There is a great Lupe Fiasco track called Dumb it Down. The first hook has the lyric: You’ll sell more records if you (Dumb it down!) That’s what the economy has been doing to us for the last 30 years (where ever software goes, it drags this virus with it). Making things unrepairable dumbs all…
Four really reasonable rules. Treat them as design constraints and I think we’re in a really good place. If there’s one thing which probably unites all of Hackaday’s community, it’s a love of technology. We live to hear about the very latest developments before anyone else, and the chances are for a lot of them…
Francis is a really great teacher… as always I got a lot out of this. The use of NOPs to affect timing weirded me out. Still, really valuable watch. Don’t worry about the length, he’s still totally understandable at 2x speed.
In summary, the Zoo Hypothesis predicts that we shall never find them because they do not want to be found, and they have the technological ability to ensure this. This theory is similar to the Planetarium Hypothesis, which also posits that advanced civilizations have the means to elude detection from our instruments. Unlike the Planetarium Hypothesis,…
“Shareholder value” makes my blood boil. Ever since we started this Shareholder Value nonsense, our values have gone to hell. The frontline employees tell me that this gets in the way of serving customers: they are forced to see dollar signs out there, not people. Consequently, many of them don’t give a damn any more.

The project aims to have 3,400 megawatts of solar panels and 4,000 megawatt hour (MWh) of battery storage. This alone costs P200 billion, SPNEC said. Once finished, the firm said it would generate around 5 billion kilowatt-hour (kWh) yearly “or an estimated 5% of the total volume of the Philippine grid and 12 percent of…
One of Gagné’s final points is that “We have to stop mocking” the NAR and other dominionists, “because these people are very serious…. We have to stop downplaying it and put a light on it and say, ‘They believe this.’ We’re not the measure of the entire world. People have different ways of conceptualizing the…
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled to remove Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 election ballot. The attempt will likely fail and backfire — but it’s indicative of American liberalism’s current distaste for the unpredictable messiness of democracy. The decision to lean into this approach to the ballot is going to cause more problems than…
In the expansive area of Gelephu, the existing natural landscape and infrastructure have naturally given rise to eleven distinctive neighborhoods. These areas are meticulously planned, drawing inspiration from the Mandala principles. Each neighborhood is centered around a communal space, with a gradual shift from scattered smaller buildings in the northern region to more substantial urban…
