It's actually not a big problem in many cases. If you need to physically interact with something that's N number of miles away from you then yes it could be an issue.

Erring on the side of skepticism around deploying irreversible global changes is rational. Humans have a track record of deploying techniques and technologies well before the consequences are well understood, so it makes sense to actively a

The dialogue in that show was fantastic. I'd love to see more shows with that particular sort of stylization. Sorkin is very unique.

We don't need to put the living space underground in order to leverage the thermal mass for heating or cooling.

Leveraging thermal energy != living underground, there are lots of ways to exchange the thermal energy without needing to dig a living space, etc.

I agree the term is technically incorrect but it's still used as such in the building/architecture industry AFAIK.

It seems pants on head crazy that a mere 20 feet or so below the ground it's a livable and pretty comfortable temperature year round, virtually worldwide. And yet we spend an enormous amount of money, time and energy heating and then c

You mentioned phones, which reminds me how much I wish there was a nice toolchain that would allow for hosting a webserver or maybe a federated social network of some sort on old android hardware. There are millions of old smartphones sitti

I don't think you need to distort Scrum for it not to work.

One thing I find helpful is to inventory your meta-skills. There are a lot of jobs that require meta-skills which can be super useful in completely different domains. Jobs that require you to learn things on the fly, jobs that require you t

Your making my point far better than I could, thank you.

I completely agree with you. However, I'm responding to the OP's thesis which seems to be at least partially rooted in a critique of material conditions. I definitely think there's a deeper argument to be explored here around

Let me be more direct: suggesting that the life of the average Millennial is so uniquely miserable that the best approach is to give up trying to make things better, and implant simulated memories is one of the most myopic, selfish and self

Pick 100 random people from 100 random times in history. Millennials will have objectively better quality of life than almost all of them. That isn't to say that we don't have a huge number of problems that should be completely so

One issue they face here is that for most flights, the time wasters aren't what happens once you are in the seat of the plane. It's everything that happens before that at the airport.

I don't think the spirit of OP's comment was 'take a year off to party'. It was, if you are going to pay a bunch of tuition because you want to party...don't.

I'm not sure why anyone would suppose that the issue is that Netflix doesn't KNOW you are sharing your password. Of course they know you are. The real issue is how does Netflix get the horses back in the barn when there are plenty

Facebook is the fax machine. The real danger FB finds themselves in is that the initial value prop (make and maintain your friendships with less friction) is LONG gone. Instead, they are relying almost entirely on the network effect now. Yo

On the other hand, if we take the last, say, 5,000 years of history, digital technology must be in the top 3 inventions that have most effected humanity. By way of cost-benefit analysis, I'd say that erring on the side of pontification

the 3D to 2D projections happening in realtime engines don't 'curve' anything the way a real lens does. A fisheye lens in real life will turn some straight lines into curves, you'd never see that in a video game (unless

It doesn't help that this kind of 'cutesy millennial' speech pattern has been co-opted by corporations trying to appear friendly and 'hip'. It seems almost reflexively non-genuine when used now.

Inflation is still a huge issue. The last numbers we got indicated 8% inflation. The fed target is 2%. That means that not only are people seeing huge decreases in buying power, but the fed is going to have to continue putting the hurt on t

I think the more important factor here is internal body temperature, and if people living in colder climates exhibit the sorts of adaptations related in the article. It's quite possible to be outdoors in very cold conditions and have

Given Amazon's reliance on consumer data and metrics, as well as their past behavior with alexa and echo I find this viewpoint to be almost stubbornly naïve.

I think that's valid, however, I think the modular approach would allow for a lot more cross domain flexibility because I suspect that a large subset of disparate tasks do actually decompose themselves into discrete subtasks that can b
