Related, I've seen many business leaders overuse sports analogies in talk. (I don't really follow sports that much.) The message ends up being very white male cis, and not inclusiv…

If Apple and Samsung's products were quality and durable, this probably wouldn't be an issue. But instead they're being greedy with undue markup and making cheep accessories. This …

If you can't whistle, there's a way to use an acorn or a bottle cap to do so. I can whistle, but not that loud, and often use a bottle cap to whistle loudly at venues. https://yout…

Some broods are very localized and small. I believe Brood X is going to be a large brood for many areas East of the Mississippi. 2024 may be a bonkers year for SE Missouri/NW Kentu…

So 13,000 at the bottom of the ocean is a good start?

Thank you. I came here to call out this. I will say that implementing a phone is not easy. Just look at the issues Palm and Blackberry have had to stay relevant. Nokia did for a wh…

I've had courses and classes which make sure that the students have everything installed that they need. And sometimes they also provide some sort of web interface to enter code. O…

I'm in the same boat. I discovered his channel about this time. Liked some of the in depth interviews. But then it quickly went weirdly political.

That's one heck of a dark pattern.

Sounds like an interesting course. I love Ian Banks and Peter F Hamilton books. I'll throw Alaister Reynold's Revelation Space series into the mix, though he has few if any future …

Great article. The Steve Jackson raid is the stuff of legend, and confusion. This article definitely clears up the fog of war regarding the ordeal.

> Stonecipher seems to have agreed with this assessment. “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so it’s run like a business rather than a great engi…

I know of a few places in Kansas City that have under sidewalk vaults. In some of those places they have warning signs about not parking. Here's one. https://bit.ly/36qPLvy

If that's the case, maybe donate to the EFF.

Ha! I was just thinking of the house in the JoCo Museum. (I live in the KC metro too.)

I recently had to stop using Hangouts, having to change to messages.google.com. I liked the Hangouts web UI better. There's some unfriendliness to Messages. I understand Google wan…

Microsoft Bob (1995-1996), R.I.P.

Allowing ourselves to fail (and learn and have fun) is a powerful thing. I discovered this a few years back playing a (new to me) board game with friends. I didn't know it well eno…

I'm reminded of the Watchmen comic book, with its ubiquitous recharging "plugs" on the streets. The future is here, just not evenly distributed.

It's true, media and cinema have changed. Though it's through him and other directors of his generation (Lucas, Spielberg, Coppalla), the "Movie Brats" that helped change it. The o…

The rise of Craigslist is one factor. But I'm surprised that nobody is talking about local advertisers vs national. National business and websites are more likely to advertise on a…

I guess I'm an aberration. I'm 40+ and I'm an introvert; and I've made at least six good, new friends in the last three years. I will say that all but one of those new friends can …

The average human brain is 1450 cubic centimeters. With a resolution of 0.1 millimeters, that's 100 * 100 * 100 data points in a cubic centimeter. For approximately 1.45 billion da…

I'm glad somebody said this. I totally agree. I still use the Picasa desktop software. It's brilliant for picking out best pics and tweaking them. The web interface just doesn't co…
