Do you really think they didn’t try doing this without this guy before deciding it would be easier just to hire him?

Galloway and Swisher pegged Clubhouse correctly months ago on their podcast, saying it’s a feature not a platform. All the actual platforms are just cloning it.

I know people that leave the house without their phone and ID on them, but I’m not one of them. Also, the annoyance of having to produce my ID is so trivial in comparison to the meth crisis. If this h…

I have a Wikipedia blog. Been doing it for over a decade. I post articles I find interesting, categorize and tag them, do some light copyediting, find/create a 300x300 pixel image to illustrate e…

What’s confusing? Bubbles abound. 20 year old pickup trucks with six figures on the odometer are selling for $20k. Pokémon cards are going for millions. Houses are being bought above asking price, sig…

If you have over $2m, the argument that U.S. taxation is extortion is even less convincing. Such people have the means to hire lawyers and grease the wheels to emigrate to a wide swath of countries. T…

Not if you give up your citizenship. After all, why would you want to be a part of country if you think it's extorting and stealing from you?

Extortion and theft implies you didn't voluntarily accept to be taxed and that you aren't getting anything in return. Don't want to pay high American taxes and enjoy our roads and such?…

I know, but surely they had to consider the possibility. There’s no mention of it in this article or the car’s Wikipedia article.

How did they plan on preventing core exposure in the event of a high speed collision?

HN: No new hardware other than the screen? What a let down. Everyone Else: Where do I preorder?

Those StarTacs are still such great looking devices. I had one of the later digital ones. It was comfortable to use and carry, and you always felt cool snapping it shut after a call.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexpl…

I’m a believer in technological determinism (from wiki), a “...theory that assumes that a society's technology determines the development of its social structure and cultural values.” I also beli…

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure they don’t publicize the use of tech that they pilfered.

Not to downplay their success too much, but doing those things in the 2020s, while still expensive and difficult, is not nearly as expensive and difficult as doing them in the 1990s. And given their p…

This is my problem. I very badly want to build some of these (particularly the Saturn V and some of those huge Technic supercar models), but I really don't need another tchotchke collecting dust …

My local supermarket (Shoprite) charges just $5 to order online and pick it up yourself. The only issue, which is better now, was that during the height of the pandemic you had to book your pickup tim…

Have you tried it? Prices have shot up, but back in the day, you could get a whole small house with a kitchen, laundry room, and multiple bedrooms, nicely appointed and clean for less than a three or …

> I don't really understand why there really aren't any reputable companies in the Android e-ink tablet space, and I also don't understand why Google themselves seem to have absolute…

> People are not satisfied with the existing solutions, thus the need for innovation. IMHO, that describes maybe a tenth (maybe) of crypto buyers. Everyone else is just speculating on volatile new …

I hate the new version. If they ever kill old.Reddit.com I will be very unhappy.

Seriously. Everyone spies on everyone else and everyone feigns surprise when their spying is uncovered. That's how the game is played and it's always been that way.

Live by the sword...

I still use alcohol to deal with too many people around.

The airlines making those decisions have no incentive (or likely desire) to punish Belarus or engage in international politics. They just don't want their planes diverted by MiGs.

So common it would blow the average patient’s mind. The mechanism of action for Tylenol is still not entirely understood.
