Counterpart may be the best show of that sort I’ve ever seen.

agree totally. Shane…OMG, Kenny….

Nextdoor is a nightmare.

On face it, this sounds kind of like the XML::Twig perl module.

yes. AKA “business”

I love this guy. I ran across him trying to self teach about embedded electronics and his site is one of the best I’ve found both for interesting projects and good instructional examples.

My favorite angle is he left Xerox to run IH. How does that line up time-wise with all the seminal developments at Xerox PARC? Did he also leave money lying on the table that would later be scooped up and parlayed into riches by Jobs and Apple?

Numberphile is good, but more "crowd sourced".

I really love that guy. Half the time I get completely lost, but when I can follow him, he's as good as it gets.

There are ethics in tech journalism?

How is it that this is news?

Is "silicone" now an acceptable word to describe microprocessors? I'm familiar with its use regarding body modification, but...

Ticking time bomb, 2022 Edition?

By some measure Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" is the greatest American novel of the 20th century.

My understanding has always been that the case against Oppenheimer was primarily a hatchet job by Teller.

Needs better headline.

I think it is the favorite book of a lot of people who don't read a lot. It's a transparent soap opera that flirts with incest and skullduggery and a lot of dreck. I don't intentionally not finish many books, but that's in the list.

Awful, awful book. I've finished a lot of bad books, but that one was too much.

Weird headline.

This is why just about everything I see on the web that isn't static is just stupid mush.

lol unicorns

That employs millions.

Someone’s job in PR is to get the facts right in the press releases. Like referring to first American President as “Gerald Washington”

Never.

I would certainly welcome some life returning to downtown Dallas. When I worked there in the aughts it looked more or less indistinguishable from a lot of the Rust Belt downtowns I visited during the same period. Skyrocketing vacancies and anemic accommodations because of all the the companies who fled to real estate deals in the burbs.

Yeah, this is a completely valid complaint. How in the world did automakers manage to get vehicles on the market that require you to look away from your 70 mph trajectory on a highway to visually confirm that you clicked "OK" instead of "Cancel"? Major safety design failures. You know it the first time you encounter it.

how is signaling different from "whatever you happen to agree with"?

Lol. Griffis AFB, recently retired by the US govt. and the home of Woodstock ‘99 was my actual birth place, 40 years earlier, nearly to the day. August 3, 1959. My dad was an enlisted man in USAF and base medical services was all they could afford.

Mary Schmich was the speaker at my graduation from North Central College in Naperville IL in June 2000. She gently prefaced her remarks with the clarification that she, and not Vonnegut was the source is the song’s text.

I'm only here to say that I think Pluton is a completely ridiculous name.
