I went to watch the latest Mission Impossible today and was chuckling to myself at how trivially easy it was for Ving Rhames to "hack into the satellite" multiple times. Maybe it wasn't so far off the mark after all!

A few hundred years ago expecting everyone to be literate was thought ridiculous. Many people today think that everyone learning to code is ridiculous, yet I would wager that in 100 years, people will look back and wonder how people could g

These are the exact things we should be trying to automate rather than automating away writers, artists, actors etc. Personally I think it all depends on getting a humanoid Boston Dynamics style robot made. Once you've got that done, y

As someone from the UK, this line stood out: Managers at Buc-ee’s, a Texas-based chain of stores, can make more than experienced doctors earn in Britain.

Something I wished I’d known when I first started is to look at the job listings in your local area and see which languages are being used. You might be able to get lucky and get remote work straight away, but you’ll probably find it easier

This. You used to be able to get a few "session ales" in pubs which were under 4% and meant for long drinking sessions, now because of the rise of craft beer you're lucky if you get one. Meanwhile, there's always a ton o

If I remember correctly the Pro also has a better screen as well as fans. I've got a 16GB Pro and I think I've only heard the fans kick in a few times though, I think you could easily get by without them. I'm selling it soon
