The whole story as presented in the article and comments here is a bit misleading. None of these buildings were "abandoned", at least not in any practical sense. The buildings documented here were old (from the 70s I…
I suppose it depends on how you define "downfall", but Motorola stock this year is at an all-time high, even higher than its peak during late 90s during the run up to the dot-com boom and when Motorola cellphones were…
They appear to be using Pfizer in at least some locations in Illinois, FWIW.
I've played with Jami several times because it sounds good on paper but it just flat out failed to work a lot of the time. Messages sent but never received, no indication of why or what was going on. For my uses anyway,…
Two sentences after the part you quoted it says a belt was around his neck. Later on it mentions that he hung himself from the doorknob.

Now calculate how big of a data pipe you need to AWS to upload 400 terabytes of video each day and how much does that cost?

Cameras now are starting to include technology where the camera is automatically activated as soon as the officer draws their weapon.

"This guy" was recently named to Biden's Coronavirus Task Force, FYI. The average age of COVID19 deaths is in the 80s. It will be interesting to see how he applies his views on old age in that role.
Believe it or not, I have no interest in living in the bay area - even if the costs were the same. I personally would like somewhere that didn't get quite so cold in the winter but still has 4 seasons. I can honestly…
Software developers simply do not get offered pay anything close to SV wages pretty much anywhere else in the US (maybe NYC? not sure on that one) - as far as I can tell. It's not really in dispute that SV software…
My point is there is no such thing as a "$500K engineer" anywhere but SV (and maybe Seattle), and thus no such market exists elsewhere. Honestly even writing "$500K engineer" sounds so absurd to me because it's so far…

Maybe this is overly simplistic, but won't this all work itself out over time? More companies refuse to pay inflated SV salaries (note: most companies in the world already do not employ people there anyway), so some of…
What's happening in Illinois seems to be like a smaller version of what happened in the US. The northern part of the state near Chicago got hit early on in March-May, and that has quieted down a lot. Now the downstate…
The built-in generator options don't output any more power than a generator that you can buy at any home improvement store for several hundred dollars. Sure, having it integrated into the vehicle might be a nice…
