I rarely watch videos all the way through, but this documentary on the making of the premier Viking sword was fascinating. The speculation on how the technology got to Europe and the actual building of an ancient smelter etc. really interes

How is anyone in SV going to eat if private corporations can't track our every move? I mean, not everyone takes cab rides or rents private homes when they travel, but almost everyone uses the internet for something. And those peopl

I have been a big fan of the RISC-V efforts. Arm's attack is actually heartening in the sense that it confirms the perceived threat from RISC-V is real. This is a moment on the path that makes me realize real progress is being made f

Well, if you went down the emacs path in 1985 when MicroEmacs was released (near as I can tell anyway), that was six years before vim was released, so I think you meant to say "vi," not "vim." Some of us still use plain

Tell me more about how I can waste their money by clicking random ads. I have blocked all ads since adblockers were invented, but if I can actively create a disincentive by wasting their money, I want to do that.

There are many loads where that system would create a lot of inefficiecies. The type of loads where it makes sense are already run that way. It's called LTL (less than truckload) and is one of the most volatile sectors of the industry.

If there were any moral concerns in the hiring world at large, the Ivy League would already be in decline. The truth that it is more about connections than raw talent or merit has been evident for a long time. The myth that America is a mer

Doris Lessing's age is interesting in this case. She is the same generation as my mother. The difference in views and attitudes toward men between that generation, my wife's generation, and my daughter's generation is concern

It seems from TFA that the speed limiter had been set to 85 mph, yet the data recorder showed the car traveling at 116 mph three seconds before the crash. Did the speed limiter fail too?

This is a great record. It's too bad they paved that road, though. It wasn't that long ago that everyone was dreaming of breaking 10 minutes in Unlimited, but a little asphalt has made that very do-able but not as fraught with dan

You are correct about asynchronous communication, of course. That is a great thing, and I should have included IRC / texting on the plus side. The worldwide communities? I enjoy them, but it seems to me that it is one of the fundamen

Of course you're right, but it's also right to say that it's shitty when the for profit platform has more money than many small countries and insists that everyone must show their ads all the time. The money that the for p

Oh, well, probably not 5 years. More like 20 years away for human-level AI, according to everyone I've read since the 80s. Fusion power will be coming online right around then, too, so that's good. And the true value of the blo

In hindsight, I think my strong reaction is directed more toward those who want to intrude than toward you. I get that a lot of people invested a lot of time into this, but there's a suggestion in TFA that implies that this effort meri

What you say makes sense, but no one asked them to care. Further, those feelings do not in any way give them the right to intrude into the life of a family they've never even met. It's a classic case of "none of your business
