BS. People with the most money have the most power, make laws, and continually grow more powerful. Labor is extremely valuable, but suppressed by those with more money.

Maybe they could focus on the OS basics first instead of packing features no one will use. Windows still can't position windows well and loses useful features by the day.

There's no definition because we haven't been able to quantify it.

I thought we did know this now. I can't quote exactly what science I read, but the science latest I saw showed consciousness arrises in the nerves outside the brain.

You're scared of monolithic unions, so give all power to government? Unless workers own the company, unions are needed to give voice to power.

If you aren't joking, it's because executives fight against employees to enrich themselves. They only consider the next quarter, not systemic change.

It's all lighting money on fire. All the funding is our tax dollars given to private industry.

Maybe Siri isn't. I'm not even sure I've ever seen anyone use it successfully. I'm pretty sure Google's assistant was built using ML.

I use both Mac and Windows with no Apple account or Microsoft account. I lose some features, but gain privacy. Once I lost access to a Windows machine.

I'm interested in where this data is sourced: "only 21% of people will buy a car without carplay". I find that really hard to believe even if the survey was isolated to SF.

This article is very surprising to me, people actually use and want this software? I always avoid using car infotainment because they suck and just link my phone via bluetooth because it isn't the worst possible thing.

Typically, large ISPs create local laws preventing municipal broadband. In some locales they are more successful and create laws giving themselves money or monopoly status. Often, only certain providers are permitted to use public infrastru

It's true, we tried. At some point congressmen and senators decided to start handing billions to huge companies based on promises rather than creating public infrastructure. Now we give money to companies who say they will make the inf

I thought the point of Redis was to avoid hitting DB. Why not just use SQL?

by whoitwas 3y ago
I use redis as a cache layer in front of the DB. I don't understand the concept.

This sort of legislation makes no sense, shows how out of touch regulators are with tech, and does the opposite of their intent as tech companies simply don't link the content.

I've never seen any value for me in the Amazon spy devices. They listen to your home and play ads. Amazon profits, not me. For me, device has less utility than an electric can opener.

If you read the article, it was powered by 1000 cashiers in India, no sensors.

Agreed. A good policy is to include ticket number and a short description.

Given the context, I don't think the easiest explanation is he killed himself. There's a pattern of whistleblowers dying.

Very odd title and the story takes a while to get into it.

In context it made perfect sense. They compared 2 companies who had a product without the technology to enable it.

Public utilities don't operate in a free market. It's not possible, the infrastructure is public.

I actually like to look at a calendar occasionally and never use it for scheduling events. I have no use for Outlook. It's kind of absurd that viewing a calendar is gated behind an MS account.

We all know you can use Windows without an account, but how do you do basic things? I'm an engineer who uses mostly unix systems which leaves me as a but of a PC newb nowadays. I use Windows for gaming, but refuse to create a Microsoft
