You vastly underestimate the size and diversity of India. Their middle class is bigger than that of the USA or I think even that of the entire EU. The can have a low rate on pretty…

The question is: What will they do after, when Trump is gone, and his policiey on Chinese imports anf foreign workers are gone with him? I hope they hurry. Now’s the time!

Keep telling yourself that… Here in Europe, we actually use mostly trains. Trucking is for the smaller deliveries, like some five bathtubs from Sweden to Germany. And we use trains…

Why do we need bookmarks when we have softlinks. They are the same concept, and an OS that makes a distinction, is a faulty OS, IMHO. Ditto for tabs. The task bar already serves th…

Aka something that should never be that way in the first place.

Well, if we found it, it would already be contained unless accessed by definition. Also, magnetic fields could definitely contain it, as is already done. We can already make anti-m…

TL;DR: He didn't! He wrote a UI for a browser engine (Webkit, of couuurse). Using a UI toolkit (Qt). In a scripting language. Which is more putting wallpaper on the walls than cons…

Ashamed of it and ridiculed? I would have tought of it a fascinating and fashionable! Especially with white hair. Man, I want that when I am old! And yeah, their ancestors might ha…

So he’s blue-skinned. Or are you implying he exists or existed for real independent of people’s psychotic heads?

The moon's dust contains huge amounts of helium-3. Which apparently is an amazing power source. Also, why fission? We do have working fusion reactors. They are called hydrogen bomb…

Who said anything about uranium? There are elements with far more favorable decay paths. Short decay + using that decay too = pretty much a clean nuclear reactor.

I’m disappointed. I expected a project-Orion-type interstellar solution. Not a measly ”twice as fast as conventional“ water kettle. Also, no word about what they will acually use. …

I highly doubt this is more than lip service. Thesr organizations are run by certified psychopaths, who don’t care about being good, but only about looking good. So they can keep d…

You’ll need $2 million, just for the mask. And if you want to fab yourself, the machines cost in the range from $10 to $50 million. For one machine. And you will need many. As the …

What do you think happens to electronics that are sent back during warranty due to being defective? They are mostly "refurbished" (=repaired and cleaned), and then sold again. If p…

It’s not just about faults. But about customizability and upgrades! I like to choose how much RAM and storage and which ports I want with how many generic, vector, FPGA and neural …

Gloodbye customizability and modularity, from a user standpoint. I guess Apple will hire them pretty soon.

What do you mean ”outside“? How can you tell there actually is an outside? (And if you can never tell, why would it matter?)

Dear journalist... it’s called forgiveness. Look it up. The problem with permanent records is, that it forces you to never change. Meaning you deliberately keep a murderer a murder…

No, I must cometely disagree there. We certainly love improving stuff. But more than half the point of programming is, that you only have to come up with and do it once. We just co…

That is true. They are quite a different beast than HTML5 though. Not much left to code yourself there. It’s the difference between using Canvas, and writing Canvas.

Yes it does. Example: My new language "Crysislang". It has only one one-bit instruction. That, when compiled, results in a whole Crysis game. A whole 3D shooter! Written in only on…

That’s the thing with your brain: Everything is kinda like that! All the time. Most of your brain literally cannot distinguish between fantasy, dream, stories, and actual experienc…

What socks? :D Try heart beat, breathing, blood flowing through you, your intestines working, air going through hairs and across your snin, saliva being squeezed out of your mouth'…
