I'm not saying that you shouldn't tell me how to feel; I don't care about feelings about this. This is about rights, not feelings. I'm saying I'm going to participate in these discussions, because unlike you, I

There are mindless and insane people who live perfectly normal and healthy lives. Putting safety rails on everything in society isn't something we do for them; their actions are still their own, and we generally accept that as a soci

Yes, depression isn't constant for everyone. That doesn't mean a person isn't responsible for their own decisions, and it doesn't mean the state should step in to force them out of their decisions. Especially without o

This is a terrible, substanceless article. Nowhere within does it offer anything more than vague abstracts, all the while keeping this bizarre idea that a "forum" that provides information is directly responsible for doing somethi

I agree with you that porn is disgusting, and that the people who view it are immoral. However, there are a lot of arguments to be made against capital punishment, murder, and other forms of vigilante violence. No nation with capital punish

Getty will send you a threatening letter demanding payment if you use a public domain image. They were previously sued by someone who received one of these letters for their own photograph. It is worth taking a long and hard look at wheth

Hot Wheels has cars with NFC chips in them, and they're only about $5 a car. You could teach him how to make a stats tracker to compare his favorite cars, see which are the fastest, and which perform the best over time, with a cheap NF

It's actually a song by SR-71; the Bowling for Soup version is a cover. The two versions have slightly different lyrics, and SR-71's feels slightly more urgent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sy8ulwexfY

Why would anyone bother when you're stripped of your career for life if you try and organize collective action as an ATC? It's a sacrifice of a good deal of freedom and submitting yourself to malevolent companies and a government

It's actually a big difference. One feels downright euphoric, according to Desoxyn users. The other is a boring study drug. https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-mo...

Anecdotally, it's great in VR. It's actually become a regular habit for me; there's nothing quite as cool as watching a 3D movie with a friend who's a country away on a giant screen. This wasn't the case when FOVs w

This doesn't actually seem extravagant: Assuming they bought (or rented), rather than built, their office, they probably just had a bunch of extra space. Even if they didn't, only a company expecting growth to completely die would

The Switch is the fifth best selling console of all time. That's not at all a fair comparison, especially given the difference in price point and how long the Switch has been on the market. On the other hand, it's plausible that

Yes, because you don't have to be "on" 24/7. An author selling to conventional media can take a vacation, because their compensation isn't drip-fed.

I know a couple authors who get paid in this fashion. They all lament how it's immensely stressful, how they can never take a vacation, and how there's always a constant fear that their revenue source will be taken out by not bein

I like Palmer quite a bit (his work is very important to me) and know little of his politics and even I'll admit this post skeeved me out a little bit. It's an assisted suicide machine, and he made it in real life. It's cool

That sounds genuinely awful and detestable. "Oh, you're bored of a tenth of a gigabyte of React and TypeScript every time you load a web page? Here, we're going to ship you the entire browser every time you reload!"

It's pretty much impossible to automate satisfactorily, or Google would almost certainly have done it, since they as a company seem to hate human interaction. There are a lot of ways to format a number, and there are a lot of addresses

Since you've left the timeline ambiguous, and didn't say if you'd enabled the 120hz mode or even been on a late-enough update to the system software to use it, your comment isn't that useful.

Yes, I'm aware of what they're saying. It is indeed the default for most VR applications. I can't think of a VR application that uses a global volume for voices; it's all local and diminishes based on distance from sourc

Both of you should know that there are multiple applications that already solve this problem in VR! Most of the "social" chat applications and most of the "professional" chat applications have proximity-based chat volume
