Yeah, there's something to be said for playing an online game in which everyone has the same exact hardware (mostly). This is coming from a person who occasionally plays competitive games on a 2012 Thinkpad and comforts himself when he

I fully agree with everything that has been said in this reply chain. It is easy to get caught up in the "well, for just a few dollars more..." loop, and forget all of the accouterments that this includes, which are cheap but add

I saw this somewhere else and then went to submit it... I was brought here, at which time I realized I have already even upvoted it :/ I think I need some sleep.

Oh.... Oh no. Just kidding: After skimming the article, this looks like necessary progress. I myself (as a layman) had assumed this is already how they did it - although I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that.

I have some of these same feelings. But for me, those feelings are complimented by the conviction that without these kinds of monetization, the Internet would be largely useless. Of course, some might argue that this version of the Internet

All of this is valid. While writing that comment, I had in mind a particular blog, one that responsibly displays its ads. I do get wanting to get rid of ads on sites I don't care about.

Here's the ever-present warning when employing any ad-blocking: make sure you whitelist friendly blog sites, they need your ad money to operate! (Not that there is anything wrong with this project, just keep that in mind). I do underst

Yeah, I find this view to be pretty unfair to the author. He was not directly responsible for things like data policy or anything at Fb. As he said multiple times, he found fulfillment from working on projects with a small group, and from d

This, all of this. I was thinking it was a vuln too, but it's no big deal. At this point the Internet has made us sort of desensitized to clickbait, even accidental ones :] Anyway neat idea!

Yeah, and sometimes you can lose meaning too. If I were implementing this, I would bleep out things like slurs, and words like 'shit' would be replaced with their (arbitrarily less crude) counterparts - 'crap' in this ca

Of course, that's only with the interpretation of the word 'singularity' that is the creation of intelligence. According to Wikipedia, the singularity is "The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypo

Cynical opinion: Not really. We constantly see greatly inflated expectations of technological developments ("I bet in 2000 we'll have rocket cars!") that almost never come to fruition. The 'singularity' is mostly

For me, having a local music library is doubly as important because I am often out of reliable cell service. I usually rip CDs to my iPhone, but as of yet I have avoided paying for any music services. I generally prefer to own my music rath

Ouch. I guess this has been around long enough, we must also assume the sad duties of sorting through digital belongings, too.

Jeff Geerling! I'm excited for the video that I know is forthcoming, I'm haven't even looked at Turing Pi's official release because I want to hear your take on it :)
