If you're a computer nerd, yes, definitely. There are plenty of people I wouldn't recommend it to, though.

I can't help but think that the idea is very pie-in-the-sky at this point, and the author is bike-shedding by thinking about how to deliver SD cards before having a product. This is probably uncharitable. But it would be an explanation

Maybe many people don't need "most apps." I need about 5 apps and a nice camera.

Reminds me of swimmer Mark Spitz who had a mustache at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, and won 7 gold medals in a world record. The Russian swimming coach asked him about the mustache, and he replied that American scientists had determined tha

Yeah, from the trailer at least the canyons exactly mirrored my image of the book. It's actually eerie how close the whole world and tech looks to how I pictured them.

I can't imagine anyone loving "the idea" of Le Guin who hasn't read her books. What an idea. It's not like she's famous enough to have acolytes who spout her stuff without having read it. And what's "

Don't know how "prominent" they were, except maybe in their own lives. There are a few lists online. E.g. [1] lists people like Josh Duggar and Hunter Biden as people who were on the site. (I don't think either of them w

I've always found what happens in the third dimension weird. A 0-dimensional space needs up to: 1 color. A 1-dimensional space needs up to: 2 colors. A 2-dimensional space needs up to: 4 colors. A 3-dimensional space needs up to: ∞ col

Well, Perplexity sure believes George Orwell wrote it. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/who-wrote-The-UA.znXC3SXGjv... (AI search engines are just going to get crappier and crappier as more junk is put in the web.)

I'm sorry, but your photos depict exactly what I am talking about. Those streets that the cars are crowding down are narrow (to an American) with barely enough room for two lanes of traffic. Cars are parked with two wheels on the sidew

I kept expecting this to end with some silly grammatical pun. Like a shaggy-dog version of "Eats, shoots and leaves."

Presumably if Amsterdam was a "car-dominated hellscape" it was because cars were forcing themselves into a city that was designed for people and carts. Then they pushed back against the cars and returned it to being a people-centr

Yeah. They're everywhere around me (Greater Boston), but we really do need more housing in this country. These allow denser construction, without needing to build skyscrapers. One of the issues, though not directly related to 5-over-1,

Even without naming a thing, once we categorize it we perceive it differently. This can be shown, for example, in chicken sexers. Chicken cloaca all look the same to most of us. But once you've learned for to distinguish the two sexes,

This is why this conversation is making me insane. How are people saying straight-faced that the user is requesting a specific page? They aren't, they're doing a search of the web. That's not at all the same as a browser visi

Presumably the issue is more the travel guides/Time Out/Tripadvisor type websites. They make money by you reading their stuff, not by you actually spending money in the place.

Lovely. I love that double jump works -- you can get on top of the very highest building in the demo.

I believe it is a real, satirical study that was performed to address a real, serious issue with the way some studies are performed. My understanding of the target of the satire is studies that compare a treatment to a placebo only in &quot

See a physio or a trainer to do it right, but in general explosive or percussive movements are supposed to be good for knees. People used to think that jogging was terrible for knees, for instance, but now the consensus seems to be the op

If you mean in the sense of pulling, probably Nordic curls, although they're a pretty advanced movement. Usually, though, pushing strength is enough for most people for their legs, so if you mean in terms of hard, difficult movements,

Hmm, but party of the strategy of this one is that different cells have different odds, and you know those odds. It's not just a random 50% chance, that wouldn't be so interesting. I could see probabilistic cheese working as each

Except that they literally said "was supplied by the commercial processing facility." I don't see any reason to doubt their word. And as someone who also works in academia, in the kind of mushy low-budget research that these

I'm unsure how a photo of a loin chop suggests it was bought at the nearest grocery store. It didn't have a package with a grocery store name. It says it came from a commercial meat processing facility, and I don't see any re

That's a different one, that's one with auditory beeps and only two flashes. It's not the same as the illusion in the paper.

This is looking better and better, and I really want to try it, but am unable to make the full leap. Has anyone had experience switching between the Light Phone and their daily phone on a day-by-day basis? My daily phone is Android, I don&#
