I wonder who he thinks the state lotto victimizes?

It's something that a lot of professions are specifically trained to avoid. Awareness is a hierarchy. No one can remain hyper vigilant all the time, but you can be trained to remain in a state of relaxed vigilance. In this state, you

Have there been other instances of a company retroactively turning a product the consumer has bought and paid for into borderline malware?

That just made me think...could you poison Google's 'did you mean...' feature that we sometimes use as a defacto spellcheck by seeding the web with a consistently misspelled word all over the place?

It's a little tough with films in particular because you don't really have control over how it will be depicted. Sometimes you might know that a specific shot will be an insert close of a particular panel, but in general the DP an

I've thought about that a lot, and I think new tech adoption relies more on the social framework that's in place around it than we think. Simply put: if it makes you look/seem like an asshole then it's not gonna happen u

I think it's kinda bullshit that there seems to be no limit on the information that the government, Facebook et. al. can gather on me, but somehow I can't be trusted with information about my own genetic code unless it's been

A simple disguised mechanical switch would have worked much better. Set it up so you have to push the handle down before pulling it up to disengage the magnet for instance.

Sounds like a great catch-all euphemism for human error. AKA the computer received faulty input from the keyboard/mouse movement.

I'm not sure it's a problem. It's encapsulaiton. Systems should be designed so that there is a difference between the knowledge required to operate the device and the knowledge required to design/service it.

I don't think that adds up to x100 or even close but I see where you are coming from.

I fully admit that it's a difficult problem and I don't pretend to have the answers. It's difficult to articulate clearly, but I think my general thought is that it would be good if we could collectively agree that a world wh

I'm so incredibly excited about the possibilities in this field. I recently made the move from film to game dev in hopes that at some point I can work with people on some of these problems. I firmly believe that real time experiences c

I think it's still interesting because the common assumption is that it shouldn't be possible at all. If you drop one apple you expect it to fall. If it doesn't then it's time to up your sample size and do further test

I do understand this, and to some extent it can be a valid approach. However, I think that the primary focus should be on fixing the systemic problem you mention. Anything else is just a bandaid at best, and at worst runs the risk of being

As I started reading this I was thinking: "Don't compare it to craft beer, don't compare it to...damn, they went there." I think Shakespeare is wonderful, but like many things in life (craft beer included) we sometimes m

It's possible the login gate is a necessary concession: many retail brands have policies in place that dictate a minimum advertized price. Publically offer the product at below that cost, and they will stop selling to you. They do this

Agreed. There were and are some terrible subreddits, but they aren't the default subs, you had to go looking for them. In that sense it's really no better or worse than the rest of the internet. I also think the article is pretty

I forget to eat meals regularly, so it's all kinda working out organically it would seem.

Huh, I just looked up my state's statute on this and it contained verbiage like "Includes, but not limited to". How the heck can they get away with defining a law so vaguely? I guess I wrongly assumed that a law had to actual

Weird to think that somebody may have learned that they weren't going to die today from a tweet.

Hmm, can you provide more details about the xfinity functionality? As of a week or two ago I wasn't able to find any support for it beyond just generically casting the tab from a PC to chromecast.
