I'd have to say that any small heat source might make this technology quite workable. Even conducting a bit of heat from your head to the glasses frame, to the lens coatings, perhaps?

This is from October, but it's not paywalled like the Dec. 6 NYT article. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33890085 ) There, Proton AG representatives describe 2022 as a running battle against government blocks in

Heck yeah! But actually, I'm thinking a nice framed picture might be pretty nice.

This is almost certainly custom stationary; we called it Letterhead. Even before computers. You get it from a print shop, you roll it into your typewriter, and start typing. And try not to waste it, it's expensive! https://e

This is so right. I'm biased too - saw it with so many of my STEM friends from the '70s.

"Lights of Zetar" - first episode I ever saw; don't think I was even a teenager. (Didn't always get to stay up that late.) Scared the heck out of me... Not sure if it was really that great. Maybe because it was so dark o

Ah, that sucks. You might try: Chrome + NoScript (default settings, with only google.com allowed to run scripts). Works on original and archive sites. The old Kill Sticky wipes out the banner - javascript:(function()%7B(function () %7Bv

I suppose all those subtitle sites aren't exactly legal either, but I don't see them going anywhere.

Anyone remember "SuperStop"? Loved that. NoScript does ok, but animated GIF's are still a pain.

I suppose that'd be anything except five 8-hour blocks of time, one each day of five in a row, always at the same times of day.

Chrome + NoScript (win10). No ads. But, from word of mouth, UBlock Origin is more consistent.

I wonder if we'd really notice a difference?

Especially in a conference room; OMG the boredom. I'd always try to bring a technical manual or something, for when I got tired of being "a good boy."

Love that opener, ...Descartes thought that the brain was a kind of hydraulic pump, propelling the spirits of the nervous system through the body. Freud compared the brain to a steam engine. The neuroscientist Karl Pribram likened it to a

I agree with most everything in the article. But, in some situations open plan can actually make for an OK experience. For example, in the opening pic, there is a sea of table & chairs with monitors, etc. Yeah, that's awful if you&

Yup, many sites just read faster without the cruft. For me, everything has continued to get faster for the past 30 years. Better modems, service, dsl, cable. 15 years ago, installed button on browser at work to turn off scripting (all or no
