I see one potential downside of this, as a Netflix subscriber I do find the frequent shuffle and changes of cover art confusing sometimes as it makes you feel there is a new film coming out but in fact you've already watched it.

The impact to well-being necessary for affording spending more time in nature could be large too. E.x. the extra few million dollars of price tag of living among trees in the Bay Area.

The author sees this as a problem and the solution is a new revolution but didn’t realize the underlying problem might be we are constantly seeking the next revolution, or to refuse to accept the horror of people stop buying stuff.

If owning a home becomes the new anomaly and living/working on roam is the new norm, would fixed housing eventually be devalued for the main population?

I feel that somehow this also changed how adults process pain and happiness. Now I have a million other questions - are adults seeking psychedelic as a result of fatigue or emotional boredom, as a method to revive imagination?

It seems like the filtration theory still produced by far the most significant impact to our current understanding of psychedelic effects. What I was surprised to learn was most research in this domain clearly distinguish adult and non-adul

Just wait until some student will start wearing a specific T-shirt to trick the camera - oh wait - everyone needs to wear the same uniform too.

“Be among the first to know when Google One is available in your area” made me think why they're rolling out the service based on Area? Wonder if it is due to technical reasons or demographic reasons, or it is still in the process of &

This makes me think that maybe mantis shrimp relies on powerful sensor to see the world but doesn't have a lot of good software / internal hardware to do further processing. Human's eye sensor seems poor compare to the ones o

I think you probably want to have a short blurb / cover letter paragraph in the beginning of the resume, and explain why you were doing the stints.

1. Some links on the resume (github, portfolio, linkedIn) return 404 or access denied. This is suprisingly common. 2. Little facts / actual performance data, and over use of words such as "passionate", "strong", &qu

Updated my comment to make it a bit more clear. I guess I was wondering about what it all means to cast a "real" image on social media anyway.

What if you do have the money and could indeed make time and also want to do a lot of travel, have awesome friends, eat nice dinner, do weekend partying, and own all those things, but you are simply too lazy? A lot of the social media perso

One thing I never quite understood was - are today's rock / pop music in any way related to the development of classical music or branched off from it? It seems like classical music keeps developing into the post modern era and is

To put things in perspective, the comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, is about 4km in diameter, moving at 135,000kms per hour. Rosetta's rendezvousing with the comet required travelling a cumulative distance of over 6.4 billion kms.

480p at 10fps at 16ft is really incredible. That's enough distance to put cameras all over cars to sense environments around it. My first immediate thought is to retrofit old cars with lane-changing assist camera with this in traffic.

I can't imagine how painstaking it is to do every frame through the panning camera backdrop, and the amount of work gone through the planning phase. It definitely seems like Disney invented interesting technologies back then.
