For many books that's true, for the book in this example (The Book of Kells) it isn't. Having seen it in pictures and then in person, the difference is notable, partly because of the difference between a camera and a human eye, an

The issue here is that a picture of a book is not a book, a copy of a game is the same game. Barring people with excellent and well-adjusted monitors looking at uncompressed images, the pics we see are (potentially excellent, but still) app

What we need is the same thing we've needed for a long time now, ethical standards applied across the whole industry in the same way that many other professions are regulated. If civil engineers acted the way that software engineers ro

The problem is that it's also responsible for a tremendous cost in terms of life, resources, and human misery. Drunk driving alone account for a quarter of 1.25 annual fatalities on the roads worldwide. I don't know how many peopl

Hahaha! Yeah imagine trying to explain to Paracelsus that if you accelerated him enough he'd have an apparent wavelength.

Fortunately I was, mostly because I'd been doing that all along for years. If not... that would have been a very unpleasant experience.

The Ars Magna abides I suppose? I really do think that alchemists would find the modern age of chemistry fascinating, if they could get over the horror of realizing that their religious theories of nature would require immense modification.

When they made the first move a month or so ago I promptly bailed and now I buy Kobo. I have ZERO interest in digital products I can't archive, it's my bottom line, especially with books that I don't want to have to deal with

Always. In fact people in the first world now are much MUCH more jaded and less credulous than even city-dwellers in ancient times were. You wouldn't believe what people in isolated villages would have fallen for a few thousand years a

This article reminds me of another I read first here, 'Reality Has A Surprising Amount of Detail' by John Salvatier. At first blush 3D printing seems easy, but especially with smaller parts that might go through many duty cycles i

Weaponized hypocrisy in politics is hardly new, this is just another example of it. The right wing has always benefited from a certain degree of shamelessness, as Trump epitomizes. By the same token the left benefits from an unearned certai

I don't know what to tell you, the assertion in the article comes down to, 'The stories told to tourists are inventions for the sake of tourists' and not, 'These plants were never used in history."

Based on reading the article it seems that the myth isn't that people were aware of the properties of these plants, but that they weren't in regular use by people to for "healing" purposes. That's quite a different

Deniability? Modern forensics are quite impressive, and drones/missiles/etc don't just go away when they detonate. Besides, that was a whole flotilla acting in the public eye, and Hamas still had the veneer of legitimacy for

You think Israel sent a drone to attack a ship they could have just interdicted like they always do, and did it across the whole Med to near Italy? Why?

You have a point, we will have to wait and see, but my point is that we've had criminal, terrible, even catastrophic presidencies before: Trump is not the first and if we aren't honest with ourselves, he won't be the last.

Without in any way minimizing the naked corruption and incompetence of Trump and his administration... come on. We had Nixon and Reagan, the former started the "War on Drugs" and the latter gutted the US mental health infrastructu

Europe also seems to more readily accept "A cold snap killed off thousands of elderly people living alone", and that's doubly true in the UK. It tends not to get covered in the US because after all it's very local news a

I think this goes back to cultural expectations to some extent. In some cultures the response to that is, "Your parents probably had full-time jobs and then they raised you on top of it, and part of the cycle of life is 'paying th

The article itself is a lot more robust than the headline, which is ideally only designed to create engagement rather than stand on its own.

They probably looked at the biggest player in the game, OpenAI, losing money hand-over-fist and concluded that a lack of demand must play a role. And they're right. They cited consumer research to show the ambivalence of consumers towa

I don't understand the concern here, autism is a developmental neurological disorder, why does that fact need to be avoided? That isn't an insult, it isn't dehumanizing, after all it's people who have this disorder and a
