My guess is as a species it will relocate to somewhere with the right temperature zone but because coral takes so long to grow from the perspective of those of us alive the existin…

Today it’s Nue. Tomorrow it’ll be Olde and we’ll complain about all the boilerplate or repetitive update logic we now have to write.

What do you think constitutes a collapse? Can you give a modern times example of a country collapsing in a way you’re imagining the US might?

This is fantastic! I hope you can foster a truly open, high quality, light and fast operating system that draws in multiple hardware vendors each with their own take on what a watc…

The material changes shape based on the amount of humidity in the air. The article doesn’t explain how that makes it respond to sunlight, which is what their demonstration system d…

Censorship is different than learned bias.

I’ve heard this all too. My father grew up and lived in the former Yugoslavia. He’s since spoken about how well regarded Tito was and the opinion many had that he played a big hand…

Ahh Tintin. This takes me right back to the pre-internet era perusing the Tintin section at my school’s library. It was such a delight to occasionally come across one that I hadn’t…

Since the second amendment doesn’t specify what arms I have the right to bear does that mean I should be allowed to wander down to my local gun store to pick up a surface to air mi…

Teaching programming via the technologies in fashion and practical for getting a job today is flawed. Teach the fundamentals - math, logic, algorithms. But, most importantly, teach…

Yep, that’s been my experience as well. This might actually turn downtown around if it’s forced to convert more to residential. With its hills, access to green space, forests, ocea…

I run into frustrations whenever I search for anything to do with products or something popular like parenting. Results are swamped by garbage as filled SEO content some of which I…

What a huge step backwards! I have an infant and am trying to move more of my content consumption including news to Kindle vs iPhone. Even at one years old she’s already forming an…

I’ve been wondering lately how small one of the indoor inverter heads could be scaled down to. Specifically, whether it could approach the footprint of a ducted heating outlet (wit…
