Heck, anyone offering insider advice or education in many professions and trades should be worried: medicine, nursing, legal, engineering, aviation, maintenance (automotive, aviati…

Corporate, ad-supported platforms are inherently prone to arbitrary censorship... they always have been and always will be. If you want freedom, viewer/donation-supported distribut…

Don't let that go or you're condoning dishonesty.

This title needs editing. It has nothing to do with gravity.

Could this encode additional classical bits (optical transceivers) and/or qubits (single-photon quantum key-distribution protocol)?

Rush to provisionally-patent what may or may not exist. Monetize the little green Martians' tech even before meeting them. Good thinking. Even if it doesn't exist, it's still bette…

I know which is worse: it's not 737 NG's Ducommun's substandard critical structural parts, underpaid subcontractor software engineers in India or Boeing monetizing safety as option…

Tinfoil attention seeker or big claims/flimsy evidence pleader. There's also a lot of lonely, sad people who say the FBI's watching them and have a file on them... delusions of gra…

Paul Beckwith did a video about Iran and other areas where temperatures exceeded survivable wet-bulb levels. There is an upper-limit based on thermodynamics. https://kevinhesterdot…

Spain and the south of France will be bad. And, Spain is already desertifying like crazy and climate models show it's screwed long-term. I would expect climate refugees leaving the…

Chips are different because it costs more to reverse/reengineer them, but once engineered (or copied) for manufacturing, it's trivial to make more. Software and physical design is …

Apple and Samsung already exploit slave labor indirectly throughout the entire supply chain from sulphur mining, rare earth elements mining in the ocean and final assembly. Dependi…

"Regulations" is a terrible word conflating and FUDing necessary protections with unfair restrictions. Deranged, all-or-nothing libertarians mindlessly cargo-cult refrain "regulati…

Remember that stable democracies always have the potential become authoritarian dictatorships. History is littered with examples: France, Germany, Japan, Chile, Turkey and to a les…

They will have to pull encryption from my cold, dead hands. And I'll strongly consider making a 80% lower legally-unregistered gun if things get any more insane, because stuff is g…

Yes. Exactly. I waited for a hour for it to stream to Youtube to skip their bombastic nonsense and Creepy Corporate Joe. They should've tested them down to 8 at the beginning to ho…

Yeap. The two part debates had a few great candidates weighed down and split with aspirational and corporate candidates. And the moderators were horrible, neoliberal corporate hack…

Evernote stumbled and failed to execute so many times. The got hacked, had a clunky/yucky UI forever and lost people's notes. Plus, like a meal kit service or taxi app, they didn't…

That would help anonymous discussions on non-work platforms offsite or on personal devices.

Yes, this. I'm surprised they're not labeled as scary "socialism" and replaced with public-private "partnerships" with commercial ads, membership fees and overpriced concessions. I…

RPN FTW. Good ol' LISP. :) In Haskell, you can turn any function into an infix operator with backquotes. As a qualitative, nonfunctional stylistic, ergonomic opinion, I find Haskel…

R, SAS, Octave, Mathematica, MATLAB, Excel (lol), FORTRAN and many more come to mind. Julia seems more like flavor of the month. As an example, I know of a Monte Carlo nuclear reac…

Everyone should watch the Louis Rossmann channel before lionizing, much less even saying anything good about modern MBP's they don't seem to understand what's been lost and what su…

IDEO competitor? Why not just drop into a VP or C-role of such a firm than build such a company completely from nothing?

Assange on one side and Sackler family on the other. Eventually, the people rise up and separate the heads from the bodies of the Marie Antoinettes.
