50+ years of manufacturers spending on R&D for internal combustion engines could have been spent on improving electric powertrain technology. Think about how many engineer's have spent their entire lives optimizing ICE powertrains,

Perhaps Costa Rica if your ok with a standard of living the same as the locals? Most call centers there pay around $1000 a month for those with good English skills and an education, and their healthcare (universal healthcare) and education

Chrome had the advantage of having the #1 search engine with 90+% market share show warning modals saying "Works best in Chrome" while they actively gated features or degraded features for other browser users. Swapping user agents

Did you ever use Linspire? It had a posh, user friendly app store with a ton of useful apps, Firefox, Flash Java and most other things worked without issue. Not a bad experience in the early 2000s on a Pentium 3!

In 2001 Linspire had a huge software library you could install from with a single click right from Click N Run (a pretty app store with the app icon, name, description, storage required and user reviews.). Firefox worked, as did Flash (hell

Twitter as a company leans liberal, not left. Don't confuse what part of the username says with what Twitter the company does. Twitter is all too happy to rip away open APIs, block and rate limit bots and anything else that will increa

Mega.io (from the same people as MegaUpload) has e2e file encryption with just usernames and passwords. There is no reason the password can't be the encryption key, with backup keys stored with a trusted third party (eg: your credit un

So the only fines that T-Mobile has paid are for the rural call call completion issues then? Crazy that they can get away with regional and nationwide voice outages, SSNs and TINs repeatedly being leaked en masse, and the only fines they ge

It looks like Opus (the project linked to) goes back to at least 2003, while the coalition behind the Opus Codec chose to create a name collision around 2012.

This makes a lot more sense why CondoInternet and other small ISPs joined Wave Division Holdings now. What do you think the future of Wave is since their leadership exited the firm and convinced an SPAC to put them in charge of a new region

You must not have kids that demand to play with games on your phone then. I have witnessed many iPhones get smashed when said kids drop the phone (almost always by accident). One person I know went through 3 iPhones in a year due to this :(

Sounds like a good reason to integrate with Authorize.net or another vendor that provides platform agnostic APIs that let you pick your own payment vendor (at much lower cost than Amazon's payment offerings).

Google Fi already sells cell service, it's essentially T-Mobile service but without most domestic roaming and with higher prices than Mint, T-Mobile Connect and their other MVNOs. From what I hear MMS stopped working a few months ago f

Dilute it with more sea water and send it to the Salton Sea. This would improve water quality in the Salton Sea while detaining the brine.

For SoCal it could be detained in the Salton Sea and likely have quite a positive impact in improving water quality there.

Desalination allows the now unused surface water to be collected and diverted further upstream, slowing the decline of upstream aquifers. For the upstream cities that use the Colorado River this could be quite beneficial.

They could also have dug a hole adjacent the river to take advantge of the filtering properties of the soil (gravel, sand, clay or whatever it is along this river), reducing algae, contaminants and eliminating fish from the water for free.

The water in aquifers, streams, rivers and lakes should not be considered something you can hold the right to as private property. These are public resources, and in many other places you can own the land below a lake or river, but you do n

A proprietary, centrally ran ISP with little community input is a false equivalent of NYC Mesh. The friends of mine that use NYC Mesh often experience speeds faster than what can be reasonably purchased from other ISPs available in the same
