    Prepare your downvotes. Occult books tell that we have all means to nearly stop aging with today's tech and the key is in extracting and using the essence of oxygen; that air at th…

    Even simpler: Stadia is the remote desktop rebranded. Want to run your own Stadia? Buy a bunch of VMs on some cloud hosting provider: a few for the game server engine and one per u…

    Don't forget to be insanely smart. Otherwise programming skills won't help.

    Well, you don't really "own" capital, you've "just" earned an authorization to spend some amount per year. It's like a debit card thats auto refilled every year. In the meantime "y…

    What do you mean? Why wouldn't an HR sue his own employer? Because binding arbitration and the employer will make sure to destroy the reputation of that HR.

    Surveillance capitalism to the USA is like heroin to an addict: he thinks he can give up at any time, that he can manage the addiction and find the balance, until he realises that …

    No need to disclose anything: plausible deniability is enough. And "bias" can be fixed by ad-hoc quotas.

    It's the same thing. There were posers and those with practical knowledge. Today it's almost entirely clueless posers.

    My opinion is irrelevant here. I'm not giving orders to suspend or resume the economy.

    They probably know that visible effects of global warming won't manifest themselves until a century later: enough time for them and their kids. They don't care about their hypothet…

    If this was indeed such a problem, the world would be on a strict lockdown for next few years. It isn't happening because the expected global warming is too far in the future: too …

    I think these minivans is a rational and smart move (amoral, but that's another story). The protest is snowballing and there's not enough police-like forces that blindly support th…

    This is what audit records are for. Unless you expect the bad guys to respect your schedule, you won't be around to see the LED light.
