These are vague and strawman criticisms that deny reality and that DNS can't solve everything itself. Who owns which domain will always be centralized if only one group or individu…

There's no solving infrequent social problems with technology, only socio-politically. I'm sure it does happen to a few people, but it sounds extremely rare. At least a mail-in bal…

Voting by mobile is extremely problematic and shocking. 1. No paper record. 2. No privacy. A better way would be to use anonymous physical RFID pebbles that are placed in a contain…

Crybullies just want to control, harass and abuse people. Other people give them power when they don't tell them to "just fuck off." Don't give them power and don't let them into p…

Although true, Western meat agriculture isn't similar but different: zillions of animals, stacked one on the other and humans going in to clean up after them getting all that waste…

I've seen panic buying of face masks in Palo Alto and San Jose, mostly by people who appear of Chinese ancestry. I was doubtful on its efficacy, but it appears there is some benefi…

The devil will never expect it and beg God to get rid of this ruffian, troublemaker layabout.

Upsides to renting + often all-in/TCO cheaper than owning + less liabilities if/when expensive items break; landlord is in-charge of must repairs and expenses + easier to move Upsi…

Do you have ALDI Nord or Aldi there?

Giving them false information maybe an option.. or even "unintentional" misspellings, off-by-one phone numbers, disposable email addresses and vacant lots. IANAL: Btw, has anyone a…

It depends where you are, but a lot of people are struggling more because the very rich are using automation to eliminate jobs, take the extra money made for themselves and more ea…

Scrounging around for simulators or wondering how close it is to the real thing is moot because the 737 MAX is dead. The CEO is gone and there are more and more safety "glitches" b…

If this pans out to be true, it wouldn't be a shock given that they went along with PRISM. If you want e2e privacy, use Signal. You don't use Skype, Apple Messaging/Facetime (maybe…

The two best tricks I've found: 0) Getting antidepressants because you won't want to do anything much when you're depressed. 1) Getting meds if you have ADD because you will always…

There should be a recycle redemption tax on memes so there's an economy to pickup outdated, displaced and discarded memes for their return value.

"GATTACA II: The Revenge of The Robots" Hello human, please submit blood sample, hair sample and credit history into the data port at one of the kiosks to the front in an orderly f…

It's not UC Davis or Europe. Btw, if living near the main centroid of Davis, it's faster to bike than it is to drive or take a bus because parking + walking takes time. I even had …

I have a 3 year old pair of QC 35 (I), and actually prefer the ANC sensation and lack of city noises. I really do prefer this model from the dozens I tried precisely because their …

There are risks almost everywhere. I remember seeing a combined risks map that showed there was really only a small patch in the southwest devoid of all types of regional major dis…

Think carefully and lock-it down (not as an afterthought), because unsecured IoT can be exploited to cause devastating harm. Phoning home should be disclosed and disable-able becau…

Paging BigCliveDotCom It's time for another Amazon hotdogger / deathdapter / waffle-smasher tear-down and circuit diagram. http://bigclive.com EDIT: I bet it's from return stock wh…

Forking if it's mature and featured enough to justify it, but it maybe too unsafe broken to invest in rewriting large swaths of code. That's the perpetual trade-off of engineering …

Noice. To me, Gotham makes more sense because it depends on stable, whereas Rocket uses nightly. Anything depending on nightly seems inherently more fragile and un-future-proof (no…

There's a tendency for masses of people to eagerly follow strongly-opinionated people. I think such qualities are a big warning sign, especially if they're dramatic, engage in all-…
