.plan wars. Oh the memories!

Happy subscriber to Newsblur here too, I actually prefer it to Google Reader, primarily due to the high-quality iOS app.

I really miss the "Q&A sites" like The Conversatron from the late 90's/early 00's https://www.everything2.com/title/The+Conversatron Hours of enjoyment from a very simple concept. …

You had to upgrade to a X when a 8 or a 7 was available - or even a new battery for $80?

As long as there have been cellular phones, they have been "fashion accessories". We all joke about the business guy with the giant phone, but that was the "iPhone X" of the 80's.

When I was at they had a prototype VR research project that was shown to a few people. Never seemed to gain any traction, and I didn't hear why.

Probably because a large percentage of their customers don't actually care about expansion. I don't know - I don't have access to Apple's sales demographics, but I would be hard-pr…

Bob Lutz is almost the Steve Jobs of the auto world. At least in his own mind. :-)

Yeah, I wasn't super clear about my scenario. I have a "all skills" resume and I pare that down for each job.

That's essentially what I do. First page is all I expect the interviewer to read. My resume is 2 pages for >10 years of experience. I agressively delete unrelated skills and promot…

Some ideas I've had luck with: Have one actionable item per email. State a question in the subject. Expect a clear answer (not quite "yes/no" but something definite). Spend a short…

I'd settle for not remembering a word I type incorrectly on a tiny screen all the time (without a prompt). No "yiu" isn't a word, stop suggesting it.

I'm not dismissing it. On the contrary, I can't wait for brain-machine interfaces. I can't wait for really good self-driving cars. I'm just not as optimistic as many of my colleagu…

I believe the merging Sam is referring to here is augmenting human intelligence with non-intelligent (but better) machines. Kurzweil talks about this as well, and was one of the or…

I'd be happy if my phone's autocorrect feature would actually produce sentences with proper spelling and reasonable grammar. Apparently that's still too hard for our mighty machine…

That line was a lot lower than I imagined! Surprised that Denver is “too far north”.

I don't know your background but "taking an Excel workbook and using that as requirements to drive an implementation" is not speedy. I've done this several times in my career and i…

Every single push-button start car I've driven has the ability of "engine off, radio on". On the downside my current car (2012 Mini Cooper S - push-button start) will only play the…

Take a look at this video from Kyle.Engineers (a practicing aerodynamic engineer) YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzlp6TxqM5o

I'd take this one step further. I love cooking, but not for every meal. Some way of automating the entire calorie delivery process with the correct amount of macro/micronutrients. …

At the very least the regulations in place granting local monopolies should be immediately rolled back. If a municipal entity wants to provide broadband, any lawsuit against that s…

This is so true and something that is confused all the time by “free speech advocates”. It’s quite frustrating actually. I’m not happy about the amplification of speech that social…

I don't see why it's not an endorsement. Money changed hands. The content of reddit's many forums is well known. No one is blind to this. "I didn't give the killer money for a knif…

It's fairly easy to do this in Entity Framework. Obviously if you have a giant query it's going to make some "optimizations" that you don't like but if you have a good understandin…
