You say that like it's a bad thing.

The 'experiment' was to see if they could get away with it, and it failed miserably.

That, and a small notebook (many people can read a bit of English better than hearing it) can get you 99% of the way there. I did a lot of traveling pre-mobile and pre-internet and these simple tools served me very well!

I do. I struggle with basic math (always have) so I keep a simple calculator right next to my keyboard because it's instantly available as compared to the one in my phone or on the computer.

US v. Skinner was a huge mistake.

How anyone could think this isn't a 4th Amendment violation is a mystery to me.

He'll get the nod of course, just a question of how big the check needs to be.

Pablo breaking another important story.

I do Spelling Bee, Wordle, Mini and both Connections every day, the rest as time allows. I enjoy them all.

Original title: Nearly 20 years ago, the makers of Age of Empires tried to make a Halo MMO, and then the studio closed: 'I still feel like no-one has really done the action MMO I see in my mind'

Don't worry the protein fad is almost played out, next one will be 'fiber'.

It's also a big problem in telco. I worked in Network Operations for two cell providers, and we were constantly working on this problem.

Finally, the smart clothing promised us in sci-fi is becoming feasible.

You definitely captured the SimCity vibe. Well done!

I once hoped Vimeo would grow to compete with YT, but that dream died long ago.

Excellent book!

You can read it online or download it for free via Peter's Web site. Link is in the 'External Links' section.

Yes, both the real estate and dotcom bubbles both had their alarmists, same as for AI.

Time for BRICS to shine.

I didn't think I could, but it turns out I can.

Scantron and a #2 pencil.

Only a third? That's better than I imagined, assuming that figure is accurate.

"Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner" by Paul Sammon

A deep history of the making of the movie "Blade Runner". Very enjoyable if you liked the movie.

Two, user and root, but I live alone and don't have to share with anyone.

"Sure enough, in 2019, when the private-equity firm Cornell Capital bought the gadget’s maker..."

Well there's your problem.

Pico-8 was a great idea, I just wish I knew why audio is messed up on my phone when I use the emulator.

Time for ESA, JAXA and others to step up.

Very impressive for a Pico-8 demo.

When's the rug pull?
