As the cofounder of a heavily HVAC-related tech company, I can echo that this is indeed nowhere near a new idea. Many large commercial buildings already do something similar, but instead of blowing cool, humid air through the structure, the

I came here to say it wasn't a robot, but you beat me to the punch. I wonder how small they could have made it if it were 100% self-contained.

It's meant to be rhetorical; of course being born makes you worthy of survival! But what if working doesn't provide you enough sustenance? And what if you don't even have the opportunity in the first place, once the demand fo

I disagree with the author here on UBI. The root of the issue goes deeper than deciding to prop up job markets so that there is enough supply of jobs to meet the demand. Based on the arguments in the article, this can only be a temporary fi

This seems a lazy and weak argument (verging on assertion) to me. Can you please elaborate; what is essentially lacking from the right to control one's own wealth that is present in the other basic human rights you enumerate?

> having to crane your neck around to see what's going on sounds like a PITA This is a step too far in my opinion. You already have to "crane your neck around" to see what's going on in the real world, all around you

These seem to me, at least, to be a clever, premium re-branding of hearing aids. I found myself wanting some despite having only moderate (if detectable) hearing loss, especially for the ability to focus in on a conversation in a loud envir

This applies to an even greater extent in a highly resource-constrained environment (such as my startup). My job is as much about what I choose NOT to do as it is about what I actually decide to take on; as .5 of only 1.5 software engineers
