The dead side of A Video Standard [0] was white opaque plastic. Still a physical side, but not a readable one obviously. Closest I’ve seen to a single-sided disc. [0] https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/10498/LD-101&#

Fully agree that these ads were hardly unique in their prescience. Reminds me of how AT&T failed alongside General Magic in deploying a commercial network experience that ignored the browser. [0] My guess is this was the initial vision

There’s a charm to treating talent as some elusive gift bestowed on others. It elevates the mystery and power of what’s written; you can really get lost in the flow of words. But rest assured, you too given enough reading, writing, and coll

From the annals of scientific discovery, can we point to anything that was "always obvious"?
