There was a post recently about dunbar's number and it seemed straightforward to me, while reading it, that what it's really revealing is what it takes to scale above dunbar's number and that what we call "religion"

The messaging is off. Framework is not a non-profit, right? At least IBM paid employees to be linux evangelists.

That's good. Shouldn't have changed to begin with. If Apple wanted a water pistol they should have gone through the process to add a new one. On the other hand, the IOC just added E-sports to the olympics. No shooter games allo

What's funny is other (possibly less trustable) countries will have your scan anyway... try "opting" out of the face scan when you arrive in India.

Fun read. The licensing of bitkeeper was a real thing. Although I don't follow the kernel mailing list at all nowadays, I remember Alan Cox calling it out as buttkeeper. Good Times.

Well, Windows UAC was the last user facing push for security. It remains to be seen what Satya thinks, especially of the recent security failures on the backend (the windows client vulnerabilities is a constant and has always been). The re

Nah. I can imagine the country without the first amendment and it wouldn't be pretty. The big one they missed were think tanks. That's where the real corruption is. Oh and will you look at that... the Tax Foundation is a 501(c)

I realize "baby steps" and I should be happy for the incremental improvements. But somehow I just can't help feeling this will stall. freetaxusa was already "free" for federal and I don't see a seamless trans

Not sure why I read this. The writing seemed honest, but guarded. I almost didn't make it past the feminist ideology. If I was her editor I'd tell her to drop it, but still, it does seem to come from someplace genuine. I think

"Apple told 9to5Mac that is impossible if the user followed the expected procedure for wiping the device" I suppose it's now impossible to delete a photo and have it reappear in the future.

There's an RX6900XT for $93 on amazon. It says sold by a chinese merchant... do people consider this legit or is this some type of scam? I don't see new or used listed and I get the feeling this gpu was used for crypto and being

Just wanting to get rid of "passwords" means getting rid of "something i know" as an authentication factor. That should not be the goal. The issue is that the other authentication factors have real drawbacks. It'

Well the article says Andreesen invented the first web browser. High praise for something that's not true though. Credit where credit due and no more.

I can't stand all the "AI" junk, especially when things worked better in the past. My pet peeve: I used to be able to ask google maps while I was driving "What's the E.T.A.?" and it would respond with, you kno

I suppose we could also say IQ highly correlates with social ineptitude. Who could've known people wouldn't like you if you made repugnant statements... surely not 'smart' people!

I have family in the north-east and I've heard them use the term tuk-tuk before. They'll also use the term auto-rickshaw for the ICE ones.

It's parenting. Of course then, what is "good" parenting and what is "bad"? Honestly, I don't know how much screen time is "good" vs "bad" or if there is a correct amount. There's on
