That seems like nonsense. If things are that much of a mess, internet & electricity will presumably be spotty and computers will cease manufacture (& slowly decay until failure). Better to have tangible currency. Will that be USD, o

That sounds like the current to me. Too much is locked up I wonder if you can trace parallels between this observed circumstance, and our current low interest rates & low levels of inflation.

The capacity of the road network cannot be increased forever. The Bay already has some damn big freeways, and Texas has already shown that "wider" does not mean "uncongested", with their 26-lane Katy Freeway, one of the

I'd always heard that moving more and more functionality into play services was their strategy for end-running the carrier fragmentation problem.

Control your light exposure. Open the blinds during the day, invite in the daylight or get outside as soon as the sun is up. At night, ruthlessly purge lights inside your house. Shut off devices, tape over blinky lights. Cut way back on you

A better way to look at it is, in a million different places, the odds were a million to one. We happen to be observing from the one of those place where it did happen.

Aside from the other reasons provided, there's also something called the reticle limit. The manufacturing process will have a maximum die size, due to the finite size of the optics used to expose the photoresist.

It's not like police & detectives haven't dealt with false positives for the past, oh, all of human history. Each bit of information produces a list of suspects; each list of suspects is compared for the union. If more than on

There are hundreds of years of precedent saying it's OK to figure out if someone was at a location at a certain place and time. See use of CCTV, eye witness testimony, purchases & receipts, etc...

The weather is nice, but nature is not really all that close. Sure, there's worse places. But growing up there I thought we had it good on the nature front, while really it was just the koolaid.

As a general rule of thumb, screwing people by changing the rules on them harms investor confidence. The promise of future stability is an underrated part of our economy. See the FDIC. This is why many legal changes go to great pains to gra

I guess my first question is, when we say home ownership is a good investment, do we mean it will make you rich? Or that it will keep up with inflation and be cheaper than renting in the long term? The latter is hardly incompatible with aff

Coincidentally, I just switched to consuming news mostly through RSS. There just wasn't any better news aggregator that let me focus on news I actually cared about, and filtered out the crap I don't. What I long for is something l

Is it abhorrent that the owners in a neighborhood can choose to come together as a collective and influence the neighborhood they all live in? If yes, is it also abhorrent when a group of workers at a company band together to influence the

It might not fix the shortage, but could be expected to increase mobility, such that people can move to a different part of the bay when they change jobs, or downsize or upsize when life changes. That's at least a step towards addressi

The car cannot drive itself It seems like Tesla is careful not to dispel the illusion it can. Like how alcohol does not get you women- but all the adverts deftly imply it can, without actually saying it can.

I would be happier to subscribe if <minor little tool> cost $0.50/mo instead of $10/mo. I only have room for a few $10/mo bills. But companies don't seem to be willing to drop below perhaps $5/mo.

The adapters exist but are never quite as good as the "real thing". They'll misbehave with certain lenses, or the autofocus performance will be poor, or... Sort of like console emulators.

Professional grade lenses are big and heavy, and mirrorless cameras do nothing to remedy that. In fact, I added a battery grip to my APS-C body for long days shooting with my 400/f4 to add grip surface & balance the weight. I was

It's a very bleak way to look at it, but sometimes it's a splash of cold water to help you get your priorities straight.
