If a recession is bad enough some will panic and pull it all out. The reality is that crypto is not essential—it’s convenient and has potential but it’s value is backed by what? Other financial assets are backed by stuff like voting rights

In my opinion if social media is important to society the way it seems there should be a government funded social network for users and businesses. In the USA like NPR and PBS. The problem is companies selling peoples data and optimizing th

Instagram could be use as a “snapshot” of the real thing. If I were a photographer I would use it to hook folks into browsing the full version on my website (and buy prints if they’d like). The fact is, with huge DPI densities of photos the

Why not skip the keywords altogether and use an ACTUAL λ symbol. Funny thing we have UTF8 everywhere but no one uses it… People are still typing ASCII in markdown files, but there’s Unicode symbols to render tables and whatnot directly in a

Context is important though. For instance, developers applying for management position with no management experience. In other words just because they work at a company does not mean they are qualified for the position there (or elsewhere)

I personally have language fatigue after playing with various languages over two decades. The thing I hate about rust is abbreviated keywords like “fn” and “mut” because it sounds like fricken mutt. A function is a function not a fn, and is

Hence the musing… when you muse about something you want to keep it loose exploration no?

I’m not trivializing history just calling out all the pundits who armchair complain about people’s good-natured blog posts.

Well Bitcoin will die anyway because Ethereum actually does something useful and they’re onto Proof of stake. Honestly folks should pull their money out and invest in something tangible like starting a business that ACTUALLY CREATES VALUE.

I think the article is more of a musing than a mathematical proof… I mean who has the time to deep dive into 100% historical accuracy of these things. I thought it was a neat look at a historical context of something mundane like a hyperlin

Interesting technical problem/solution. Another benefit is saving on millions of server computations when modern iOS devices have neural chips etc. I suppose folks who don’t like privacy implications can downgrade to an iPhone 4 and ma

I don’t get the naming of said device. Brand identity is important and a Ploopy just doesn’t sound very serious. I mean, ploopy rhymes with poopy. The little mouse plooped a ploppity plop.

I think there is because “rent” and “lease” implies your intent is to stay there short-term. “Buy” says you literally are buying the home whether it’s with your money or someone else’s via some mortgage terms. With an Apple device it certai

Whoever named it Comirnaty needs to stop taking Hydroxychloroquine.

Nicely done! It’s a neat game. I wouldn’t call it a great tool because it’s impossible for me to interpret the music from the blocks themselves without playing it. That being said I’m sure that wasn’t the original intent of the app! 2D info

Ah—yeah that makes sense. I would like to foray into better hardware territory at some point. There certainly could be a lot of value for all applications with quick mouse-triggered macros and whatnot. I typically swap my mouse hand to prev

Is there a reason why? Does OSX lock down the driver subsystem or something? Personally I don’t have a fancy mouse (just a cheap wired Microsoft one) because it’s hard to find good ambidextrous mice. So it probably just uses standard mouse

Taking a step further, any nation could deliberately send a weaponized fleet to destroy satellites and then follow up with a ground strike.

I think part of it is deregulation in the USA too. As has been mentioned it is sooo easy to sign up for credit cards because banks want citizens drowning in debt. When I lived there I got like 4 credit card applications in the mail per day;

Technically I own my iPhone but the software is licensed to me (not a lawyer but that’s my understanding). We probably also sign something that allows Apple to do what they will with our images—albeit we retain the copyrights to them. Just

Technically they could have been scanning the photos already to power some AI algorithms or whatever else. I think this is a nudge for folks to wake up and see the reality of what it means to use the cloud. We are leasing storage space from

Inanimate objects stimulate the mind. Wooden blocks can become space ships, rocks mountains. I wouldn’t trade my imaginative childhood experience for any modern day app. No way.

It’s going to be a global scale “north versus south” war like in South Park—everyone will blame Canada… and Satan will… err never mind. :)

If there’s a heat wave and drought the only way is to dig tunnels and build cities underground. Water can be imported from the ocean (rising sea levels) and desalinated using solar/thermal power above ground and feed an aquifer!

Who says you need any of the above? Cloud storage is overrated. When is the last time you lost files? I have stuff from an old lexar jump drive early 2000s doing just fine. For more sensitive materials back up when the data changes and stor

I think the broader problem is the human mental condition. One of the largest contributors to global emissions is large scale factory farming but how many people are going to stop eating at McDonalds? Point being: people’s habits need to ch

They would have to actually seize drugs (in the USA) to make a case unless there was something else…

The problem I think is largely due to lack of checks-and-balances. In the office you have investors who can apply pressure to management, who apply pressure to developers and hold them to a schedule; the lack of peer reviews (potentially) a
