You need to keep up with the denialism cutting edge, they’ve given up on attacking the incontrovertible science, and are pivoting to defeatism, “global greening” and other versions of “it’s happening, so what?” Get with the times man!... An

So many assumptions here. Maybe they’d be able to, but why would they want to? What’s the point of probing a galaxy that you can only ever explore below the speed of light, at the cost of ungodly amounts of energy and eons of time? Why woul

The wired to your goggles belt mounted computer strikes me as a hazard and source of potential discomfort, and is noticeably absent from its nearest competitor. Those cables aren’t break-away, so with your view of the real world dimmed by

Comfort to wear is still unknown frankly, and while it has marginally improved FOV and 2 focal planes it also has a much worse view of the real world because of the 6 layers of waveguides. It feels like an expensive dead end, especially whe

Damn, that’s someone who really knows where their towel is. He nailed it two years ahead of time, through a morass of hype, based on patents alone and got it all right. Looking over more of his site he correctly predicted why the view of th

Have you played Divinity: Original Sin? I think you’d enjoy it a lot if Dejenol is up your alley.

Ask him how it’s possible that you can see further at the top of a tower than at its base on a flat plane? Or better yet, ignore the troll/lunatic.

Being locked down is the source of the value on many cases. Being locked down and curated means that when someone looks for an app they find that app, and not that app and a dozen lookalikes with similar names, half of which are outright

You can do whatever you want with your iPhone too, including rooting it, or throwing out of a moving car. Apple can then choose to support it, or not. In the same way that you can buy a given make and model of car and mod it into a dragster

My guess is definitely Why, then, are younger people more likely to be uncertain or ambivalent? Perhaps they are more likely to offer frivolous or ironic responses, as Earther’s Brian Kahn suggests... I think the concept of honestly answe

It’s employed as a distraction or means to vent rage at a palatable target. The Danes, the Jews, Israel, Americans, that serves a dual purpose. “Oh you want more freeeom of speech? See what they do with it in Denmark! You want a democracy..

Right, and WalMart has a “monopoly” on WalMarts, but that’s not actually a monopoly. If they had a monopoly on supermarket, that would be a legal issue. Apps is the space for competition, and Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on apps, or phones

Apple has a “monopoly” on their own products, not smartphones or apps, or anything else. It’s like complaining that Ford has a monopoly on cars made by Ford. There are other phones, other ecosystems, other cars. A monopoly isn’t “I want an

It sounds like the Narcissist’s Prayer. That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did… You deserved it.

Looking at a lot of life, it’s more like long periods of rest interspersed with very short, very high intensity struggle. Big cats sleep most of the day, lizards bask, snakes and crocodiles just hang around. Most non-grazing animals spend a

Separate your ads from your tracking, and host them such that you can guarantee they won’t peg my cpu or mine bitcoin on my computer and we’ll talk. If your idea of ads is tracking me all over the web and taking malware risks, then expect m

The narrative is a function of a loud group with time and energy to spare, and downvoting power. A year ago you can still find the same issues raised today being raised, they’ll just be gray at the bottom of the page with a lot of angry rep

The burn is potentially more efficient, but the bigger it is past a certain point, you’re just blasting that energy out of the atmosphere. I suppose burying or submerging a massive device would deliver more energy, but it would be supremely

What a silly idea. Even at 50MT much of the energy was lost as it punched through the atmosphere and out into space. If you’re really a lunatic who wants to exterminate life, many smaller nuclear detonations is inherently more efficient tha

I could be wrong, but I took him to mean “post comments” and not “submit content” although I could be wrong. Obviously some great content exists on YouTube, but it’s been a given for years that the comments are incredibly awful and essentia

They’re not skeptical though, that word already means something. They’re in denial, hence denier. “Climate skeptic” is right up there with “pro life” for cynical lack of sincerity. Frankly “climate denier” is already the respectful term, wi
