If you can't fix or tinker with it then it's not yours, and if it isn't yours it's not worth "buying" it but rather renting. Does JD lease their equipment? Or do they hope to? On another take, I can imagine old

And it's still "not a solved problem". A fair part of "solving" gc is optimising for context-specific tradeoffs as application domains and environments change. That will continue forever unless we all agree to sti

I think things started to go more or less downhill since HTML 2.0. For the kind of web browsing I'm used to value text and images go a long way and they don't really allow for anything too intrusive. There were tons of interesting

Given the pace and lifespans of current internet services I could bet a bit of money that this service, along with other similar ones, are more likely to be dead way before I will be.

(Anecdote warning: this might be entertaining at the very best but probably you should just skip reading.) It's interesting to read these threads. It once again reveals how I've somehow managed to entirely skip something that&#x27

Luckily, it was your LEDs that went. That's a very small problem to have if your house had a loose connection.

I have been asking this question myself. To a technologically nerdy person like myself it makes absolutely no sense. There is no reason whatsoever to physically transfer any dangerous or delicate information across a border. Anyone actually

Happiness and unhappiness are like the day and the night. Both are needed to differentiate between light and dark (you wouldn't know if you're happy unless you also had a sound contact with unhappiness). But life itself is not abo

I did wonder what full disk images of Earth might contain, considering various block formats to contain various data collected from the globe. Then I read the article.

Anyone who can claim to be able to code at least a bit should be able to implement FizzBuzz. As such, it's a childish joke for most programmers. But the alarming thing is that I've read there are people coming to programming inter

No mention of drying the air in the network. They had to have good driers to prevent water from entering the network or elaborate number of venting points to remove water from the low points of the network. Anyone know more?

Happy to see new tools for debugging. Yet it's the good old print that I most often end up using. Debugging is very context-sensitive: adding prints makes sense because I know exactly what I'm interested in, and I can drill down o

But wasn't this explained in the article, already. Dynamically stable plane doesn't aggressively rotate along any of its axis, for example, when you increase or decrease throttle. The location of MAX engines generates additional f

You're not knowingly consenting to your life's history being sold and traded on a black market that's then used to target you for such speeches when browsing on the internet I don't think the mechanism matters fundamen

My OnePlus 6 lasts about four days, with each charging cycle containing a few hours of speaking, checking random stuff on the web, and using instant messaging and occasional photo shooting. I really, really don't miss the era of early

political advertising can be tuned to your personal hot button issues And is this not what happens traditionally as well? Politicians give different speeches to different audiences. Candidates before election talk very differently to vari

I think the average person cares about privacy either in a localised context or a pathological context. They don't want their neighbours to see inside their house, they don't want all their friends know what some of their friends

You only need the large gap once you've accelerated up to a much higher speed. Going from small gap while standing in lights to large gap at a higher speed cannot be reached in unison. The later cars must inevitably accelerate slowe

Yes, this is frustrating, especially with the "Top stories" feed which seems to quite randomly choose something interesting occasionally and when you go see it again it's buried by something else. The "Most recent"

Choosing Tesla is easy if all you care about is 0-100 km/h performance. However, not everyone do that.

To me (and many others) this topic is political in nature and controversial. How so? It's not about political decisions one way or another but observing a new phenomenon on the market for sex and relationships. There are tons of scie

The article seems to talk about all kinds of things VPNs are not about, and criticises them for those, and give a thin touch, if any, to the actual reasons VPNs are useful and why they were designed in the first place. Weird.

I always wonder why our cities can't be "denser". Perhaps we are too used to our cars and driving everywhere? It's cars. Designing for cars is mutually exclusive to designing for pedestrians. Cars require lots of space

I would assume Google would not even be allowed to let third-party developers use their DRM implementation even if they wanted to. The real stakeholders would grumble a stern no. If this is true the real fix would be to patch the copyright

There is some cognitive limit of how many variants of procedures pilots can be expected to memorise and execute. Detecting a classic constant runaway trim is an old drill for pilots. Detecting a trim that gradually runs away, then stops to

Hard to block, yes, but the problem would be to find people who'd publicly share a copy or parts of scihub from their IP address.

You comment on someone else's comment, or the article. What you will get as replies, if anything, is unknown at the time of writing. Thus, it need not be and cannot be part of the process of writing the comment in the first place.

What is the draw of wireless charging? What is it that I'm missing? If you haven't figured it out and you're happy with a cable, stick with it. There is no greater disservice in life than relieving yourself from something y
