Your strategy is definitely the one I try to use, otherwise the let-down is just... crushing, especially in a world as fully realized as WoT. I'm cautiously looking forward to seeing what can be done with an HBO/Showtime kind of t

Well... yeah. Miami isn't going to be around for all that much longer either. Large parts of the world are going to be inundated, flooded, or actually drowned. To be fair though, the fine distinction between "frequent flooding des

I don't have a dog in this hunt, I will simply point out that people who have used LSD have been claiming that it's pretty much magic, that everyone should try it, etc... for decades. The very guarded initial ventures into real re

I think it's a strong argument for a kind of "diary" style of record keeping, rather than the highly literal one we use for everything now. It may also go some ways to explaining the success of something like Snap.

Yeah, I do respect the product for what it is, and while it's not something I'd use 24/7/365, I'd definitely turn to it in a pinch. I also agree with you about the care and the improvements, they seem to be willing

Having run into this the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14032410 I'm inclined to agree. Clearly we're not alone in that sentiment, if you check the responses to their ill-conceived Twitter poll.

It's not about the lines that I draw or that anyone draws, it's about the fundamental power asymmetry in customer-business relationships. Obviously a bar or a B&B have to consider the whole pool of customers, but if you'r
