Meh, if Mark Zuckerberg has only that one, same, tired sideways quote dragged out and tossed around every time criticism is leveled against him, then Christ almighty if he isn't sq…

Hmmm, so a there's a broad suspicion that endocrine disruption is a widespread problem, and suddenly we see a dubious article provoking confusion, and possibly a lot of very costly…

This makes me want less software control in my vehicle. Ideally none.

Yes, that's the idea. Force specialization in the attack sphere, reduce the attacker population with prerequisite knowledge as an entry barrier, simultaneously shrinking the target…

The only way true isolation will emerge, is by regulatory mandate of a purpose defined hardware implementation, with a separate protocol, different datagrams (instead of TCP/IP/UDP…

Put another way, there doesn’t seem to be any apparent correlation between effort and success.

Much ado about nothing. You could say a waste of time is worth a waste of time. I don’t think there’s anything to fix here, when the real problem is adults with the power to vote, …

Yeah, one terabyte is simply an absolutely gigantic octal value, with a trillion place settings. Perfect for storing a quantity of high resolution “unique numbers” which you might …

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have some really limited applications. There are maybe 5 or 6 silver bullet consumer ideas I can think of, but they’re such prohibitively expe…

I don’t think you should feel bad about it. The New York Times should be held to a high standard.

Feature phones that run android will lack an accelerometer, might lack a camera, but any phone without a microphone would certainly be strange. Nonetheless, there's nothing prevent…

Also, consider the ecological effects. It may be wiser to coalesce material and fabricate structures as satellites than to import them onto the surface of Earth.

Expiration after installation makes sense from the perspective of planned obsolescence, and in anticipation of long-term-support sunsets. It makes absolutely no sense to the end us…

A discount, in my mind isn’t quite the same as a rebate, even if the net result is the same. A rebate usually requires the full retail price to be paid up front, with the cost savi…

Beside the fact that you should be concerned about whether the controlling company goes out of business, or sells your data, here stands yet another reason to never trust devices t…

Wow, you know, I never really thought about it, but this highlights the political premise that all postmortems are only expressions of either extreme shame or heroism, and perhaps …

Meanwhile the article links to https://www.igkt.net , which I'm sure, must have some members interested in topology, as applicable to knot tying.

I think it's about force and hardness, contrasted against elastic and inelastic collisions. Either that, or maybe the caustic qualities have something to do with it? I'm not sure o…

They also negotiate a rebate. Uh, right. How does that part work, precisely?
