Yes but there are alternatives. The consumer has chosen and they've chosen Apple's model for how a phone should work.

Is the iPhone a monopoly?

Allowing multiple app stores inherently breaks the 'curated' feature. It would make it like on my PC, where I have to install 10s of 'stores' to access individual pieces of software. Perhaps you think this is a positive

Nobody is forced to pay 30% eternally to Apple. You make it sound as though people switching to Android isn't possible, yet I know many people who've done it.

The issue with that is that you would end up with the balkanisation of the app delivery method as we have with PCs. You would end up with hundreds of 'stores' which act as the exclusive distributor for that vendors products. One w

What about the freedom to choose a highly curated platform because you want that and are prepared to pay a premium for it?

I hate everything about WFH. I like travelling to a different environment each day, interacting with my colleagues, being in a space designed for work (proper seating and desks, aircon), looking someone in the eye when I'm talking to t

It's providing me with a unified experience, which is a benefit. You might not value it but others do.

Blender wouldn’t really replace any of their existing software though. It’s not really a competitor for Houdini or Katana. Maybe Maya at some point but good luck getting the modellers and animators to switch.

I don't think the article is arguing that the specifics of what people see in an LSD or Psilocybin trip are of significance. Rather it's the shift of perspective that often results that can be of benefit. For someone with an incur

It definitely wasn't indistinguishable from pre-rendered CGI, there are a lot of shadow artifacts for one thing. It looks great but we get this ever few years from the real time people - they're amazing at picking off the low hang

I think the general workflow is session view for initial idea exploration to come up with a set of parts that you can ‘perform’. Then once you are happy you record that into arrangement and finish the track from there. Probably more applica

I work on Linux full time at work and use a Mac at home, both primarily for creative work. The Linux experience has some strengths, but you feel required to spend a significant amount of time customising your environment to reduce workflow

Sorry for the very belated response. I'm also from England, and I have a number of American colleagues who live and work in the UK and strongly prefer the NHS (with all its drawbacks) to the American system of healthcare. So I'm s

Is your country of origin held up as having a particular high standard of nationalised healthcare?

I go to psytrance parties reasonably often because I have friends who are into it, but I hate psytrance personally. Different strokes for different folks.

Because people like different music and the different genres sound different. If you don't think they sound different it's just because you haven't refined the part of your brain that can discern the differences for this type

Given that we and everything around us consists of particles obeying the laws of physics, I don’t think it’s odd that the burden of proof should lie with those suggesting the existence of something else. Remember, we are to the best of our

I’m not sure of the point you’re making. The point is it’s entirely possible to conceive of a complex biological agent that can take actions on the basis of sensory input data without invoking the need for a subjective experience. That woul

True but the first poster to mention race was the one bringing up the issue of racism.

I love the keyboard also and really hope they can fix the reliability issues but retain the feel. The old one feels really mushy to me now.

Nice write up. I'm pretty certain this technique was being used in offline rendering for VFX prior to 2008 though.

I'm speaking from experience. What happens is that strength of feeling is used as a substitute for quality of argument. Those that dissent are accused of insensitivity or worse. Perhaps you've never had this experience but that do

>Just let them be. And they will let you be too. I think this is the point of contention. I don't think the type of person I'm describing will 'let you be' if you make an argument that falls outside their worldview. A

Isn't it part of the problem that left-leaning people consider themselves to have good intentions but consider right-leaning people to have bad intentions? Everyone is the hero of their own narrative. While I would likely be more align

I believe at least some of the studies mentioned were dealing with rats rather than humans. I didn't read anything from the sourced article that overstepped the bounds of what could be said from the research. It seemed like all the int

Could you explain more why you think absolute equality of outcome should be a goal for humanity? I understand and support the argument that we should not penalise people for being unfortunate enough to be born in less advantaged circumstanc
