Just pass mask rights. If we have no problem with privacy, it shouldn't be illegal to wear a mask in public.

The thing I love about MrBeast is that he's YouTube "Playing to Win" [0]. Google's YT algorithm is whatever it thinks makes Google the most money. "Doing YT right" is an oxymoronic statement, because YT doesn&#

No, because the whole point of game shows is they restrict how often someone wins the jackpot, to make it profitable. Afaik, all of MrBeast's stuff is conducted with the rule that at least 1 person is going to win the jackpot.

Non-profit construction firms with nationally guaranteed access to redevelop land and waive local zoning, subject only to nationally-set conditions, would help a lot of cities. The enemy is the same as it's always been: landowners. Se

iOS shines when you create something, for while someone has already created software to create. Desktop shines when you create something novel. It's as simple as that -- there are tons of things people have created really polished iOS

I have a soft spot in my heart for ahead-of-their-time or there-but-for-mismanagement game oddities. :-) There's also an alternative universe where the Japanese game industry cracked the MMO formula instead of Ultimate Online / Ev

The best use of mandatory service is long-calendar-time training. E.g. basic proficiency, vocabulary, and doctrinal knowledge Refreshing is a helluva lot easier than training, when you're simultaneously fighting an active conflict.

Heinlein got a lot of flak for Starship Troopers , in the wake of the Korean War and even prior to escalation in Vietnam. But he was not wrong that there's a fundamental difference in democratic outlook between someone who risks their

The right way to do this is what Jane's / EA started in 1999 -- individual games that contain code to hook into a unified larger world. It would have been branded "Jane's World War" and shipped with every subsequent

Windows/client AV tools have a who-watches-the-watchers problem. If you're trying to detect threats that exploit OS, you need to be even lower level. But if you're lower, then you're an even more inviting target. Unfortu

Why would you want to bring your desk into the kitchen or to the basket of laundry? Not being flippant -- I really think that's the big question. Current AR/VR (Vision Pro included) lets us do desk things at not-desk places, but w

I'd say Peloton is as fundamentally different... as you can get within the fitness category. Absolutely agreed: its an exercise bike with adjustable resistance and integrated, network-connected stats. In objective terms, not fundamenta

Exactly. Revolutions usually happen because the friction to adoption is near-zero. If so, your benefits can even be modest! The cost of using ChatGPT vs older chatbots was... nothing. Once there are downsides, people weigh them and you lose

That's the catch though: existing, screen-based solutions let your surround yourself with any environment you want. ("Some percent worse") What's fundamentally different about AR/VR is that it lets you do that... wh

There's a difference between "infinite percent better" (because it was non-existent before) and "some percent better." The fitness use case is a red herring and a software problem. Instilling motivation in people to

Those are all things you can already do! And big, nice screens are already very cheap. The Vision Pro's problem is that it lets you do something you can already do "some percent better." But "some percent better"
