That's very interesting finding. I can see how people buy the reusable bags more frequently than might be originally though. I often forget that I brought my bags in from my car and have to mentally remember to keep a couple in my trun

The problem is one more unique to being a walker in a city. You're out and about, maybe just walking to the park or something so you brought nothing with you, but the park you like is a 15 minute walk from your apartment. Near the park

I've thought about this a little bit and wonder if the result CJK readers have ended up with is the result of a few interesting historic quirks. Assuming that homophones are simply going to exist in the languages, there's probably

I remember this time. I worked for a small b2b startup at the time and one of my coworkers left to take a better offer at another company that week. The company he went to laid him and everybody else off that same week. He ended up in the l

A video with some of the interior - https://youtu.be/S-Wmk7mCjLo I'm really interested in the reuse of this terminal which sat vacant for many years. Are there ideas here for reuse of other large defunct structures?

What's really interesting is that this has almost always been a debate. Back in the 80s, the average microcomputer could basically do nothing by today's standards. But they were still faster than a human. They were so fast in fa

If you are an acquirer, and you suspect that the company you are planning to acquire is likely to go under, it can often be cheaper to wait for that event then buy up IP, and hire as many staff as you can for continuity. For example, see Bi

The governance structure is advertising. "trust us, look we're trustable" is intended to convince people to use what they are building. But the structure is expensive and risky, tossing it aside once traction is made is the p

It's a supply/demand problem. There's an endless number of of people who want to be animators, but relatively few positions. So the pay is crap. This further reduces the budget of productions so that all kinds of junk can be

I've tried these before. They use directed air onto your hands hence the backpack. They do a pretty okay job at providing a sense of texture. So virtual objects have a surface feeling, but still no physical shape or resistance. The dem

I grew up in a family printing business. Printing is a manufacturing industry just like anything else, with equipment of various sorts at every step of the production chain. Even in the 80s, when the business was going strong, most of the

I've dealt with this before. We had a prior employee who stole a team's work and filed it himself. When it was discovered it raised a ruckus and it turns out you really can't "drop" a person from a patent without in

The subreddit /r/IBM is eyeopening about what a terrible place to work IBM is. Most of the posts seem to be by people trying to find ways to escape.

I ironically love this and think it's (un)intentially hilarious. It's basically everything people who think very seriously about infoviz warn about, crammed into a single terrible visualization on the subject of visualization. It&

Oh man, there is an absolute beauty with 1-bit graphics that I think is deeply underappreciated. When the right dithering algorithm is used, the graphics look like what characters in cyberpunk novels dream of. [1] I secretly wish the domina

Let's suppose that the hypest of the hype is real - that OpenAI is sitting on some world changing AGI tech. Are we really ready for the Cyberpunk future where corporate policies are enacted with the same force as law?

I personally think it's a distraction that we're using so many real-world sources as the source data. But arbitrarily detailed synthetic data, e.g. Nanite, Fractals, etc. can provide much more interesting spaces. I'm kind of

Beautiful information, but I can't help but think that this makes a subtle mistake in visualizing geographic information -- the thought that it needs to be on a map. This then creates the dependency that this then needs some kind of ti
