Well the sample size is good. You could validate the data by comparing self reported averages against actual averages from a sample group.

I don't know that it's good or bad, I think it's simply a signal, like hunger or tiredness that allows us to make an informed choice about what we can do to meet the needs of our body and mind.

Ian M Banks "invented" this tech in his novels. If this proves to be robust and safe it's pretty damn cool.

Minecraft already has a theoretical land size that's larger than the landmass of earth. Interestingly, the defacto behaviour with players is to start brand new maps every once in a while, even though only the barest fraction of the ava

The stretch of beaches between Grand Haven and Saugatuck are some of the best spots to spend a summer (all 5 weeks of it in the Michigan climate).

Facebook lowered the overhead for staying in touch with your friends. Pretty much every update since the beginning has steadily raised that overhead, and now it's no more efficient than email was at solving the problem.

It's more about how the cable is managed in terms of slack, keeping the cage from flipping over, etc. I agree with you, the cable itself is an unlikely point of failure.

The concern I have is that failures in the control software or mechanical failure would have grave consequences. Maybe that's a solved problem and the cable capstans have mechanical arrestors that kick in, etc but the setup looks inher

On the other hand, it's not a whole lot of fun to google a question and get a thread that's mostly filled with arguments about the validity of the question itself over and over again. I've often wondered why they don't s

I can't prove it, but I imagine we'd be surprised at how few letters they actually get during parts of the election cycle. Depending on your district your congressman may be far more accessible than you think.

The fact that it is still a central point of failure that contains the keys to the kingdom is worth noting. It occurs to me as I write this that for most people compromising an email account would be just as disastrous, given how many servi

The thing is, all that stuff is a long ways off. Something to work towards for sure, but we still need mid-term solutions. Self driving cars that are empty and come pick you up will, if anything, lead to more traffic on the roads initiall

>However, I would argue that these are not the same as infringing on your ownership. You could argue that, but you'd be going against the clear meaning of ownership over the last few hundred years.

The problem there is density. If it's still mostly 1 or 2 people per vehicle you haven't really solved anything.

It's also a lot safer on the track: the pavement conditions are known and lowsiding doesn't put you into a guardrail that will cut you off at the knees.

I think understanding how things are implemented intimately is something that certainly helps, but isn't 100% necessary in many cases until you want to start optimizing, or you are trying to do things the engine isn't designed to

By and large you do need to use another tool for generating the art assets. That's probably by design because a single program that could do it all would be pretty monolithic and probably couldn't be great at everything. UE4 uses

There's still a lot of abstraction in play though: you don't need to know everything about the low level implementation to use the engine. Even so, it took me about 6 months of working in the engine 30-40 hours a week to really be

Can we agree that if a company advertises a service as unlimited, and in fact it IS limited and you CAN hit that limit easily under what should be considered normal use then it is false advertising? I agree that it's strictly impossibl

It also has to do with how people value their time. On the PC, I'm willing to do some research before I plop down 60 bucks on a game. On mobile it would be the same amount of work for me to research, but I'm only looking at spendi
