Stance for board sports is nearly even, one analysis shows 56% regular vs 44% goofy [1]. It's not like handedness at all. Not sure why one was designated "normal" and the other "weird" when it's so close. My

If you use OpenSCAD I highly recommend using BOSL along with it: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL/wiki . It's essentially a standard library for OpenSCAD full of incredibly useful things. For example, adding

That isn't a feeling though, it's a thing they think. It's a judgement on the actions of others.

The blue is nicer if you do that. Technology Connections has made 3 videos over the last 5 years mostly centering around how he hates the blue led lights used in holiday lights. I think I've only seen the 2 yr old one, but now that I

IDK seems fine to me. > we also wouldn’t express someone being very focused as “being on Adderall”, or a very creative idea as being “on shrooms” in a scientific publication. We don't because nobody does, and many people might not k

We must be thinking of different things because imo carbon taxes are the most direct way to internalize the externality. Crude oil, coal, and natural gas now cost more, proportional to their GHG potential, and the free market figures out ho

I think it's a little unfair to call people idiots for something that's extremely hardwired into their brains.

Yeah, that's literally what they said.

I can't be sure that other people feel in the same way that I do. I assume they do because they act like it and so I go along with it. If I can't be 100% sure that people feel in the same way that I do, then asking that same que

The warcraft 3 and StarCraft 2 custom maps line tower wars and winter maul wars fit that bill. You each have to build a maze as well as send units. Units increase your recurring income but also give fixed money for the opponent if they can

There are definitely people who will move every single thing out of a house in a weekend for free. That's how storage unit auctions are done, and buyers even pay for it.

They already have user contributed imagery. In parks, Google usually maps the paths but you can see dots off the paths for user added points.

Ads must be relevant to be shown. The casino ad would probably not be shown at all, but even if it were they would have to pay more than Sony.

I managed a Bitcoin mining operation a long time ago. We made machines that made 50% of their BTC in the first month of their operation, and the remaining 50% over the next 5 months. After that they cost more to run than they produced. The

Offering a non-zero level of trust to a corporation shouldn't be considered idiotic. What's really idiotic is defending a corporation's deceptive business practices by saying anyone who gets tricked is an idiot who deserved t

I used to feel that way, but eventually figured out a set of design principles that took care of the parts of the game that were stressing me out. Turning off biters, building with a main bus, making a mall for yourself, and building with e

I'm not suggesting it's deterministic. People have been saying that if driverless cars are safer than humans by any amount we should allow them. I'm saying they should be much safer than humans before we allow them. The p

The problem is that it's a different set of people who will die with self driving cars. Imagine the trolley problem but instead of 5 vs 1 it's 30,000 vs 29,000. The 30,000 people get hit by the trolley and die if you don't

I realize that, but 1 month vs 6 months? It's not just that the infrastructure is all different, ramping up on a codebase is extremely time consuming itself. You're going to have that at any other large tech company. If it'

IDK what your experience is, but in my experience at Google it would take about 6 months before I could consider someone "reasonably productive". Or maybe it takes about 6 months before I'm confident that they are actually u

I worked at Google in KIR for the past 5 years. You calling the working conditions "atrocious" is hilarious. This is why people call Googlers entitled.

True, but you can use that argument against most forms of entertainment. Books, movies, video games, DND, sports, etc... VR is just another thing people can do in their leisure time. Everyone here is freaking out "oh no, Facebook is g

You know what's worse than the world of ready player one? The world of ready player one where there is no VR. I don't think creating fully immersive VR is inherently bad.

This is so incredible! I just tried this out with a few of my models and I can vouch for the order of magnitude.
