Really illustrates the brilliance of choosing the name. Obfuscating normal conversation.

I would add that not all physical engineers have to get licensed to do their work. So what's the difference then between that type of iteration and the type of iteration you see commonly in software? It sounds like the main differentia

Lol, you think physical engineers don't throw together prototypes that they know won't be good enough for the final design just to get everything working together?

Are you really trying to say that these two companies are working the same way as FAANG?

So glad I wasn't the only one to catch the contradiction with Hardin. Also we seem to be saying that Hardin and other individuals (e.g. the woman who was tossed off the colony ship who narrates sometimes) are very special, which is als

OP deserves credit. They accurately classified this show after less than 2 episodes. I'm resigned to watching all of season 1, despite how awful it is. The worst thing is that they already renewed this crap, so we'll have to wait

A slowed down narrative to fit into the greater Foundation narrative is exactly how Foundation should be adapted. Unfortunately the show's narrative is completely ridiculous. Nothing makes rationale sense. It seems that no character ca

Strong disagree. This is one of the worst shows I've ever watched. Lots of magical story elements that just poof out of nowhere at just the right time. On top of that there's ton of useless scenes where literally nothing important

Why do you think the best case scenario for openness is centralization? I love all of the organizations you listed and I think the best way for them to thrive is to remain separate. You want good integration between an open phone, laptop, a

Would this be true for things like audiobooks and particularly interesting long-form articles on the web that you actually want to listen to as opposed to "getting through"?

It's unsurprising to me in the same way that the Snowden leaks were unsurprising, but having something concrete to point to to back up my expectations is useful.

Really though, if we're talking about "completely secure" computers, or even something approaching that, no one can be trusted to keep any system secure. So why not at least let users have some freedom while taking care of th

Say instead of using a bank to store your money you store it on the blockchain. Suddenly you don't have to worry about Wells Fargo opening accounts in your name and charging you fees for those accounts. https://en.wikipedia.

Venezuela was using Bitcoin a lot when they were experiencing hyper inflation. I just Googled this again for an update and I saw that they may have dropped their former currency altogether? I think access is a major problem here, although I

Since when has tech culture been about trusting big companies and governments to do the right thing? Sure you can achieve all the same objectives as the currency-side of the blockchain with traditional means, but, fuck the traditional means
