I miss useful computers for people who make computers useful for people. MacOS X used to feel closer to this ideal. Operating systems feel like they have moved toward throw away consumerism (maybe they always were throw away given the pace

Software support is lacking in this device. No OpenGL, no retro gaming with the March 2019 images. Are you configuring yours differently?

The internet’s previous models were doomed to fail. Service providers did not have a reliable monetization scheme. Client apps for open protocols have rarely had wide adoption and longevity, especially anything you had to pay for. I can thi

You’re taking it out of context. I highly doubt Penn would say it as you’re taking it. In the context he’s talking about weight related health.

First, with respect to the IP ownership. Be honest with the company you are joining about your entrepreneurial goals (it’s usually a quality that good managers like). You may underestimate their willingness to be flexible. Contracts are alw

Maybe twitter could show something on the card “CNN.com via malicious.example.com”? Personally I like knowing when I’m clicking a tracked or affiliate link anyway.

Can’t you just time the redirect so that when you create the card you point to CNN then change the redirect to something malicious afterward?

They can tell by which way you enter the car. This is problematic since women commonly put their purse in the passenger seat sometimes via the passenger door.

As a matter of practicality using this data adversely against customers is unlikely. 1. This is literally almost everyone on the road (that should frighten you more than insurance companies having this data) 2. Insurance is a highly regulat

Yeah these boards are a pain to get certain apps working, for example retro games. GPU support also may not exist depending on the board.

What law did he break? Was he actually breaking into computers which is against the law? Or is there some other law that makes the tech illegal?

If you want to ensure everyone pays what they owe then tax law should be sound (probably more simple than tax calculations are currently) and without loopholes. The problem with the hypothesis here is that it suggests that public opinion be

Why not A/B test #2 IMO there is some negative connotations to “bait” and “fish” but that may resonate with your audience.

The thesis here is that more people are paying for music than in that golden age of music. Spotify in theory has enabled access to a diversity of music at a more tolerable price point which has grown the pool of music payers but not necessa

There should be some better control around this feature. For example you might feel ok about first party click tracking but not third party. Or you may just want to shut the feature off completely. You shouldn’t need a browser extension to
