Just a heads up; post-smartphone means the era after the smartphone. Maybe you intended to say this, then I'm really curious about your perspective?

If you are into videos, I found this playlist to be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3y8-rFHvwisvxhZ135p... He goes through how it used to be done before hooks and how easily it can be done now. I've b

Maybe I'm wooshing here, but there's a tab called "Recipe" ;) Edit: Ah - I just noticed, it is only there on some.

I don't agree with you - you're presenting the view which is the exact position people here are trying to put words to why doesn't work (and often hate about their jobs). But downvoting you is just as counterproductive as bur

No, it will be much less as seen from the ship. Seen from Earth, it'll be around 13 years (takes a year to got close to c and another to decelerate - that is two years to travel roughly a lightyear, then 11 to travel 11).

I think current technology makes no sense when talking about interstellar travel. I wonder how long it'd take, seen from the perspective of the ship, if we had an engine capable of delivering a constant 1g acceleration. That's the

According to this site with a bit of link-documentation, FF was first and the Opera-claim is false. https://allthatiswrong.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/opera-did-no...

I think Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electrical Sheep" (Bladerunner's inspirational material, yes; but very, very different) has an impressive walkthrough of these predicaments. AFAIK Dick always wrote about &q

I was wondering - do you tell your blind friend what he/she rolls or how do you deal with dice?

This could be true, but I don't think it is. There's a lot of money to be made in making weapons if there's a war. And the US is constantly waging wars, rarely with victory-conditions thought out in advance. As long as the mo

I agree with this, with one exception. > Like anything else we lose hope on, it will never change until those using it change. To me, this part comes off as implicitly defeatist. I don't think "people" change, and while ge

I think all he's saying is, that until he feels his own country resolves to use its arsenal in a somewhat responsible manner (he gave some pretty good examples to the contrary), he doesn't think you can make weapons for them in go

Dane here - we have a pretty mature union culture which is about more than just maximizing the salary. Unions actually become a boon for both employer and employee. The way we see it, unions are best used when there is a power discrepancy b

Dane here: last year, all the insects at my mom's farm were gone. No cherries, very few apples - worst harvest we've ever experienced. The buzzing is simply gone and it is chilling. It is like being in a silent city; wrong.

> Doesn't that make Danes better than Americans? In my opinion, yes. That is my culture and I stand by it. But my point is that Danes aren't inherently better. It isn't like Scandinavians are some kind of master race with

Dane here. I think this article gets something right, pointing out trust. Another word would be "solidarity" - believing you 'owe' your fellow countryman and that you are on the same team. What's good for you is goo

I both liked it and was left disappointed. I didn't like its overly biblical take on the universe with replicants as angels and Wallace as an old testament God, Luv an allusion to Lucifer. Joi, on the other hand, could have been a high

I just wanted to second this - it is def. worth the short time to read. I decided to finally read "Do Androids..." after watching Blade Runner 2049 and have tried reading some of Dick's other work. It is a weird discrepancy b

Actually, it is the opposite for me. Works fine in both, but in Chrome - if I open developer tools - I get 19 warnings and 1 error. None in FF.

Removal of Net Neutrality benefits the largest players. Which is also why Americans sure as dawn will lose it with their current legally corrupt political system.
