My thoughts exactly. I have two apps out on Google Play. They are full featured, stable, and people still like them. I just want them to to continue to work. But they don't. I need to constantly take away from my time developing

The American lifestyle/diet and healthcare costs are two separate issues that both desperately need to be solved. What a lot of people don't know outside the U.S., is that the obesity crisis exists in upper class and upper-middle

Why should property rights be the same for a commercial enterprise as someone's actual home? Not sure about unintended consequences on this one, but I would rather have a law be in place to allow more home ownership over more investme

Wow. This is a failure from so many parties. The pilots for not knowing the correct procedure. Boeing (who should bear the majority of the blame) for allowing sensors that are not properly redundant, purchasing sensors that appear to fau

Proof that Apple has anorexia: 5mm thin on the outer edge of the all-in-one computer and monitor. Thinner than a lot of monitor-only's everywhere else. What is the purpose? Who would not trade a thicker stationary monitor for better

I used this in the mid- to late-90's on my 80386 (which was very much out of date at the time, but was all I had). I was very new to computing at the time, and the only other languages that I had under my belt were QuickBASIC and 8038

Wait, is Amazon the US government now? Should I send my tax money to Amazon instead? This is not cool, we should not have to pay Amazon money to watch our publicly funded television. I don't buy that PBS doesn't "have the m

They claim it to be, but your experience in the game is very limited in VR mode.

It's possible that it's because they are market dominating, that they have a different focus on which features to bring first than Krita. BTW I have been using Krita for about 2 years, and used to have a dual-boot with Windows,

The prevailing opinion is to just let the scientists do their work, and don't second-guess them. Well, there is a reason that they are being second-guessed. Look at all the harm that has occurred because of the old scientific consens

When I was a child, I would suffer from terrible muscle contractions in my calves. I would get a charlie horse in the middle of the night, and it would not go away completely for over a day. I couldn't put my foot flat to walk proper

First and foremost, you have to be healthy, mentally, emotionally, and physically (yes, physically). If you are not up to par, get these out of the way, first. Go to the gym, sleep well, eat well, don't consume mind-altering substanc

So what, was Whole Foods giving employees more hours than what was required to have the store functioning properly, simply because labor was cheap? That doesn't add up, to me. Also, this is discounting the value of the employee'

Wow, NASM is really a blast from the past for me. 80386 assembly was my second "language" that I learned, after various forms of BASIC (on TRS-80 and QuickBASIC). In the mid-90's I was a teenager, and would write most of my

Tesla - love them or hate them, you have to admit, this move is bold, even borderline insane. I can't tell if this is going to save the company or wreck them, but I have to admire the balls of the leadership! At the end of the day, I

Companies need to leave the policing to the police. Also, hate speech is not illegal in USA, nor should it be. It is a complicated issue - everything that is wrong should not be illegal or banned.

Making a good FLOSS product and relying on donations alone would be a foolish career choice, agreed. You need to be creative on how you earn income, and it can be done. That being said, if you are looking for the easiest way to make money

If they are smart, they will have their margins adjusted to support a niche device. There are a few people (including myself) that are willing to sacrifice a beautiful UI for all the good things that go along with a user-respecting OS. Als

Digital computation has been able to rise to this level of complexity because we can precisely predict/repeat outcomes because of exact numbers and boolean logic. I could not fathom anything like what we have using analog. I was read

I grew up poor, and out of (mechanical) engineering college new a grand total of zero engineers. I would still be unemployed to this day if this type of hiring were the norm (although it is not entirely uncommon). I can also say, that the

So the paper describes a way to make new neurons. Any indication that adding new neurons will actually improve cognitive abilities? I know nothing about neuroscience, but I could see a scenario where it is analogous to adding a computer t

Chinese companies are much more likely than Western companies to be forced by the government to do something that may not be aligned with their business interests. It's just easier for the government to get away with it, and they have

So far no one has seen the utility of this vehicle. There are millions of families that have multiple vehicles, and where both partners work. When taking a trip as a family, they might want a minivan or SUV. When they commute, one might

My "despicable" side business is (was) making Android apps with Admob ads. I needed to update my app to allow EU users to opt out of targeted ads. Why Admob doesn't just add this functionality to their widget they place in

I think that the Arduino is worth mentioning, even though it fails the "power on to basic" need of the OP. Once setup, it is fairly easy to compile and upload to the board, and there is a lot that you can do with it, if they are

I do feel bad for this guy, because I feel that the majority of what he says is true, but it just can't be true that an employer saying he didn't work somewhere that he did is effective "blacklisting". I have worked a f

Sugar and corn syrup seem like glaring omissions, given that a lot of recent data suggests that sugar is much more of a leading cause of obesity than we once thought. It would also have been nice to see some indication of the processing in
