You should definitely read the article, it's pretty good. That said, I'd say it's not the stupid that make life miserable for everyone else, it's the smart people that were born earlier. A smart person with power sets ru

So... did the Chinese company put Romanian SIMs in the busses? Or was it an importer that installed those? Are there fleet management features enabled by that connectivity or are they actually secret? Also, why would they purchase busses th

Your spaceless sentence is quite easy to read though. It's not even 10% harder to read. Humans are quite good at recognizing patterns.

40k and works in an office is more than enough to make me jealous. FAANG numbers are so far from my frame of reference that they don't feel real enough to care about.

"Internet points go up" is the most basic of basics when it comes to making an addictive website, and this site definitely has internet points.

This site is filled with highly successful people who make/have made fortunes (or at least extremely good salaries) by playing around with computers. My failures are my own fault, but that doesn't stop the irrational feeling of je

It's social media, but an older form that's halfway between the forums and BBSs that used to be dominant and the modern stream-of-ads style. It's not quite as conducive to discussion as a forum with sequential threading but a

Assembly is often easier than using programming languages, it's just less convenient most of the time. x86 will make you think you're too stupid to understand because it is a disgusting malformed monster. Assembly on other archi

Intentionally. An easy way to accuse people who oppose you of bias is to bait them into producing quotes and soundbites that can later be used (out-of-context or not) as evidence of antisemitism.

They're usually the same thing, differing only thematically. Some "hard" sci-fi may be completely grounded in reality, but for most the "sci" is just a background setting. Many space operas are even more fantastical

I'm quite sympathetic to what you're saying, what he did was very creepy regardless of legality. I merely take issue with the idea that 16 year olds cannot consent - most people seem to think they can if the legal standards is to

16 is the age of consent in most of the US (by land area at least). Not that US laws around sex are necessarily good policy, but it reflects that there is no broad societal consensus on whether or not the 16-year-olds have the ability to co

Personally, I buy the drives with the best $/storage ratio. Right now that seems to be ~3-6TB drives. Many PC enclosures and motherboards can fit 8-12 drives, fill it up with the cheapest stuff you're willing to spend money on. It

I doubt the number of people in both "has no neighbors" and "owns Apple hardware" camps are significant at all.

I can't help but think that Sony and AMD would be better off developing a GPU-style PCI-card module that has all their DRM and compute and storage on the board, and then selling consoles that are just normal gaming PCs in a convenientl

From the perspective of securing your data, what's the practical difference between a second country and an enemy country? None. Even if it's encrypted data, all encryption can be broken, and so we must assume it will be broken.

From what I was reading, it sounded like the "with reprieve" essentially transforms the death sentence into a life sentence unless there's another crime committed. I may have misunderstood though.

No law is enforced absolutely on every offender. That's impossible. Selective enforcement is a problem, but I would never say it's worse than no enforcement unless the law is bad in the first place.

At least corruption is sometimes punished in China. The agriculture minister was just given what's essentially a life sentence for corruption.

I'm not the creator of the site, I just thought it was cool. I would guess that the information is coming from DNS records or maybe RDAP/WHOIS.
