In a small town of 900 people, it seems odd a council member would be THAT upset about removing license plate reading camera systems, when it's clear the town doesn't want it. To get flustered enough to start proposing…
The irony is that on-shoring high-end manufacturing would be a good thing. But the approach of "do it right now, or I'll put tariffs on your product(s)" is not the way to get any lasting change. It's a way to get the…
Given this was backdoor was likely funded by a nation-state actor and very carefully obfuscated, the fact that it was discovered within a month and never rolled out to production releases, shows that the open source…
Interesting investigation, good read. Definitely illustrates how new paradigms (i.e. overlay filesystems) can subtly affect behaviors in ways that are complex to track down.

If the software development is mostly stock and standard, I would agree, it doesn't matter if staff have advanced degrees or not. But developers with advanced degrees tend to have a better understanding of what is…
I hope Boom can make supersonic travel commercially viable. Would be nice to have a faster option for long-distance travel, even though the cost will probably be too high for most. I'd sooner spend money on that vs.…
As advertising is a huge part of Google's revenue, I'm surprised they've let an extension like uBlock Origin work on Chrome as long as they have. If you haven't tried Firefox in a while, it's time to give it another…
Mozilla is a non-profit that made a couple of poor decisions. Meanwhile Google's whole business model is based around it. It is not the same thing at all.
I understand where you are coming from. I've done that with a few selected items, but in general I have chosen the newer options. There always seems to be a feature or two I find worth the hassle.
Newer tech has added vast amounts of new functionality at the expense of making the older, simpler functions a bit more cumbersome and less reliable. Not everyone likes that trade off. For example, in the early 1980s,…
C and C++ are most often used when performance is the highest priority. Undefined behavior is basically the standards committee allowing the compiler developers maximum flexibility to optimize for performance over error…
Very impressive. If my understanding of how the AI works is correct, it is using a pre-computed strategy developed by playing trillions of hands, but it is not dynamically updating that during game play, nor building…
