I know a lot of people here are tired of these teaser headlines and don't want to be told anything until there's an actual cure. But here me out - I'm old enough to have lost several friends and family to cancer. Along the wa

Sometimes it's the little things that can have the biggest impact. It'd be nice if you could change the default snooze duration and change the duration on an alarm-by-alarm basis, but I'll take it.

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding in claims that tech is riddled with incompetence just because some projects take years with little visible output. What’s often overlooked is the massive difference between building a customer-facing p

The largest handset maker in the world, Samsung, created their own mobile OS, Tizen, which failed to gain traction on smartphones. If I were to consider making an open-source mobile OS, I'd start there in looking at why Tizen failed.

The total system weight for hydrogen (tank + hydrogen) for a class 8 truck capable of a range of 500 miles is 16% of the weight that an EV battery pack would be that delivers the same range - even though the EV is considerably more efficien

Hydrogen was never practical in the consumer space, but I think it still has benefits to offer in the heavy machinery and long-haul transport space. This is why Toyota is investing heavily in the long-haul transport space and is making hydr

Honor also plays a part. The US has broken several treaties, claiming they're no longer valid because the current administration doesn't like the people who negotiated those treaties. That makes the US undependable, unreliable. Wh

What’s truly sad isn’t that he feels victimized - it’s that he’s using his wealth and influence to settle personal scores. That’s not leadership; it’s grievance-fueled ego. It’s moral immaturity dressed in power.

Like many people my age (ahem!) the Commodore 64 was my first computer and I loved it and it's responsible for my long software development career. But I don't want that Commodore 64 today. I want the Commodore 64 of 2025. A machi

Yeah, well - in my city you can't park without an app. The option I use is to get rid of all social media on my phone. ALL. The upshot is I'm able to use old, cheap smartphones to do what I need to do and there's nothing on

I would argue even science is a slog - who's hiring them? At some point, you have to realize you're either working for research or academia and there are very few positions available, and they almost always require a Ph.D. I know
