Yep! There was an episode of 99 Percent Invisible focusing on the sound design fakery in nature documentaries: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/sounds-natural/ Coincidentally, it also features the very lemmi

Pretty sure you've stumbled onto a more roundabout way of triggering this phenomenon: https://twitter.com/nostalgebraist/status/168657604180309606... Lots of experimentation in the thread if you're inter

Isn't the entire point of an NFT the fact that two users can't simultaneously possess it? I don't know if NFTs are the ideal approach but that seems like the one critique that doesn't apply.

Depending on your situation, a set of locking adjustable dumbbells (such as these: https://powerblock.com/product/sport-series/ ) might be a decent middle ground between the ideal gym and just doing bodyweight exer

Interesting--I recognized that animation style immediately, because she's also the creator of a Unity asset library called Shapes[1], (a "...real-time vector graphics library with high-quality line drawing and infinite resolution

The first thing that comes to mind is this old episode of Radiolab I listened to years ago, "Wild Talk", about the inter-species crosstalk in the jungle, which dramatically culminates with a researcher realizing that he was being

Did they, though? If I were to describe the finance industry, "trustworthy" and "well-regulated" would probably not be the first words I'd reach for. (EDIT: To be fair, I'm a pretty typical layman, and I might

I think that's a legitimate stance, but one way to put a silver lining on this writhing cesspool of dog-eat-dog bot-fuckery is to think of it as early-access alpha testing; ironing out exploits in the wild west before it's stable

can't speak for gruez, but a couple off the top of my head: -set standards that all members abide by, potentially bypassing "tragedy of the commons'-style coordination problems -share information which, in a more cutthroat en

My solution: Download DroidCam, use your phone's camera as a webcam. Night and day difference versus awful built-in laptop cameras, only takes a few minutes to pair the first time. Granted, the positioning is a bit annoying. If I did i

Slate Star Codex is, in my opinion, one of the best blogs on the internet, and this post seems like exactly the kind of advice that you're asking for: https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/02/20/writing-advice&

I cannot recommend the YouTube Channel "The Thought Emporium" highly enough, for this topic or many others. Self taught tinkerer/chemist/biohacker, his latest videos are primarily about gene editing.

I don't fully dispute your point, but 42 million divided by 900,000 is 46 dollars per worker per year. And, last I paid attention, my impression was that Uber was already hemorrhaging VC money. 42 million for the CEO strikes me as extr

Was just listening to a podcast today that went over this, a different pre-fab house startup whose killer app sounds like basically the software you're describing, or at least the first steps towards it. (Full disclosure, I haven'
