The guy who developed this goes by the moniker geohot. He was the first person to ever jailbreak an iPhone, as a teenager. He then went on to do the same for the PS3. This guy is i…

They’re probably trying to figure out a workaround.

I’m not coding because I’m busy searching code snippets on StackOverflow to string together something that just works . I’m not here to write the most optimal solution in the curre…

Certainly the same technology that identifies the music can be used to cancel it out? An ML song identifier, coupled with destructive interference acoustic noise cancellation, coul…

Exactly! I don’t have an issue with the Common Core material, but the methods are how you described—bizarre.

Mostly the mathematical methods that I’ve seen mandated by common core, such as area model multiplication and decomposition addition. I think it’s completely confusing kids, slowin…

Check out Khan Academy—it is an exceptional way to learn math. Far better than that Common Core nonsense.

This is generally how the evolution of technology works. If somebody whipped out a 3½ inch floppy, wouldn’t you say “that’s the old way of doing things?”

+1 for Matrix. Signal is a honeypot.

I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, so I don't know why you're conflating my devil's advocate argument with those philosophies. > A mouse’s interests are not on par with the interests o…

Crypto is a great utility in this respect, when physical commodities and fiats are severely regulated or vulnerable to seizure in times of strife. But when using crypto, you are fu…

This resonates with me. It deeply disturbs me that other animals still don’t have rights on parity with humans. I can play devil’s advocate and make the ethical argument that anima…

Thanks. It’s understandable that it’s radical so I put a little note that I’m not offering medical advice.

Yeah. Admittedly, I was frustrated with having to rely on $1000+ a month prescriptions to treat my symptoms rather than the underlying cause. My venture into researching the human …

Edit: Not medical advice. Cancer is largely a failure of the immune system, and it is well known that nearly 70% of the immune system lives in the digestive tract. Sometimes the mi…

I’m betting hard against a big corporation like SpaceX to do the right thing. By nature, a corporation’s sole purpose is to follow the money and make as much of it as possible. Tak…

Yes, eliminate cookies entirely. Let companies revert to relying on consumer feedback and word of mouth praise rather than cyberstalking.

When you have anxiety and there’s a “reason” for it, it’s not actually anxiety. This is called stress, since you know that the underlying cause is work. It’s an important distincti…

Reminds me of people who are staunchly anti-systemd. They are luddite masochists who prefer shit that is inconvenient or broken for the sake of being a contrarian hipster.
