You two are a step ahead of me. Been really enjoying Manjaro Sway edition the last couple years on a Framework laptop. I am in line for the AMD Frameworks and considering whether its arrival is the ideal moment to dive into NixOS. What do y

The most realistic game of pinball physics-wise for me is Zaccaria. Its selection is of uneven quality. I recommend sticking to the historical solid state and electro mechanical tables, over the deluxe or remakes. My favorite table is proba

As a counterpoint to this for science fiction, I recommend Denis Villeneuve's Arrival.

That was an enjoyable short, thank you. I see why you were reminded of it. I would normally be wary of the nanny slippy slide we are on, but could make exception for irresponsible driving enforced by the vehicles themselves instead of falli

I think you have distilled this to an accurate origin. Those who are driven to improve wish to live an intentful life pursuing their explicit goals. I would however challenge the corollary that that is an objectively more enjoyable life. I

To certainty and swiftness, and to reduce burden on the police, I'd like to see an experiment: Cars that self-report for minor traffic infractions. Many new cars already phone home various information useful for profit. You'd get

They'd lose trust being so overt. A more subtle influence is that your suggestions would include sites nearby a McD at the expense of ones that don't. After months of gathering sales data from McD they'd ring up Burger King t

See also allegory Plato's Cave. I think I'll sign off the world wide carnival for today.

You might enjoy the IL-2 Flying Circus series in particular, done by many of the former Rise of Flight team. The WWI era dogfights suit VR very well. Also have a look at VTOL VR if you're interested in using motion controllers for all

I was interested initially but lost it halfway due to the dozens of Twitter embeds throughout, often out of context and distracting to the article's premise. Reminded me of broadcast television.

Should be past tense. What Meta is engaging in now is akin to chemotherapy.

Wasn't funny the first time and it's not insightful. HN is better without.

I am bemused that the approach here is to pull teams out of wherever they are closest to the products receiving these features and into their own top level. Zuckerberg enumerates what the objectives are (bots, assistants, image filters, etc

The US is plenty culpable. That assassination was one among a number of clandestine actions of Operation Condor, for which the US collaborated with South American nations to disrupt left-leaning movements across the continent.

Until such build out happens, disincentivizing landlord squatting is where the rubber meets the road from the policy tools available.

You've framed tenants as a liability rather than an important part of the housing ecosystem, combined with treating second/third/fourth homes as investment vehicles instead of alternatives. I sympathize with how eviction poli

There's a material difference between shelter and gaming peripherals.

Your analogy doesn't hold, because owning and neglecting such items doesn't prevent someone else from having them. Property speculation is so runaway that landlords are keeping properties vacant because they hope to make more mone

This wouldn't affect those who live in their homes, or even those who have a property with less than three units.

Is it not wasteful for each of our cells to contain genetic code for the whole of the organism? Any particular cell only expresses a tiny subset of that code. Are there any organisms that don't follow this approach? On the other hand,

The Neil Postman quote resonates with me for how I learned Spanish. I moved to Buenos Aires and took three weeks of intensive formal education and would have gone longer were it not for the fact that I had built up a sufficient enough under

two things can be true here. our model of incentivizing change is still steeped in a crudely market driven and politically corrupt set of levers. that's the global system we've inherited. the other thing that is true is that the p

That's very different theory than what I was anticipating. I feel that I have internalized a similar concept in my learning from a very young age. It intuitively makes sense, but can be easy to slip out of particularly if I'm not
