I tourist'd DC about 7 years ago and the bikeshare program there utterly transformed the city for monument access and getting around. Faster and closer dropoffs to the sights, gett…

I personally don't need around-town self driving. I really wish highway and congested highway automation would be worked on first, it is way way way way easier to do. Automated tac…

Another environmental article, another round of crickets from the cognescenti of hacker news. I love that the oil and gas industry pretends that shoving a bunch of CO2 gas in the g…

How many Model S/X?

... so CAP theorem is disproven? This would imply that linearizable distributed transactions (in less byzantine networks) would be possible beyond what CAP enables. Or are they rel…

- family - friends - familiarity And coal fire plants are experiencing massive pressures from alternative energy, not just natural gas. And they should. Coal fire plants release mo…

PDP-8 has a minimal number of opcodes.

NO because everyone is an imposter. Imposter syndrome people just aren't deluding themselves.

A 30% possible clock frequency increase? That is pretty big compared to other node shrinks, isn't it?

The most common abuse is probably steroids in weightlifters. They don't even have a sport, they just want to look buff.

I dislike the term "privileged" and it's PC cult. But this guy's essay is dripping in the privilege of the upper class.

One of the main problems with missle defense is probably achieving intercept speed. Ground based means you need to fight gravity. Why not have high flying solar powered long endura…

In almost all versions of civilization, the game, techs are about the most valuable advantage and spoils from war. We gave almost all of our tech to China for some plastic kewpie d…

Cassandra GC: check out scylla or the rocksandra projects.

Fundamentally, the "pluggable storage" is probably the driver protocol. As in Scylla, Cassandra, or Cass/Rocks

Yes, why would centralization not be good for efficient delivery of healthcare services, particularly where multidisciplinary treatment is involved? It's basically why the cancer c…

This seems like obsolete dirtburner Car and Driver logic based on soon-to-be-outmoded standards. Same antipattern would appear with aerodynamic designs to save fuel in the 80s. The…

They're all offshore. The offshore people use their geographic obfuscation to train in juniors to more senior abilities, and that's the only means companies will pay for it.

Let's face it, all the efficiency gains is removing all the software bloat accumulated in the last 20 years of Moore's law free lunches. Layer upon layer upon layer of abstractions…

"robust and well implemented"... ... links to a twitter comment.

Can't she legally arrange for a proxy to claim it but has to give her all the money? I'm sure someone would do it for a fee. Probably an accounting firm or law firm.

Screw airlines and their $100 fees Screw morons who push the envelope at the expense of other people And screw this society for pushing everyone to the brink of insanity
