Maybe it has something to do with all our politicians being older than my parents... who can barely figure out email.

The thing is, the burden of proof shouldn't be on the victim to prove that the loan was fraudulent. The bank should have to prove that it was valid otherwise it's automatically rul…

Companies don't have guns and prisons. Invading your privacy is a little different than being shot or thrown in jail.

Flipping burgers every day for the rest of your life is a sad waste of human potential. We as a society can do better. This robot is one step, other steps are involved like Univers…

The problem is under employment, not unemployment. People work but can't get enough money from their work—even when they are working 2-3 jobs to try to support their family.

Also the principal way they remove competition.

Apple hears ya, Apple don't care.

The problem is, our society right now only pays for "physical stuff". Hardware and services that are made and performed by people (who are usually in poverty). However, think of al…

Except they wouldn't be able to detect people wearing masks, which is probably an important thing for a security camera to do...

It's really funny if you leave that tab and then come back. Probably some wackiness with Chrome's new disabling of background CPU usage.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I composed this same piece like 30 years ago. Edit: the real art is being able to get published in the NY Times with this boring music.

Is there any systems out there that would let me program on a ZISC, today?

> Once they manage to establish a monopoly you will be flat out of other options Oh, you mean like the taxi companies? Regulated to the point of no competition?

Come on, there's no way you can say taxis are superior to a frickin button that you press to instantly get a car. Even if the prices were the same, I'm pretty sure most people woul…

You don't really have a say in the US, at least. Laws pass 30% of the time, whether the voters love it or hate it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig

The process doesn't work as well as you think it does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig

Exactly the point: the law has ceased to serve the people and has become irrelevant. It's on the government to change it in order for society to progress, not hold us back. Remembe…

If only we lived in an actual democracy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig

Let's also acknowledge that it's not just Uber the company skirting the law, it's also the millions of people who use their service. The people have spoken with their dollars inste…

Laws take years, even decades to change. We'd never have any progress if every technological advancement had to wait for the law to catch up and regulate it.

You don't need to travel far to encounter racism in the U.S. Hell, I live in Silicon Valley and I see racism every day. My black friends get pulled over all the time for "driving w…

aka treason and the death penalty

My HTC One M8 lets me choose between mounting as a drive, MTP, or just charging. Maybe that's a general Marshmallow feature but it's great.
