There could be a requirement that app store listed apps need to include some sort of audio watermark. While that wouldn't be perfect, since there will always be ways around it, this would still raise the barrier significantly and cut d

Placing a bet is one thing, but Facebook is spending enough money to fund a moderately sized country. I don't mind that they are doing it though, even though I think it's a terrible business decision. Facebook spends plenty of mon

While I totally agree that Atlassian products are terrible and steadily getting even worse, I'm not sure they are going anywhere anytime soon given their disconnect between users and customers. Most people who have to suffer their prod

I would imagine it's a pretty short timespan, relatively speaking. Technology can progress exponentially in a way that biology does not. Once a society gets to the point where they can create existential risks faster than they can mana

A full scale nuclear war and the resulting fallout would be unimagineably devastating. Whether that kills 100% of humans or only 99.99% doesn't really matter. The natural world we rely on would be obliterated along with us. There would

Not really, states don't have a way to prevent federal agents from enforcing federal law. The best they can do is decline to cooperate with and help those agents. Plenty of dispenseries have been shut down by feds over the years agains

To make things worse the largest consumer tech companies, like Google and Apple, have a well deserved reputation for caring very little about customer feedback. It's a normal thing to lookup how to fix an annoyance or regression, findi

I recently got a new Pixel phone and Google's much hyped new AI features just seem so... gimmicky. One of the setup examples shows how you can circle a tent on the left side of a picture and move it more to the center. Neat, I guess? I

Given all that we know now, Musk's concern for the environment seems a lot more like good marketing than a deeply held belief. A lot of what he says is nonsense but sounds neat, like pretending that we're close to building a Mars

Elon's brand has become toxic enough that firing him might be the right move, but there's no way it happens with a board made up of sycophants and drug buddies. It's bizarre how far that guy has fallen after being one of the
