Narayanan (~randomwalker) is writing a book about, & with likely title, "AI Snake Oil". Of course there's plenty of BS around the domain – every epochal advance arrives inside a phalanx of pretenders & hypesters &

Ticketmaster has monopolistic dominance here, yes. However, the strongest monopoly involved is Blink-182 themselves, with absolute control over how they sell "Blink-182" live performances. They may be quite happy with some other b

In some hypothetical hot conflict where a major belligerent nation had already started taking down satellites and/or polluting orbits, the treaty will have already become a 'dead letter'.

Hmm, was hoping for something more like a Big-5 or Meyers-Briggs analysis, not as rah-rah horoscopy.

This research, & further your comment, makes me wonder: Customized cars often project vanity mood lighting down towards the pavement. (I believe the legality of such nonstandard lighting varies across jurisdictions.) Perhaps motorcycles

Indeed - similar to how narrower streets & traffic circles can reduce accidents by demanding more driver attention. Perhaps, even next-generation lighting could be dynamic, brightening or otherwise modulating when on-vehicle sensors det

OK, Generation X BBSers are now officially rechristened "Generation AT".

Same here & concur. Even the AT commands weren't typically called "AT protocol". It's even more valuable for people to be challenged, & upgrade their skill, at context-based disambiguation than to further ossify

If only there were a crypto-literate news outlet capable of putting this sort of thing in context like that. Say, a news-desk specializing in crypto-coin topics. They could call it coin-news, or crypto-desk, or something like that!

Other sources report the only 'days' delay was between block 0 and block 1 – and thus likely an idiosyncratic effect of the launch. Apparently, also, there were a few more >20hr blocks in the 1st half of 2009, when interest was

It definitely sucks when you feel stuck in the wrong niche, or a low-performing organization. In such cases, the most important thing is to realize the locality of the problem, & the potential to move to a new niche, or organization.
