I don't understand why Prusa thinks keeping their designs proprietary addresses the "unfair competition" problem they seem to be concerned about. Anyone wanting to release a printe…

It's difficult to quantify. Perhaps it's something as intangible as a space optimized for _living_ (like an apartment) as opposed to a space optimized for _profit_ (like a hotel). …

The checkout process requiring I enter my credit card details before seeing the final cost (tax + shipping) is strange and discourages me from proceeding.

Samsung announced that their mainline phones and tablets from 2019 onwards would receive at least four years of security updates. We are now entering the fifth year of the life for…

Google has been reliably delivering OS and security updates for the promised timeframes on their Pixel phones. I've run a few different models out to the end of their promised supp…

The experiment was on mice, but the process has been observed elsewhere. From the article: > This use of orthogonal coding to separate and protect information in the brain has been…

The main value I find in LineageOS is for devices past the end of vendor support. If LineageOS supports a device I own, great, I get to keep using it with security updates for extr…

> If a reviewer doubts the CPU benchmark on a phone, are we going to talk about how a single reviewer cannot understand the trade-off a bigger team at Apple/Samsung/Google has put?…

Speciesism is a new concept to me. Thank you for introducing me to it. Since you seem to be familiar with the concept and its application to the discussion at hand, perhaps you can…

I don't understand this point of view. My interpretation of it is that there is some idealized, perfect form of earth (and apparently the universe) that doesn't include humans. Eve…

When the difficulty is adjusted, the next difficulty adjustment is set to happen after the number of blocks the current hash rate will complete in two weeks. If the hash rate drops…

I understand that the chip has a flaw. The title claims non-Cisco products are being bricked. What other products have actually been impacted by this issue? The article doesn't giv…

It says other vendors are using the chip, but there's no data on failures of other devices. We don't know what causes the chip to fail, but it's possible that Cisco's application m…

This title seems incorrect. The article doesn't specify any other vendors or products that have been directly affected by this issue.

csproj's do have wildcard support, just no way to create them through the IDE: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164283.aspx

Can you explain why wordexp.c on the referenced site has a completely different (and older) copyright? Did they merge in another implementation?

I don't think anyone is trying to ban smart-guns. What they're trying to stop is regulation requiring guns to be smart.

Does Keurig actually sell their coffee makers at a loss? I've always thought they were overpriced to begin with.

This looks to be an implementation of the concepts (but not the language) proposed in http://www.walkercoderanger.com/blog/2014/04/what-coffeescri... . Several of the terms used ar…

> the device’s manufacturer made the police department sign a non-disclosure agreement that police claim prevented them from disclosing use of the device to the courts. I don't kno…

"ASP.NET" is the name of Microsoft's .NET web platform. To answer your rhetorical question, ASP.NET MVC is an MVC framework for Microsoft's .NET web platform. "Microsoft MVC" would…

I may be misunderstanding it, but the Clinical Assessment section of that article appears to claim that the reported injuries were not due to a laser but to other pre-existing cond…

In addition to what tlrobinson said, you only need a small threshold of hash power for a cryptocurrency to function. More hash power reduces susceptibility to 51% attacks for those…
