My environment isn't "badly lit". I just don't want bright, flickering light blasted into my eyes at my expense. I even block natural light using sunglasses when I go outside! Once upon a time I stared at the Sun for a s

Here's an aspect of this I never see mentioned: DARK MODE SAVES BATTERY on mobile devices. The screen uses energy to emit light. The less light it has to emit, the less energy it needs. The longer your battery lasts.

All the unfinished work begins to come together as a coherent whole, at some point. Concepts join, ideas merge, good parts stay and not so good parts fall off. Everything you've ever started is leading up to something. It'll come.

I disagree - that just leads to learning to distract oneself. The most effective method in my experience is to do nothing instead of the thing you want to stop doing. Literally, stop the thing you're doing, do not transition into doing

I will most certainly not hand something as vital to me as my notes to some unrealiable cloud provider that advertises "no commitments" and provides no guarantees for persistence! A colleague fell for this kind of thing and lost e

How about public transport? It makes a substantial difference that I can pull up the route suggestion and station timetable from my pocket always-on always-connected supercomputer to know to the minute when I need to start tieing my shoes t

That's also the difference between raster and vector modeling of virtual geometry. There is an area on a graph where one literally takes less space on a computer's memory than the other, for representing essentially the same infor

So what about subatomic particle scale? Would it look like particles spontaneously appearing and disappearing? Quantum tunneling through obstacles? (they actually went around in another dimension)

Actually your simple reduction doesn't hold, which is the very reason I stopped playing Animal Crossing: If you perform NO input, the game STILL responds. i.e. If you don't play, the game still simulates its world. Weeds grow, tow

Why would you evolve the necessary organs to sexually reproduce with your self, with no one else around?

Far too low for what, exactly? Buying real estate, cars, expensive clothing, huge TVs and investments? If you suddenly lose a well-paying job, food and housing still cost the same for everyone, which you can afford on UBI, by design. You&#x

Yes. And the "universal" part makes it UNCONDITIONAL on receive, which is the important part. It removes the necessity for a government institution to decide per individual how much they are eligible for. Much money is saved. Sinc

Eh? People will harvest food to not starve. You don't even have to pay them.

Well, I don't know. A decent tablet goes for $300. I could see myself paying +33% for significantly increased battery life. On mobile devices, the screen eats most of the battery charge, therefore also contributing most to the battery&

There would also be less food waste if the stores just, you know, gave away the products about to spoil to people who, you know, aren't rich enough to be picky about their bananas.

The funny thing is, aluminum is even more toxic than plastic is, so they fix one mistake with another :)

Not sure about US, but in EU citizen accounts are insured up to EUR 100k. So it doesn't matter if banks fail.

Your water simulation example isn't impressive. It doesn't splash nor wave. It's just a simple rippling, refracting surface.

But we are not talking about the DMCA system. We are talking about YouTube's own system that is not DMCA and for which they are not required to provide due process.

A Nokia with Android One certainly has less bloatware than most cheap phones, but you WILL still get pestered by Google Assistant incessantly. There's no way to turn it off. No matter how many settings you disable, it will always pop u

I've long wanted a whole game around that. Proper procedural stuff floating around.

How do old devices without Internet connection recognize new IDs registered after their manufacture? Clearly, there's no ID, but rather some kind of protocol for negotiating voltage levels.

Aren't you describing a dictatorship? In communism, the state owns things, but the state can be the people; i.e. democratic communism. Isn't communism just the absence of private property? (that is, everything is public property)

Every major outbreak that the news media exploded about in the past decades - bird flu, swine flu, etc. Every one I got, had a little fever for a few days, and then continued my life as if nothing happened. So why would I get vaccinated? On
