I bought AppZapper years ago, and it still works. There's a free tool out there somewhere as well. Don't knock on this feature, it can be a lifesaver if you've lost the license inf…

SuperDuper! is one of those gems which I will happily pay to upgrade every release without a second thought. 1Password used to be in that list, as was Parallels before it, but they…

Neither do I. They were always a bit off then I read "The Gray Lady Winked" - NYT didn't just go downhill in the 60s, they were deeply compromised in the 30s itself with their supp…

So what. Look at the info.

Some of these symptoms are also exhibited by Nobel Prize Whiners like a certain gentleman who has been hankering for a Nobel Peace Prize.

So you don't trust NYT any more?

I don't know if Herriot was a vet in real life. If he was and suffered from depression it wouldn't surprise me. I have seen statistics which state that vets more likely to commit s…

External assistance for sure, from state actors who would never assist a VC funded startup. Your point about China is exactly the same as mine. A state determined to build somethin…

I don't need to take any liberal arts classes, all I have to do is chat with a barista at Star Bucks. None of them can even spell PDE without help from a smartphone.

How is it a poor example? State level resources - even from decrepit countries like Pakistan and NK - will ALWAYS beat VC funding or whatever.

They have the entire resources of their state available for funding. They will catch up and pass the West. Take nuclear weapons: even Pakistan and North Korea were able to catch up…

There are some RSS feeds which let you read even their paywalled content completely, without ads. I'm guessing by accident, not design.

Never met him. Have you?

STEM majors are inherently better overall. Are you trying to be sarcastic or funny? I can't tell. I've yet to find a liberal arts grad who even knows what a partial differential eq…

A STEM grad can learn history, literature etc fairly easily. The other direction is possible but not so easy.

The BRO signs: Border Roads Organisation. It's a semi-military organisation.

It's the first thing I turn off on a new iPhone or iPad. Started around ten years ago in the release which had animated app icons. Induced nausea.

He wants to restrict China from access to chips. All that will do will accelerate their development of competing, sovereign hardware. As an example take North Korea. Sanctions didn…
