Sounds like he had lots of good people around him helping him. The technical aspects you mention are important. I have diplopia, and also close one eye. It gets worse in the evenings. I love paper books and own many, but all my reading now

I get it. Society is moving in the right direction at least. At one point, the bell curve had 3 sections: normal, genius, retarded. Now we have more gradients and some of them trigger help or maybe longer exam times. This causes over-diagno

The story Stephen Tobolowsky tells (and Byrne confirms) about how Tobolowsky inspired the song Radio Head, which gave the eponymous band their name, is so good and complex that a comment cannot do it justice. Google it and sink in if this i

The article (which is great) is written from the perspective of "large old established companies innovating". This is something that is fairly elusive even in the different environment of the rest of the western world, I think. St
