Besides literal physical danger another aspect I’ve been thinking about is the counterculture of activities that simply aren’t optimized for the production of media native to the internet. Meditation or maybe partner dancing for example. Th

They are the same content, but they’re not the same product at all. You could say that all TikTok does is repackage content for wider distribution across the app in a more aggressive way than social apps had before.

If you extend this idea past political and policy issues I still have the general impression that people are looked down upon for changing their mind. I think we can widen the definition to include any surprising new ideas a person holds th

I’m thinking about accuracy when looking at google maps. So do you mean that the length and orientation of the borders is the least distorted with the Mercator projection? I’m actually not sure how a different projection would distort a cou

I feel like you actually stated the problem but then glossed over it. Mercator is UX optimized for naval navigation . Besides street navigation (where projection is irrelevant) I would posit that most people use maps for human geography re

if harmful/harmless were the real test, the government would ban alcohol. But that’s not the real reason. Just like drug laws everywhere, it’s more about controlling a certain demographic of the population (i.e. poor people) The fact t

yeah, I like the vibe of these shops too but maybe there’s a bit of japan fetishization for a kind of commerce that anywhere else wouldn’t make sense to have. One of the reasons for the Japanese economy’s stagnation over the last 20+ years

I’ve played around with ableton before- im wondering what are the high-level aspects of a DAW that take up that compute? Off the top of my head if you have like 10 channels of synths, what in there is super intensive? What does freezing tra

To me this is the main problem with F1 as a sport. In football and basketball you can see most of the important strategy play out on the field. In F1 you are always left guessing which hidden aspect of the engineering is affecting the outco
