No affiliation whatsoever, just thought this looked like an interesting and affordable product.

I was worried from the very start of the WASM tech, that it would lead to the end of the user-controlled client. You don't even really need an embedded browser, a motivated provider could create a completely proprietary protocol for r

Likely because it alleviates the need to always be charging, whenever you're not on the road. Not having to make special arrangements for a charging station at work. Or for example, sharing a charging station at home instead of requir

It's interesting to see AMD's take on big-little. The only difference between their Zen 4 core (big) and Zen 4c (little) cores is the speed and thermal characteristics. Owing to the same architecture (RTL) being implemented by b

Without government picking winners and loser (through protective legislation and regulation) the free market means that honest competition keeps corporations in check. There is an adversarial element inherent in the system. The reason we

There's no government system that has been proposed that can not be captured. The only option that has proven to work so far, is to limit the government, so that regulatory capture doesn't matter that much.

You're seeing what remains of a strong and healthy period of Canadian history. But almost every facet is currently under threat and significant stress. You can't fund a "news" organization with public money and expect t

Spoken with the same tone and language that the nanny state and media use. It's inappropriate and shameful. I hope more people start to see through it before civil society is completely lost.

The CBC is little more than crass government propaganda at this point. Canada in general should be viewed as a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks more government intervention in our lives, is a good thing.

Well, ignoring your minor mischaracterization of my position, yes it is a defense of meat eating. It's just not ethics you agree with. But that's the great thing with ethics, everyone gets to pick their own. There's no rig

The web page takes a while to load, but is quite responsive and illuminating once it gets going. Really well done.

Here's my ethical defense of eating meat. Everyone and every thing dies, and in the larger scheme of things it matters not one bit. I'll make peace agreements with others where I see a benefit, and if I can trust that the other s

Indeed. I just find it makes me feel more connected and closer to stories like this one, when thinking in terms of generations, rather than years.

by ta8645 3y ago
It always amazes me how far we've come in that time. That's only 250 generations of people, or so. Not a lot, when you think of it in those terms.

> On the other hand, if you try to change the system, it is highly likely to destroy your life. What that implies is that being especially smart isn't sufficient. If being smart was a powerful differentiator, then there would be an

by ta8645 3y ago
A smart person could find a way to do something about that; work around the incentive structures, or alter them. All you're doing is dressing up selfishness as "intelligence", which is not the same thing.

Given how few people continue to use Bittorrent these days, I'd say media companies have demonstrated an ability to do pretty well at customer capture and enforcement. Similarly, they don't have to completely eradicate adblockers,

Youtube pays literally billions of dollars a year to content creators. That ads up after a while.

by ta8645 3y ago
More importantly, content creators get paid by Youtube.

by ta8645 3y ago
I doubt Youtube cares about Sponsorblock. That isn't used to skip Youtube Ads, just content creator ad reads and such, that Google doesn't get any money from.

Interested to know how long it will take to roll out to everyone. I've still been blissfully unaware of any change during my Youtube viewing.

by ta8645 3y ago
The inflation we're starting to see over the same timespan, makes that comparison harder to evaluate.

Some light-switches have the "smarts" to turn on and off at certain times, built right into them. Therefore, you might lose access to the external tool you used to program them, and they'll happily continue on repeating the

I've never owned an Apple device. I don't take photographs or video with my phone very often. But this video presentation was captivating. It was clear, concise, without any nonsense, and thoroughly interesting.
