Hijacking for another Dune-themed game: anyone successfully played Emperor: Battle for Dune on Windows > 10? Easily one of my favorite RTS's all time, but not as nostalgic as Dune …

>$3M or $500K Alternatively, renting or staying in a hotel/resort is _significantly_ cheaper than $500k, even amortized over 10 years. TBD how much you can sell your timeshare back…

- Richard Feynman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (S.B. 1939), Princeton University (Ph.D. 1942) Agreed that credentials aren't required for a pass to the genius club, but I…

I'm curious if you actually think there's a real equivalency between choosing to eccentrically live in a van despite having more socially acceptable alternative options enabled by …

Second the option to reset, but there is an "private session" mode in the nav menu that seems to not track your listens the same way. Netflix and the video streaming services are t…

They're nuts.

Ah yes, the quantum DOM.

I loved Scoot when I was in SF. Except after it rained. Some Bezos-bald tires on those things.

You're all over the comments on this article dumping on Tesla's quality, but evidence seems to be anecdotal (in the form of comments on a forum for this article). Also last time I …

To me, at least, there's a difference between information I willingly, if unwittingly share on a social network vs having the government unwittingly and unwillingly collect informa…

Yah. We should make regulation for this kind of behavior.

> The difference between reading and managing servers is childhood. That analogy is crap. Is the difference between reading and launching people into space childhood, too? We don't…

Not to be overly melodramatic and totally dodging the contents of the article, but aren't we already in a social dystopia? Is there any way of qualifying "how dystopic" a society i…

I wonder how hard it would be to convince folks to drop their expensive setups in favor of nearly $0 static sites, as well as how much up front cost they'd be willing to shovel out…

Glad someone beat me to it. Teaching kids to code is similar to teaching just about anything else: get them to have fun and find how it applies to them, followed by how to figure o…

Fun fact: that 600k studio apartment might seem outrageous now, but in 30 years at 6.6% it'll be $4,345,645, and your grandkids will get a nice $16,267,583 500sqft place to hang th…

This comment is pretty funny juxtaposed with the one above regarding heavy copy in advertising.

I think that's pretty clever. Spent 15 min talking about it with coworkers today though, and IMO the challenge with something like this is identifying and specifically addressing t…

I've been thinking about 2 as a potential path forward for journalists/journalism. Is there a reason to continue the monolithic paper over directly funding individual journalists? …

Does anyone know if H1B's are exempt from California's Labor Codes? Looks like there's quite a few that fall short of 2017's required $88k[1]. 1 https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandto…

Why not both? Feels like only doing one is like only putting airbags in cars when seat belts are also effective. I don't get why there has to be only one approach to solve societal…

Not OP, but here's some unsolicited thoughts. While it's true that criminals, by definition, will break the law, all laws are not treated equally by individuals. Millions of people…

I'm more afraid of the 10TB/s self driving car DDoS.

To be honest, TodoMVC is the idea-that-needs-to-die™ for SPAs. IMO, if all the framework needs to be able to do is described by TodoMVC, you probably don't need a framework at all.…
