Probably not. The problem is that many crazies aren't satisfied with just killing themselves; they want to take with them as many as possible. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

In a move that could one day free the world's countertops from their snarl of charging cords, researchers have developed a system to safely deliver electricity over the air, potentially turning entire buildings into wireless charging zones. "I can feel it coming in the air tonight"

Also:
"Elephanting magnets, how do they work?"

Oh my. So in addition to "Masks required" and "Proof of vaccination required", we would see buildings with "No pacemakers" signs.

It could analyze a photo of the Martian surface in just five seconds. NASA scientists need 40 minutes. Then they came for the Martian crater finders, and I did nothing because I didn't know Martian crater finder was a job people had

The SCO vs. IBM lawsuit that was once seen as an existential threat to Linux became a bad legal joke. Now the suit may finally be put to rest. Well, some of it anyway. I thought it would outlive us all

APIs have also become a fast-growing threat vector and a nexus of what research group Forrester calls “API insecurity.” Assuming you trust Forrester

Windows 11 is coming later this year, and Microsoft has confirmed that only eligible devices would get the new operating system via Windows Update. "Can", but not necessarily "should"

Vaguely different focus than the other two "Upgrading to Win 11" articles from yesterday.
But yeah, slow news year means I'm getting repetitive in my old age.
More repetitive, I guess.

I didn't mean it like that.
I meant it more like Windows 11 being rolled out like windows 10. If you want it or not (for the ones that don't know how to disable it) and on "your own" risk (although 98% of the problems are going to come due to Microsoft's untested crap)

Pairing is how we build confidence that we’re building something actually great, not just something that makes sense to me when I’m under-caffeinated. How foolish they used to be?

I learn that people can't communicate clearly.
I also learn that for many questions, they answer "I don't know." Why does rxjs call it SwitchMap? Answer: "I don't know."
It's scary when someone uses some function and doesn't know why the developers named it that.

Security and stability are both much better on newer PCs, says Microsoft. "Because I said so"
It works for parents everywhere, so why not corporations?

Didn't MS brag about how Windows 95 or something around that era was almost bulletproof?

Then have a Windows 11 Geriatric Edition, for those of us with "ancient" systems. Use at your own risk.

I suppose that working together with some hardware vendors had nothing to do with that...
Surely nobody ever asked "what's the best way to increase the sales of our new flag ship projects?"

Way back in 2013, I started mammoth.js, a library that converts Word documents into HTML. It's not a large project - roughly 3,000 lines - nor is it particularly exciting. Never underestimate the power of a side project
