I'm sure there are those who would participate, either because they want their data to be captured by AI labs or as a form of compromise. That said, the approach is flawed. It looks like the people doing the scraping…
It probably depends upon where you're looking. I never go to the front page, or even mildly popular subreddits for that matter. Ignoring the bot used for moderation, I would be surprised if 1% of the traffic on the…
Building codes that address this are wonderful, however: - Plenty of people live or work in older buildings, where are not up to standard. For example: my office probably violates the air quality sensibilities of the…
To be fair: this was a parent stepping up to offer the students something unique. Doing so with children is easier than it is with teenagers, but I think that has more to do with the values we instill than it does with…

Both. A person who places the interests of others above their own and lacks ambition is unlikely to achieve wealth in their life. Yet that doesn't mean a wealthy person has limitless ambition, nor does a willingness to…

We need to be careful with our comparisons here. Even though the Disk ][ was significantly faster than the 4040, the 4040 was significantly faster than the 1541. Apparently the difference was largely due to a bug in the…
The trouble with that is you cannot operate a business where you pay your suppliers for a product then give everything away. I am saying that as a reflection of reality, not to absolve Sony. Someone at Sony must have…

I'm sorta in the same boat there. There are plenty of people willing to give their work away, sell it DRM free, or sell it at a lower cost (offsetting the fact it is licensed). Plus you have things like libraries and…

The thing is, those dealers can end up in jail for selling drugs. More to the point, if a kid walked into a convenience store and the clerk sold them a pack of cigarettes, the clerk wouldn't get off the hook by…
Every time I see something interesting about nuclear power, comments like this pop up. Which makes me skittish. We need responsible growth. We need to acknowledge that there is no magic bullet for power generation, just…

If it is a formal policy of the store, then it's a different story. They could also manage it in a way to minimize costs. That said, I have run into people who are proud of "discovering" the lifehack version.

While I understand some people think this is clever, all it does is increase costs for businesses which ends up increasing costs for honest consumers. Worse yet: it tends to increase the cost for local businesses, or at…

The article seems to be fairly clear about this: it is Google focusing on Google phones (so unlocking the bootloader should not be an issue) and they did mention that the kernel would have to be replaced (albeit for…
Manned missions would still have constraints. In some cases, they would be far greater (e.g. due to the necessity of keeping the astronauts alive). Where there are fewer constraints, it would be intertwined with the…
Different people are going to have different experiences, based on what they had and what they used it for. If you've ever used a 68000 based Macintosh, you were limited to 4 MB RAM and 1 MB seems to have been more…
