Timeless tactic! "The Power Mac G4 is so fast that it is classified as a supercomputer by the US government, and we are prohibited from exporting it to over 50 nations worldwide," …

Would love a gluten-free / dietary restriction filter, or at least a filter where gluten/wheat is not an ingredient (separate from cross-contamination). Unfortunately, cheap-ish fo…

Beat Saber was the reason I bought a Quest 2. Now I actually find Synthriders to be a lot more fun. In Synth, if one person has purchased a song/map, everyone can play and players …

It sold for $8.5 million... ..."The auction was for the building itself, not the land. That is owned by a publicly traded real estate firm, which collects a monthly lease. But the …

When my AirPods actually stay in my ears, I'll worry.

As kids, we were usually in the back of a Ford pickup on I-95 bouncing around in a sea empty beer cans. My mom was very safety conscious, however, so we were forbidden from sitting…

I use this Menubar short cut for Passwords, so it's only 2 clicks and fingerprint away. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/22133925f3e34579b22951d6593...

And we'll institute aggressive countermeasures and discover that millions of real people can no longer pass a Turing test.

The problem with ubiquitous apps (or almost anything) having "personality" is that a large number of users may not like that particular "personality" and, from a UX standpoint, it …

I keep thinking of a service that sends famously long books in short chunks. "Infinite Text" or "War 'n Pieces"

How is it different from https://pinboard.in (besides $1/ mo)?

If your favorite song is by Pearl Jam you get an extra layer of security: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLd22ha_-VU

Does the buyer need to setup an account? How does this service prevent the actual (free) URL of the content from being visible / shared after a user pays? It seems like this would …

Isn't this idea basically FriendFeed (which Facebook bought to kill)? I've always wondered why nobody has simply recreated it.

I knew this was true for nuclear weapons. It was just surprising that a smaller asteroid could be that much more dangerous than a larger one due to potentially exploding in the atm…

I'm confused. A 100 ft asteroid that explodes 2.2 miles in the air seems to result in far more deaths from a 0.6 mile wide fireball compared to a 200ft asteroid that would hit the …

Empty Ink Cartridge has Better Medical Access Than Most Americans

I'm still surprised that Google didn't just clone or buy Twitter in the 2009 "Fail Whale" era. Seems like they had 95% of the work done already: a highly-scalabile real-time infras…

Deep Space 9 was also shot on film. The editing, effects, and mastering were completed on video (same for TNG). This is true for nearly every 1-hour US prime-time drama of that era…
