Imagine needing a government licence to look at a screen.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, the catch-and-release of car thieves drove up costs for everyone. If I change my address away from the craziness, my policy drops by half.
The weird bit is that the UK is the inbreed/incest hot zone of Europe: "It is estimated that approximately 55% of marriages within the Pakistani community in the United Kingdom are between first cousins. This practice,…
I'm supposed to like They Might Be Giants and Talking Heads, but I just can't. Even after a Terry Gross marathon of Fresh Air.
"He shot two people in the legs and served three years in prison." Would you expect other countries to put up with people like this?
Here in Washington Statue, we hardly elect Republicans. There are several reasons, but one of them is that the Republican Party runs really weird candidates. The two people who could have gotten Donald Trump elected ran…
I lived through this, and it captures the era well. I'm trying to see through young eyes, but I can't stress how new things seemed every year during this era. Nowadays, there doesn't seem to be as much progress, just…
For me, phonics was a lifesaver. Sure, you have to learn a corpus of typically common words that don't follow the pattern, but that's ok. I went from functionally illiterate to loving language.
Wait? Are borders a thing now?
Computers are better at chess. Humans invented chess and enjoy it. I think humans have the advantage.
We've had quite a few large Samsung SATA drives fail or start to fail. 4TB and up seems especially suspicious. Not back to spinning levels of badness, but we had a 3% failure rate. Previously, two years ago, it would…
I found usage really helps you learn how to WAG (Wild Ass Guess). It also scares the crap out of me to think about what infinity is: you see your slide manipulate incredible numbers, then you imagine a slide that is…
You have to account for Ram getting swapped to disk now and then if something else needs pages.
White people and passenger planes tend to get along well. They invent them.
I learned this with new pronouns. What I think... isn't what I say.
Rebellion nowadays is living like a sterotyped 1950's family.
There will be a bot/human CAPTCHA economy trading with eachother. This will be how WW4 starts.
Don't even need quantum to worry: Satoshi's wallet could be a massive rug pull by the CIA/FBA/NSA when the time comes.
Some medicines work better or worse depending on race. Based on the scientific methodology, your statement is incorrect.
Assume good intent. If Microsoft didn't escrow the keys, the next HN post would be "mIcR0SofT Ate mY chILDhooD pHOTos!!"
It's definitely a balancing act. I have a friend with whom I try gently help him fix his spiraling life. That would let me help him if he's open to it. But for my own sanity and the health of my family, I can't make it…
