Growing pains of being successful. These are solvable problems and will be. Can they maintain their momentum without pissing off too much of their customer base before these issues…

It is not an uncommon view among scholars that humidity and age caused more papyri to be lost than the burning down of the library of Alexandria did. Many of which would have survi…

Yes, AI is getting better at finding exploits and cracking software, but it will also get just as adept at defense. It will all escalate, but mostly maintain parity.

This is the case at every company I've worked at. When the CEO says jump, the response is to jump or pack your stuff. What's special about xAI/Tesla/SpaceX?

What a nightmare fueled vision of the future. It probably underestimates just how bad it will be. Well done.

Conspiracy theorists have long pointed out the obviously drilled holes in stonework that was >5000 years old. Of course they want to attribute it to lost advanced technology, but t…

Polls aren't the end all be all of truth, and can be gamed. They are not a perfect measure, by a long shot.

While Wikipedia is terribly inaccurate and heavily biased, it can be a useful starting point for information on a topic. You have to take advantage of the links to other sources on…

This is the history of the world. This day and age is nothing special in that regard.

Love Wytch Hazel, good call! I'll give your other recommendations a try. I'm not trying to say there is NO good metal being made. Of course there's Sabaton, The Sword, Lucifer, and…

Actually, the more I think about your reply, no. Modern "heavy metal" is some guy growling and yelling in the mic, unless you know of a metal singer with a great Rob Halford or Ron…

Recommend something. Show me.

You're right, I should have used country as an example. But the kind of metal I'm talking about, good 70's and maybe even a little 80's hair metal is in short supply these days. I …

Can confirm that Magna-tiles score high on replayability and are way easier to clean up than Legos. My kids are teens now, but were the right age when these came out. Lincoln Logs …

It's not like we aren't drowning in entertainment options. Food on the other hand, that's a real problem.

MacOs and iOs are going off the rails. It is clear the CEO is not providing a vision, not guiding the direction, and not assuring the quality of those products. While not as bad as…

Attached my old gaming rig to the TV to run Steam on it and it is a better experience than any consoles I have (being a gaming nerd I have everything from my old Atari 2600 and mos…

Can't retailers just price everything to the nearest $.05 to begin with so there is nothing to round? I guess tax percentages screw that up. Nevermind.

For professional graphic designers, cinematographers, photographers, and illustrators these subtleties in the screen is a big deal.

onerous and overly burdensome regulations make it nye impossible to build in this state. The environmentalists have a throttle on California. That is coupled with the wealthy not w…

All I see are assertions and no data. Am I missing something in this article?

Sure, but if they weren't done quick they wouldn't be done at all. Have some empathy for the middle class that has to carry this terrible tax burden.
