Assuming your core strength is to produce valuable content, you can view it in one of three ways (from the perspective of monetization): - As the product. Sell access, early access or extra partial access to it. - As a loss leader. Use it t

It took a bit of back and forth before it understood I wanted it to not know. But the final answer made me slightly less worried about its ability to impersonate humans (for another few days of training, at least): > Sure! As a human who

That's a good point. Juniors are valuable, but only if there is sufficient scaffolding for them to grow and be led towards the most valuable work. Otherwise you're doing everyone a disservice.

Do you use it regularly? If so, have you just accepted the motion sickness as a cost of doing business (and/or gaming)?

Anecdotally, raw performance helps a lot. I tried the old Oculus dev kit almost 10 years ago, and it left me unbalanced, nauseated, and generally feeling sick for the rest of that day. Now I regularly use my Quest 2 with zero ill effect. Th

Thank you! At the end of the day, you have to raise your children in a way that's comfortable to you. Even if there were a scientifically "correct" template for raising every child, your own discomfort will shine through if i

You're right, and every situation has nuance we can only intuit. Ultimately, I believe active play is important for his well-being, just like it's important that I take him places even if that involves a potentially lethal bicycle

I prefer for him to not break bones. If an activity is 50% likely to involve bone-breaking, I'll step in. But if that really is the worst that could happen, and is unlikely to do so, then I'll try not to.

When I get nervous from what my kid is doing and feel an urge to tell him to stop, I try to ask myself "what's the worst that could happen". If the answer is "break a bone", I try to stop myself from saying anything

Many work devices are also personal devices. I have an employer-issued phone, and my income tax interprets that as a "benefit". I could avoid that by claiming I don't use it for personal reasons, and instead buy my own separa

The problem isn't that CEOs don't get punished. The problem is when they virtue signal with "I'm sowwy " and claim responsibility without accepting accountability.

The only reason music streaming is so cheap is because it's a commodity. There's several multi-billion dollar corporations all competing with largely identical products. There's not much else than price to compete on. Video s

I think just dropping the free accountability statement would help. It's not so much the lack of responsibility, it's the accompanying false humility that annoys people. Or even better, back your words with actions. Like the Ninte

The actual statement by Ek contains: "I take full accountability for the moves that got us here today." Interestingly, responsibility is usually used as a get-out-of-jail-free phrase, while accountability literally means that you

Does that actually benefit you though? Is it more efficient for you to wade through a chatbot or wait for a human to respond rather than read the documentation?

When I need live chat support, it's because I've already exhausted the help center and can't find my answer elsewhere. I really do need to speak with a human. Fortunately, many chatbots in my experience will indeed switch ove

This is beautiful. Made me realize one of the biggest things that the Hearthstone online TCG got right. The overall handling of the cards, especially when opening packs, is very well done and almost feel tactile. Many online TCGs just take

I had no idea there was a sequel to the GB Pokémon TCG Game! Loved the first one as a kid. There is an online version of the TCG, that might do something for you (disclaimer: it didn't do much for me).
