What if you have 5 homes (with 5 different ISPs)? Is each a household or are the collection of people households? What if you have friends who are basically family who more-or-less…

My first thought: How is this going to block me from Netflixing on a United flight or in a hotel? It seems problematic. Also, there are nontraditional families with multiple homes.…

Realize the marketing and support (likely none) of retail parts like these: manufacturers don't believe enterprise customers will not scream at them if some or many of them fail. T…

One of those things no one ever wants to test. What is the equivalent of Pantex in Russia? Who services them?

Waves from a perch overlooking AUS and Giga Texas. I've run into enough NVIDIA and AMD engineers at The Domain to surmise this is true. We need a funnel towards training highly-ski…

And rice produced in North America tends to concentrate arsenic. Because something is difficult doesn't mean it's okay to rationalize more of it. Marketing something as "nontoxic" …

Holistic contributing factors. The main barrier to change is a widespread attitude problem: neglect rather than translating intent into action. The average American doesn't know an…

Rotoscoping is similar. Perhaps Campbell soup shouldn't be Xerox or art either?

SCOTUS is dysfunctional: art isn't art and women don't have bodily autonomy.

Worth noting Microsoft product keys are/were tied to the channel they were sold through, and the difference being 2-3 files on install media. PS: VLK XP doesn't suffer this problem…

These sort of vendor YOLO changes are more of the domain of Microsoft's MDE. I use an Deciso OPNsense where it doesn't insist on breaking itself on the orders of corporate overlord…

American workers are the wimpiest creatures on the planet. That's why they don't have unions, tolerate horrible bosses, and have few protections.

America is built on the exploitation of undocumented workers for the food supply and of cheaper foreign labor held hostage by employers for tech. These are forms of coercion much a…

Americans don't realize how bad they have it. America is only a Good Place(tm) for the very rich while its suffering expands out in a Power law distribution. No other "rich" countr…

Amazon corporate just went to 100% in-office. People who were previously remote now have to commute or would be fired. Even if there job has nothing to do with being in an office a…

My grandfather and mom would sing this occasionally. There's a danger to society when the common case becomes a factory town. Too many risks of depending on the company store for e…

And they didn't even have to put it in the content or the chumboxes. Personally, I setup a micro VPN box of my own on AWS in other countries. I'm wondering though if they alter the…

3 truths: 1. Most Americans aren't good with money. 2. If you know someone will start bidding much too high, low-ball them first. 3. The tourist is a universally hated abomination …

In Mexico, there's a hotel scam. You can book one room only to be told it was "sold out" or "unavailable". There is a quiet "discussion" room to haggle to make other arrangements. …

Yep. Us Americans have a reputation of being rich, *sshole tourists.

"Battle-hardened" where besides tiny startups and 8 companies? Beanstalkd is simple, scales, and is platform agnostic. At scale, simple wins.

I still think the Skynet scenario is hobgoblins of the imaginative mind. More than likely, new forms of narrow AI will eat and destroy the vast majority white-collar jobs. This is …

Right observation, but wrong conclusion. Cloudflare skews towards a monopolistic monoculture. (Fastly and Akamai also exist, but present more friction.) The issue is that with one …
