I have heard in person, multi millionaires joking about shooting people in the back of the head within the company open office and during business negotiations.

AMD keeping the same standard TDPs at 105W and 65W was such a good design decision. Clear contrast to Samsung's oft-criticized MLC to TLC move with their 980 Pro. People care about…

The cost of a product is not only replacement price but also replacement time. Replacing with an alternative is more cost than an identical. High-quality long-life products have ex…

Thought experiment. Suppose 10K people have the technology and willingness to volunteer enough worktime to provide the essentials for all of the US. Some basic income program is im…

Junk info removed, mediocre info replaced, tags avoided, logically indexed, curation anti-gaming power-tiered, simplicity focused. I like the principles a lot. I assume that "using…
