Not exactly research, but reading The Culture Series by Iain Banks [1] has caused me to give a lot of personal thought on the subject. When AI is advanced enough to dominate everything and humans are left to just do whatever, what will the

As a rock climber, I can tell you that mental and physical fatigue are very distinct, very real things. But I'd have to say that before I got into climbing, I wouldn't have realized this. There are times when you are physically c

I don't understand why they are trying to block proxies, even using your logic. If they want to replace monopolies, then they should become they place everyone wants to use. If everyone in Country-X cut the cord and switched to Netfli

I was let go once from downsizing. I was scared too, but my boss gave me a simple pep talk I've never forgotten: You are better than you think you are. Do you really think that when you start "X" job, that you will be unabl

While most of us academics may be familiar with the problem here, it's moot in the end. No amount of education or public awareness will fix this. Our only hope are self-driving cars or other forms of transportation -- train, hyperloo

Yeah, that's not going to happen. The majority of "We the people" is made up of those who take the path of least resistance. Facebook, by doing things like this, will only hurt themselves. We've been down this road bef

This idea of explaining complicated things using only the most common words is horseshit. I don't know if that is exactly what this article was trying to do, but it's very annoying, and makes it even harder to understand. The fir

I too had my most enjoyable work experience when office'd with 2 or 3 other people. We grew close, shared music and work ideas, and I felt comfortable. We had our door open most of the time, but if it got too loud, we'd close it

That's awesome :) Chef Steps on YouTube show some examples of them just using ziplock baggies and a simple thermometer, so I tried that and it worked fine. Took some fiddling with my stovetop -- I had to use the weakest burner on the
