Transporting water to grow food isn't default a bad idea, if growing in one place is better than another and makes up for the transportation costs. Growing in warmer climates means crops are less likely to be lost due to frost, and it

It's incredibly stupid to leak like this, plus it's a real f-you to the people working on the stuff. If I were on a product that got leaked I'd be pissed seeing my unfinished work out there. Looking at this person's past

I love this, it’s like the purest form of a game: just the rules and a way to access them. Large multiplayer games are already as much communities as they are games, so why not let the community build the UI they want? Besides, we’re alread

I imagine influencers are far more parasocial than social. Acting involves attunement with fellow actors and being part of a larger creative process and work. It's a lot of showing up in person and figuring out how to work with others.

It sounds like you're expecting others to provide complex-but-accurate advice when OP and most of the responders are happy with simple-and-implementable advice. A lot of the discourse around diets comes down to tension between these tw

In case one is using this info to make purchasing decisions, 3nm is a big improvement from today's leading edge 5nm process in speed, density, and power consumption [1]. We've been on 5nm variants for about 4 years now, and though

Semiconductor tooling is of a level of complexity that there's a huge amount of skill, institutional knowledge, process, and some art in getting them doing what you want at yields that pay off and on fast schedules . Lead is maintai

Agree that learning from past efforts can be helpful, but I think you're shooting things down way too early here. I'm not seeing any specific critique you're making about mouth-based input being a bad pursuit, in fact the thr

This would also work great as a non-verbal, non-hands communication device. Currently research is being done in Subvocal Recognition [1] but it's very imprecise and can essentially only get to yes/no answers. Imagine using this al

Same setup here. Hoping for even more input devices in more places to spread the load. For instance there's also some folks building ergo keyboard with trackpads near the thumbs to replicate the MacBook experience of a trackpad below s

Heat pointer is great and I really hope Apple follows it up with building proper eye tracking hardware and software into Macs & iDevices. It's such a great opportunity to improve UX and reduce RSI for everyone by sharing the load a

Not really. Roam is way out on a limb on its assumptions of how involved users want to be in the structuring of data, and is targeting the completely opposite audience to Apple: deep power users instead of maximal approachability. If I were

100%, somehow iOS/MacOS do exactly the wrong thing when it comes to handling audio streams. Two more: 1. when you turn on your car and it connects to iPhone via BT, it just starts playing what was last played in Apple Music, even if yo

I'm actually quite excited by this, or at least the potential of this. The first and most exciting part of this is the ability to have a 'day in the life' consolidated ledger of our activities on device, across all app experi

This could have been a lot better. Good premise but the author seems to want to make some relatively unsupported points rather than digging into some real interesting questions within the premise. The piece missing to me was that they basic

These days there's lots of gen z influencer types who could very easily afford airpods or beats or pixel buds or whatever and choose to use the basic white wired headphones. Airpods have been around since 2016, so some kind of low late

If all you need is a short term cache of ephemeral things that won't matter in a year, Google Keep is probably fine. If you want something that you invest in that stores thoughts and ideas that you want to go back to later, I'd us

Smart move to go for the more casual user, it suggests Obdev has been doing their homework and proactively talking to regular users, rather than just blindly building feature requests. Tools like this so often get sucked into serving the lo
