Interviewing Nick Bostrom was cringe worthy. I don't know what Joe was trying to achieve - maybe forming an argument against the simulation theory? But it was so bad. The youtube comment section is amusing. But mostly Joe gets it spot

Bingo! Correct answer. Anyone can learn to 'act' ... I got into teaching to help myself be more confident infront of adults. It turns out that groups of strangers are perfectly normal people, and there isn't anything to worry

Someone is going to cover the Sahara with solar panels and make some serious cash. Bonus points for automating the production of solar panels out of sand.

Been laid off a few times. Mostly businesses run out of money and the IT department are first to go. You can run a business on old IT with an old website, no need for those pesky webdevs. Moved from code monkey to lecturer. More stress. Mor

Living in the UK, I think AR for walking apps would be neat. Label all the routes, the interesting ruins, old settlements etc. Looking out to sea for wrecks, sea life, label ships and aircraft. Then put pokemon GO into the mix and it'd

I dunno, we have voluntary insurance for kitesurfing. Why not? Insurance companies will do it pretty cheap.

I doubt the police would stop you. I can't believe you won't use one if it saves that much time! Be brave!

I see how it measures distance and direction, but how does it estimate height? Are there multiple antennas in the phone?

Are gun laws a bug in the system, fixable albeit a hard bug to fix. Or, as I suspect, a design flaw that is impossible to fix. So you have to patch around it.

The SE has those lovely square edges. New phones are too curved and slippery, like a bar of soap

Lots of people think lile you, gambling todays poor behaviour on solutions that MAY come tomorrow, next week or never. We need to change today. But it’s very hard.

... $10?! Really? Can we hook one up to a Raspberry Pi? This would be a game changer for my sport (kitesurfing)

Oh yeah - radar! Duh, I was thinking lazers or something.

That was really amazing. I've been following it closely on YouTube but to see it actually fly - mind boggling! Not quite clean room facilities. The nose blew over in a storm. Locals streaming video from cameras mounted on telegraph pol

I've heard very similar tales. A local lad who works at a very large meat processing factory, McDonalds buy the cheapest meat possible. Other chains buy middle of the range meat.

Minor point: not everyone is American. Some countries are democratic without the need to bear arms.

You’re being down voted, but you raise a valid point. We are helpless. Even our first world governments are helpless to save the amazon. It’s just so damn sad.

The UK is pretty far behind France in the water department. I talked to a French couple who had just got off the beach and were looking for showers and drinking water. There are none at our local beaches. When they asked where they could go

Have you thought about using AI instead of parts of the government? There must be a lot of bits that can be automated. Do you think that an AI led government could remove the left/right divide that there is at the moment? If everyone j

Me and the kids played for hours, but there were some parts that were far too frustrating. I often ran out of those stupid red crystals and couldn't find any on the planet. So I'd be stuck there for hours and hours just dying and

No one I talked to was surprised. I've always thought it was pretty neat. As a human I tag people in my photos, I let the machine do the boring stuff (this photo contains trees)

Triangular UFOs are interesting. When i was at work one day, (we work on top of a large hill that overlooks land to the horizon) I see a triangular UFO light up and fly slowly towards us. I tell my colleagues, but they are surprisingly not
