Unpopular opinion: I get a lot more value from the output of Spotify's owners than I get from billions of musicians. I only listen to hundreds of musicians and Spotify gives me those hundreds for $15/mo. Those hundreds change by 1

A key bit I pulled out: > It seemed a case of numbers fudging. In a valid fluid dynamics problem, the numbers plugged into the equation must correlate to the properties of the fluid being studied. But in attempting to draw an equivalence

Same here: mild muscle ache for the Pfizer booster. If I didn't know I'd had the booster the previous day, I would have attributed it to falling asleep on a lumpy part of my comforter or something, assuming I'd even noticed i

I'm triple-vaccinated, but I did it grudgingly, after reviewing as much data as I could. My prior is "public health is top priority for the powers that be and my individual health is not". Throughout this pandemic this has be

Not sure about the political and USA-centric part of this, but "People are self-sorting" really hits hard. I feel like people on Reddit, and to a lesser extent on HN, are trying now, more than ever before, to label and sort themse

Yes, each movie should aim to push the boundary out a bit. But you don't try to film Avatar in 1978 (without completely changing the scenes), because with puppets and matte paintings it'll be relatively unwatchable. 2D Lord of t

I don't think we need a shift back to practical FX or 2d animation in general. Only for those situations CGI can't handle yet. What we need is good stories and un ambitious effects that support those stories. The author touched o

No, this doesn't work. You'd have to be outside in summer sunlight with your shirt off to get enough. In the Northern Hemisphere about half the year it's impossible to get enough Vitamin D by going outside.

Unrelated, but whenever I try to use "reader view" in Safari on Rachel's blog, it's never an option. Anybody know why it wouldn't come up?
