Next level: do this but as a woman and try not to get harassed

I'd assume it's not so much the peaks that are a challenge - most of these 10k tweets/second aren't critical to serve to anyone fast, and that scales horizontally- it's the hot spo…

A motivation seems to be performance (avoiding useless multiplications followed by divisions by the same factor). I'm not sure that you really "pay" for these multiplications, with…

It's also really not the outcome wanted by regulators. Everyone losing access to their email and information, YouTube, etc would create absolute chaos. Antitrust's job is to rein i…

Exactly. Storytelling format follows the dollars which follows consumer habits. Right now all the dollar is in content made-for-Netflix and franchise movies because most people jus…

I don't think OP is framing it in terms of quality. Just a different style of filmmaking. A change. Whether the change is for the better - different story!

Maybe? Good luck charging one of those in an apartment building

> Most people are capable of riding a bike - especially an e-bike - to get to where they're going. Citation needed? If I think of my own family, the ones without kids in their teen…

This sounds like a content acquisition strategy. YouTube's embedded player isn't very good for the average branded website, as it shows a bunch of "related videos" and links that u…

Not only difficult, but prone to being sliced when using a paper opener. Paper folded in four should be placed in the envelope with the fold at the bottom so that it doesn't get cu…

They didn't start from scratch, for sure. But it has been copy and improve , not just let's make cheap copies lagging behind the original.

I don't think so. It's a little too convenient for the West to think this way, so there's a duty of skepticism. I think you can look at military stuff (fighter jets, spacecrafts, a…

I'm not so sure. Doesn't seem to be hurting them much.

I say "catch up" as in, covering the gap with where the US is by then. China has caught up in other fields already.

I think it's more nuanced. Left to develop it on their own, they might not succeed with a catch up effort in 5 years. Or 10. But in 20 years probably. 30 years certainly.

Hence Foxconn building up in Vietnam. I guess if I were a manufacturing company the whole ASEAN region would start to look a lot more attractive. A lot of the China-based mfrs are …

Bombing TSMC facilities would be extremely counterproductive to the CCP objectives.

I don't think China will destroy the very thing they're trying to capture.

The last website I saw with a perfect mouse cursor: https://thekebabshop.com/ . See if you can resist slicing the logo with that big knife.

Is that surprising given that there are approx 2 or 3 orders of magnitude difference between the popularity of these platforms? 4chan is and has always been fringe even within its …

Do you really think it's how ad networks figure out someone's marketable interests? Based on their draft email/chat messages? You obviously haven't tried doing something like this,…

Bad metric, bad methodology, survivor bias... I'm still expecting a kick-ass open source video editor or digital audio workstation any day now...

Once, someone pointed out to me that we spend a large amount of time with our feet in shoes and our hands on a keyboard, but somehow a closet full of shoes is more readily accepted…

How does the radio link budget work from the cell phone to the satellite? (I understand downlink can work with powerful tx at the satellite end but most cell phones transmitters ar…
