I had to look up a name for this. "Utopian Fallacy." You don't have to get rid of genuine progress just because your utopian vision has something better. The USA is on the path to autonomous vehicles. They are not on the pa

> The CEO gets charged with manslaughter? Well then forget autonomous vehicles altogether and allow the human joyride to continue, because no CEO is stupid enough to risk that.

I was shocked (pun) to hear how my relatives were each reacting to solar energy. One was rural and was concerned about nearby land getting turned into a solar farm. Another was concerned about farmland being edged out in favor of solar. And

For me it was a blast. You just gotta embrace it. I can go back to a staggered board, no problem, but I prefer to use a Planck-like 47-key layout. If nothing else it's just more fun. Put a lot of thought into your layout and don't

But in the moment how do you know it's fraud and not an employee mistake? Especially if the price is not egregiously low.

I'd say a bigger difference is that Jobs casts a much larger shadow than Cook. Maybe Ternus will find it easier to move the company forward.

What you're describing I would categorize as "exploratory". Those games are fun and make good "big" games. The Portal series... early JRPGs... even the original Super Mario Brothers gave me that sense of not knowing

One beautiful thing about loops is that they allow smaller teams to create games. The loop is content and takes real, hard work. When you play a "do everything" game like Breath of the Wild or one of the modern Final Fantasy gam

I've lamented some of the decisions Apple has made over the years, one of them being to treat games and people who play them as second-class citizens. Marathon was a very good game but the main reason it was successful is because it wa

I wonder if this sort of corruption will become a new negotiation tactic. Give us what we want and we'll delay the announcement long enough for you to make preparations. I don't know how Polymarket works, so maybe you can enligh

There was a moment where the VOC measurement was stuck at an elevated level. The solution was to blow some air in there to knock (presumably) dust off the sensor, which worked. It could be that the VOC sensor is not great, but it could also

Buying a (relatively expensive) CO2 monitor is one of those purchases that I was pensive about at first, but have zero regrets about a few years later. I was ignorant of a lot of things related to air quality, CO2 in particular. We were foo
