When I learned to program (before 9/11) there was a big emphasis on assembly language and using low level interfaces to communicate with other hardware. The idea was that everyone …

The data is wrong for at least five or six cases near me, the county seems to be missing or just wrong. Why present a splashy tool like this if it just has bad data? This is irresp…

Yes, after we eliminate all the trucking jobs in the county which are one of the last remaining decent jobs for unprivileged people, then the robberies will really take off. Better…

The libertarian tech monoculture is the problem, not the solution. If you knew the history of the industry or Kansas over the past 30 years you'd realize you're exactly backwards. …

Calling it a "victimless grift" as this writer does is just naive and silly. The thousands of people who got laid off while Adam got billions in golden parachute funds is the very …

Everyone is getting tired of the bullshit industrial complex that so many companies seem to tread in. If you have zero plans for profitability, zero plans for sustainability, zero …

Ambitious or half-assed? You'd have to know literally nothing about gaming to call Stadia ambitious.

Yeah it's funny how he was the only corrupt CEO in all of corporate America during that time. So weird how nobody else besides him and Martha Stewart ever got prosecuted for inside…

It's kind of hilarious that they still spend money on the PR team to push these stories about how important and sanctimonious cash is while at the same time printing billions of do…

Yeah this piece really hit the peak of "lie to everybody and just keep pushing forward on bullshit" startup sentiment that was really big 10 years. It was a really dark time, we're…

It seems like Boeing (and the FAA and the industry more broadly) have been hiding behind the veil of the "zero commercial accidents" streak for however long that was happening whil…

It boggles my mind how terrible the web is becoming on lower end connections. I have about 200ms of delay to most servers and about 5Mbit of bandwidth, and many major web pages tak…

The news here is that all telecom equipment is required to have back doors built into them, the "crime" is the manufacturer sometimes using this too. I don't know if this is hugely…

It really seems like this might be the start of the collapse of an incompetent monopoly. Lots of new business opportunities here, this is a rare event.

It's a bit surreal having multiple trillion dollar companies all of a sudden. Meanwhile, the tent city that used to just be under the bridge near downtown keeps spreading, it's up …
