The bad guy here is the driver. Could Uber have done more? That's what the arbitrators concluded. But the reality is that this is a victory for the driverless cars (Waymo, Tesla, etc.). If you want to force Uber to take responsibility

Perhaps you've heard of radiant cooling? SpaceX has already deployed thousands of functioning computers in space. I think if the vacuum were an issue, we would have heard about it.

Far cheaper? There's free cooling in space. No need to overpay for water or recycle it. There's also free electricity -- once you pay for the solar panels. And there are no property taxes or corporate taxes. Given that folks like

The degree mills are sad. One legit student I know was kind of depressed that a large block of students never showed up for any classes or participated in any way. They were off at jobs or whatnot.

I've heard that in some recent battles, the units turned out to have many fewer soldiers than the payroll might suggest. Why? Commanders were registering fake names and pocketing the salaries.

What's that line from "Animal House"? Something like, "They can't do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges."

No. The fees definitely slow down the companies from trying to hire cheap replacements. Yes, the end of a grace period does make things tougher for people in a bad job, but I think the goal is really to end these bad jobs.

This is unfortunately true. He had plenty of time to set up a separate foundation and he certainly had the means to donate plenty of money to it. But he chose not to. I wish he had.

I've heard of some people on the lam who wanted to join the French Foreign Legion, a military that gives a no-questions-asked grant of citizenship at the end.

Did this collection come from the LCM? It was sad to see that one go along with Paul Allen.

For a while, Comcast/XFinity required the FBI to show up at their offices and present their badge. No emails. But I'm guessing that's changed. At the very least, it's also possible to forge a badge.

The joke is that the real estate developments are named for what's been removed. But I guess that's not the case for some of these Florida developments.

The article certainly signals that we're supposed to feel sympathy for the folks in Kenya. But they are knowingly helping people cheat, right? The next thing, we'll be asked to feel sympathy for moms who kill their kids.

So it went from three times worse to 98% better?

The article doesn't seem to explain why the BP targeted these folks and not other license plates gathered by the reader. Presumably there's some pattern, right?

I wonder if anyone has cobbled together a way to turn this data into a CT scanner? It should be possible to build something like the tricorder from "Star Trek."

It would be ironic if the holes in the quantum-safe crypto meant that they were weaker than the old school options.

I was at one committee meeting when the annual award ceremony came up. One person was considered for an award because she had a big family with many cousins and nieces. All the better to sell tables.

Has anyone integrated these story maps with Drupal? OR maybe another CMS?

One of the big features of the Harvest was the so called POPCOUNT which was supposedly added the machine at the NSA's request. (This is the number of bits in a word that are on.) I've always wondered how this might be used. Some s

My desktop with 64gb of RAM has been my best performing financial asset. The value keeps rising.

Sora isn't cheap, but regular films regularly cost more than $100m to film. Spending $20k on tokens is relatively cheap.

The NSA bought plenty of the machines back then too. They weren't always the favorites of the staff who spent plenty of time with IBM mainframes.

If spending drops by $1t, it will come out of someone's paycheck. Yes, some are greedy folks who will be just fine making 20% less a year. But many will be nurses or hospitals or some combination of providers.

Different rules for the rulers and the proles has been a big part of life on Earth for eternity. Why shouldn't we be surprised that this judge thinks it's okay to do things that a grade schooler can't.

So are we supposed to demonize the big corporations for making a profit or celebrate them for planning ahead and making sure we don't starve? I'm not so sure these days.

Declining? Not when I try to price out 10tb drives. I'm sure the economics will catch up eventually, but anyone shopping for hard drives is getting a shock.

Many ownership agreements come with limits. Some stock funds limit how much people can withdraw each month. Home "owners" associations put plenty of limits on what people can do with their "property." Do you think that s
