No, it's not a joke. When I see an article like this, I first think about the horrible lives lost in all of these wars. Many of them wonderful people who want to live their own lives. But I also think of unofficial…
Especially if medical prescriptions for it aren't necessary. Confounding migraines for weed prescriptions and very real stroke risk and a desire for low THC marijuana isn't going to be a happy show I want to go through…
I grew up around Carl Sagan. My Dad and his brother were engineers, materials science and aerospace respectively. The Voyager stories and the Golden Record were pivotal artifacts in forming my young mind. This idea of…
I'm sorry, I said I probably won't work with them. That shouldn't be a probably, it's a won't work with them. I hope they are inspired. I hope others besides me can advocate for UBI which would have lowered the pressure…

In every Smart TV thread there are dozens or hundreds of comments that say people don't put connect their TV to their wireless. I understand. I've been an EFF supporter for decades, at least when I can afford it. I get…
Cool tools. Now make it easier for me to say no to some people like I've publically stated. I have people trying to draw me into debates and I'd like to cut them from my life. Thanks.

I haven't explored the BEAM ecosystem much. And this post actually got me motivated enough to try it out. The more programming languages we play with, the better we become as engineers. We learn the different design…
I really appreciate the level of discourse here on Hacker News. Thank you to threads like this and the authors of the comments. I appreciate your argument, and you knowlwdge of economics adds weight to it. I'm wary of…
I didn't mean to imply Germany isn't independent and at the same time we can't trust our allies. It's mostly that the monster game puts risk downstream too. And some have it really bad if you're going for citizenship. I…

This has already been hashed over a hundred thousand times, but there are also developer habits that we all need to defend against. One is pulling in needless crates. Rust encourages that behavior. Sometimes rightly,…

I don't know if I'll use Arduino in a professional project, but the existence of simavr and in-tree QEMU support means I can at least unit-test my code without dedicated test runners hooked up to hardware or licensing…
I found a really interesting potential dark pattern on a Smart Samsung washing machine the other day. I had never connected the machine to the Internet since it was purchased. It always defaulted to Heavy Duty for the…
I have two groups of things I've put online that I think I'll regret short term but not long-term. They're both about understanding of statistics at their heart. But in vastly different ways. The first is my first set…
The name of this bill, "Block BEARD" is what really gets me. It's a simple thing. Just a casual joke that means nothing to most people. I worry because there are millions of young citizens who are going to have to work…
You're probably right. We'll have enforced boot chains and attestation for devices if we want to take part in large parts of our economic system in the future. A ton of important systems like banking, safe and secure…
These things create very subtle but definite opportunities for conflict. And conflict can be twisted very easily by media organizations. Even if only four researchers out of a hundred or thousand who visit every year…
Well, you wouldn't have to sell the car. You could also setup a licensing / loan / dedicated car system. It would work well for local municipalities that want to provide low-cost door-to-door service for the elderly. We…
I just got a pair of new shoes to me, previously owned by another. I'm glad they were left behind, different items mean different things to people at different stages of their life. Like at this stage? I'd love to find…

But would you want to work for a company that just does a vibe check, or one that raises the bar with every hire? That high-level Apple employee was probably a manager and oversaw hiring people. I would tell myself…
