It implies that this list is the entirety of the cancelled NSF grants instead of a cherrypicked woke subset.

The cost to the content provider can be reduced to zero by the parents, by allowing it in parental controls. So the maximum cost to a provider is capped at convincing parents to di…

If the default wasn't "almost nothing" then you'd be sanctioning exposing some kids to content their parents didn't want them to see. If there's no economic incentive to tag conten…

You're already responsible for everything you would be on a private server (one user). If you go to 8chan and see illegal content then good luck telling the authorities you're not …

Some people run their own Mastodon servers, where they share and participate in social media, so there's a proof by example that your fears are unfounded.

You host your own content, and non-230 telecom rules protect a pure cache so bandwidth and always-on internet needn't be an issue. It shouldn't be baffling to you; it's not even a …

Without section 230 you'd get a few large publishing outlets moderating all content and you'd also get distributed media where the aggregation is done by each individual. There jus…

Wouldn't just good screen sharing solve your coffee table problem? Just have the coffee table iPad be a display for your own iPad. You could even have a virtual iPad on your mac th…

Wikipedia Wow! article says it is equivalent of hydrogen line plus 10 km/s blue shift. Even if this was a scanning beam I think we can assume it would take a lot of energy and so m…

A ship approaching a sun will see the objects on the far side illuminated fully, but objects on the near side will be illuminated only on a thin edge, like a crescent moon, because…

Seems reasonable that an alien craft travelling between stars might want to illuminate the whole star system to detect dark objects and plot a safe or more perfect course. Apparent…

Would this be far enough out to use the sun's gravitational lensing to image distant planets? It seems like the idea was to send a bunch of instruments way out and then take pictur…

In October when Windows 10 support ends it'll finally be the year of desktop linux.

You're thinking about energy and not cost. For example, when solar plus direct air capture can remove a ton of CO2 for cheaper than it costs a container ship not to emit that CO2 t…

The 1..125 loop stores 8000 bytes of string and they need to clear 8000 bytes. There may be a fast path for adding one character, but in any case bytes of program are a valuable re…

JSON is literally key=value, just nested. Which you can do with shell variables. The question was "What's not to like [about JSON output from cmdline tools]?" and the answer is tha…

JSON is not immediately usable by and is cumbersome to parse correctly in a shell. A simple line-based shell variable name=value format works unreasonably well. For example: # ls -…

SPDY's header compression allowed cookies to be easily leaked. This vulnerability was well known at the time so had they even asked an intern at Google Zero to look at it they woul…
