In my limited experience with it, and not being a gamer, I think it has great potential for mindfulness and quasi-psychedelic experiences. I tried a simulation of scuba diving and after a minute felt my whole body and mind relax into a peac

Thinking out loud here... In a world of self-driving cars, maybe speeding will be less like a fine and more like a toll. So if you want to go over the speed limit, you pay a toll to the local municipality for the right to do so.

Ugh. I inherited a project that was needlessly broken into two repos and it's been a constant source of irritation.

The irony of that post is it doesn't use any of the persuasion tricks he talks about. I almost wonder if it was meant as a parody.

I was in New York during Hurricane Sandy. I was staying in a hotel and the power was out. The morning after the storm I went outside to see what was going on. There was a big CNN truck with a dish and a big crowd. I thought "maybe the

I've actually made a couple of small killings in the last few years. I had one bomb (lost 20%) and even though I'm still up really well, I'm moving everything to index funds because that one loss eats at me.

The female condom is both underused and underrated. I tried some on a whim and a) the sensation is definitely better b) they seem less likely to break (thicker material) and c) much less likely to fall off. The only downsides are a) they&#x

The apparatus that thinks suicide is an option (the sufferer's brain) is any many cases not the best apparatus to make that decision. There are some rational reasons for suicide, such as severe chronic pain, but most of the time they a

I don't understand how this is even possible. It seems to me that the plaintiff should have no say in how you pay for damages save perhaps being able to ask for a public apology.

Broadcast.com was more like corporate earnings calls on the Internet. Real Networks was radio (or more accurately audio) on the Internet.

I watched a few episodes but could not get into it. Too breathless. The kind of people Silicon Valley rightfully mocks.

My gut feeling is his support for Trump has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with throwing a gigantic wrench in the works. In the best case it leads to a realignment of the electorate. In the worst case a lot of things go to h

This was my biggest issue with Obamacare. It did nothing to increase price transparency. More broadly, I think the discussion needs to move away form health "insurance" because what we're really talking about is health care

Yes it is a basic security tenant. But sometimes you're working with a legacy API and/or a bad auth mechanism. Not every project is greenfield or is maintained by senior devs.
