The Zune isn't an answer to anything but "What would an iPod look like 8 years ago, if the morons who designed your crappy washer and dryer from 1986 worked on it?"

I don't. :) I like to hike and do yoga, but only because it feels nice to do, not because I care about healthy. I'll live 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 years and die. You'll live 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 and die. Maybe I'll die a little sooner then

Very great mathematicians are born. You're either born as Ramanujan or Erdos or you're never going to be Ramanujan or Erdos. No way around it. But, merely pretty damn good mathematicians can work really good and be a thousandth as useful

The problem is that microsoft doesn't need critiques as much as someone to fire the idiots in charge of the places the problems arise. The problem with microsoft is that no one fires the idiots who think it's OK to let customers see this

The truth is that computer programming skills are a commodity and that the silicon valley culture is no longer relevant to big problems. The world has moved on, the same way it has moved on from industrial and agrarian economies. These si

It offered people who are too scared of living to get out and do something in the world an addictive way to enjoy the illusion they have accomplished something without requiring them to engage in life? If you are really sitting around think

People who are concerned this is a fad have some legitimate concerns. But, they are at risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This diagnosis opens up an incredibly insightful way of understanding much of human culture, history,

The first one is trivially true because of the word 'might' The second one I think is true and an extremely elegant solution for a bizarre neurological phenomena. And critiquing Ramachandran's neurology on the basis of an epistemology ignor

Yes and no. I was trying to make one small point and it kind of blew up into a thesis or something. I didn't mean for that to happen, and didn't work enough into the first things I wrote to support where the thread turned. That sounds awf

I am not confusing them so much as avoiding trying to write a textbook on autism when addressing the original issue. I was sloppy. I may not have succeeded at my goal of not writing too much. The existence of mirror neurons is not just a

I did not get the message. Maybe the internets have a clog.

I know what Ramachandran's league is. What areas of expertise do you have to such a degree that your intuitions upon a cursory glance at one or two of his papers carry more weight then his decades of study and work at the cutting edge of t

Your suggestions are very good. But, as a design ninja, you really think the design isn't bad? I was with you till that line. I thought the four paragraphs above it were on the money and pretty strongly imply the design is bad. The idea i

by LPTS 18y ago
Yeah, you noticed flaws in Ramachandran's thinking. That'd be like me going up to Buckminster Fuller and saying "I don't think those dome things will work because I played with legos as a kid and don't see building it out of legos." Or goin

This is great. This is exactly the type of game I loved as a kid. It must feel good to have your game to such a good spot and just have to tweak it and add cool bosses and a few more mechanics like level editors or retro zelda levels. Alr

My MacBook Pro's trackpad is totally awesome. No more mouse pains in my hand from using my computer a lot. Most trackpads suck, but a good trackpad beats a good mouse, I think.

I love this game. This is exactly the kind of game I want to play when I want to kill time but not learn something complicated. It's easily the best flash game I have played. You should have some bosses, and some retro zelda dungeons or s

I don't really think any reasonable reading suggests the kids dad was asking question a. Do you?

by LPTS 18y ago
Because Ramachandran thinks so?

No, because a non-autistic person can use their mirror neurons to imitate the behavior a person who has it. (This is the mechanism by which all of human culture evolved). I'll drop you that email, maybe we are getting too far off topic.

Because they asked for feedback, and that's the big problem I see. It's not that I'm nitpicking at the details of their vision, it's that I think they don't have any vision. If you want to build a 21st century place for people to meet arou

Incorrect. It's possible for autistic adults to relate well to non-autistic adults in many circumstances (discussing technical things at work, for example, or discussing common interests) without the extra effort. There will always be som

You don't want to do the study you would need to do to grasp the issue well enough to form a coherent judgement. Reading one paper won't even come close to cutting it. I can give you a list of books on neurology and autism to read. But I

Again, no offense, but the set of people who understand child development and the set of people who would say what you said do not intersect. So I can infer that you do not know child development.
