I don't know how it is done for certain, but with absolute control of the client you could send any information back to Youtube that you wanted. So if all Youtube was requesting was that the minimal amount of time of ads be watched bef

I wonder if the newer generation of gamers can form connections from MMO style guilds like the past generation of gamers did. Everything that I've seen from young gamers today suggests that their motivations for playing games is quite

There are other business models that aren't ads though.

Social media is also bad for adults. It's a lot harder to prevent adults from making bad choices for themselves than it is for kids.

So they are trying to strong arm people into paying for a subscription by giving them a worse experience with ads until they do. Paying for it at that point is just letting Microsoft know that they were successful and should continue to im

There is no way to know what people will find interesting. There is a healthy gap between someones content being absolutely not worth reading and being professional. I think more people should have hobbies and they should write about their

I started a random blog of my own for no particular reason recently. Even if nobody reads it I think I enjoy the whole 90s internet vibe of people having individual personal websites. Everyone being on Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon or whereve

That sounds much more like that recent Cyberpunk 2077 anime with the cyber-psychosis problem when using too many body enhancements.

Meatspace. I don't think any digital platform is ever going to fill that role. By default anything online is already way less genuine feeling.

That would depend on what you mean, but I'm pretty sure the answer is yes in any regard. From an artistic perspective it is still beautiful and might be even more beautiful than some modern more digital animated movies. From a science

I would if I could. Living in the midwest with no public transportation and work being a 20 minute drive away makes it impossible. I'd love for them to rip out every road in the country and replace them with trains somehow.

I give it a few years before GamePass is as much a month as a full price game and the only way to make it a good deal is to convince yourself they you were going to buy at least one full priced game a month anyway.

Maybe from an artistic perspective, but not from a financial one. It will inevitably mean gamers will spend more money for less game. They might hide it will with their game renting service and microtransactions, but if this was not the cas

It's strange to see some gamers praise this acquisition as if it will have any positive effect on some of the games they enjoy. In no world will Microsoft decreasing the competition going to be a good thing for consumers.

This just made me realize I don't believe I've ever intentionally watched live TV my entire life.

I agree. A large number of people would be prevented from doing things with their phones and their email that are required for every day life now. They would upset a lot of people that would be forced to find alternatives to Google and like

I really like the idea of things coming back to meatspace as they call it. I feel like I've been far too online these past couple of decades and it has increasingly felt empty and meaningless compared to even minor interactions between

When science fiction mentions artificial intelligence it is almost always in reference to what we now call general artificial intelligence. Which is very different than the machine learning we now call AI.

Even the most sophisticated purpose made medical research tools can't do this in a way that you are imagining. If somehow Apple accomplished mind reading devices in their spare time I'd be so amazed that I'd actually not even

What about building a circular ship around a micro black hole? Or is that just real gravity and not anti-gravity?

Perhaps once nearly everyone who is going to have heard of you already has it is better to be readable than quirky. Or it is like how all the fast food restaurants of the past have gotten more utilitarian in their designs because the userba

Solar farms don't produce toxic fumes or excessive noise. I think they also look cool. I've never been near a wind turbine so I don't know what it would sound like. Maybe don't put one 10 feet from my front door and I&#x

I know some people that lost a ton of money on this. It was definitely one of the weirdest things I've seen someone get absolutely convinced of. Any evidence that was contrary to what they already believed was more proof in their eyes
