Reminiscent of the animation industry and OpenToonz. Marketing as well as grass roots advocacy of new and shiny things makes Toonz a bit obscure unless you're a little familiar with the industry.

It's a shame opening local HTML pages is so heavily restricted in modern browsers. I mean, I get it, but we also might not need Electron if you could stuff everything into a single HTML file and let users download that as your "

I can see us walking into a situation where we make a robot that has motor functions, but we don't give it the equivalent of nerves and nerve endings so and so it doesn't feel pain. That would definitely warp a human's develo

Was losing net neutrality as bad as we all feared? No, not immediately. But safeguards are important to the future, and we want to prevent this particular slope from getting any more slippery.

Prime is subsidized by a million other things. Cancelling does not send a message, or rather, the message isn't nearly specific enough to be interpreted by Amazon as "we should make a better show and/or stop making this one.&

The point of a dark theme is to be... dark. What darkness of gray would be agreeable to you? Just curious. #111 too dark? #444? Anything #666 or higher is way too light for an aesthetically-pleasing dark background imo.

By whose standards is it horrible? What if the intelligence doesn't even know we're here? Or that we are (or believe ourselves to be) conscious? Do you feel guilty playing The Sims?

Can I ask what led you to this decision? I'm genuinely curious.

We're subjectively experiencing our own set of qualia, but who's to say machines don't experience a completely different set? Since we don't understand what causes qualia, we don't know where it will arise or not or

You just gave me the idea for an HTML file format that writes changes to contenteditable back to the file. Has anyone tried this before? I'm likely ignorant. But it would be a pretty exciting document publishing format.

Maybe Google decides certain ingredients aren't fit for public consumption and changes the recipe in their "summary." Or maybe the FDA tells Google it has to do this. On a mass scale, maybe 0.2% of people would double check t
