Absolutely fantastic answer, thanks very much. Appreciated because I'm at a pretty good point in my life to minimise (or at least accept) preconceptions, and go and freely (re)interpret songs with a half-lifetime of experience behind m

Fellow P 7 Pro owner here: yeah the 8 Pro is better. Still wish I'd got something else, but at least audio through the USB-C port doesn't have a buzzing caused by the clock on the chip.

>Deltron 3030 (an album I liked a lot more when it was new than I do now) I only discovered Deltron 3030 a couple of years ago, fucking love it. Why do you like it less now? Is there a controversy around it or him?

Happy to find Ben Jordan's video here. He's done a few videos about just how bad Spotify (and others) are, and they're all very refreshing data-driven reviews of the industry, free from as much bullshit and bias as is possibl

Pretending a problem doesn't exist just because it has indirect chemical reactions instead of direct chemical reactions is dangerously stupid.

These are gorgeous. Can't go past this without a heads-up for Greg Egan's 2014 short story Seventh Sight , where the protagonists hack their (at the time bleeding-edge tech) eye implants, allowing them to be part of a vanishingly

>If an average csgo or valorant player were to play with framegen while the real fps was about 60 That's just it isn't. This stuff isn't "only detectable by profession competitive gamers" like many are proposing.

Damn, AUD$6.5k, that's WELL outside my range. I'm lucky here in Western Australia; it's relatively easy to get comparatively dark skies - I've not met any amateurs that have a cooled CCD.

Well... WE will learn their error the hard way. They're well set up to already fill those other positions that were mentioned.

I'm a little surprised no one's mentioned the root source of banana-peel-slipping: fraud. https://sundaymagazine.org/2010/11/26/the-woman-the-banana-p... TL;DR - At the turn of last century, suing f

Read a lot of popular books for conversational ideas, follow the news for topical application of them, and attempt cognitive & emotional empathy for per-person personalization of the application. Simple in theory, juggling plates and kn

As an autistic that brute-forced the "witty social banter" skill early on and has recently turned 40... I kinda wish I'd learned quantum computing instead tbh.

Similar to Stross' Accelerando (a book released just after the Napster era), where russian mafia legal bots went around suing everyone for whatever reason they could get their hands on.

There's not much to find for 99.99% of both of those. Like, exploring a distant planet versus exploring actual vacuum "space", is similar to exploring an undersea thermal vent versus exploring millions of square miles of feat

There's hope that sodium-ion tech will come to the rescue, here. The energy-density is bordering on 'good enough' but it's not quite there, yet. There's other technologies that they're trialing for boats that s

To a more and lesser degree depending on the action, I try to apply "that rigor" to myself, at least? And yes, I think the world would be better off if more people considered how their decisions impact others, if that's what

Assuming you're purchasing from someone with infinite carbon credits and you're spending it in an environment with infinite ability to re-sink the carbon. Sure.

I'm guessing parent was requesting an alternative that was demonstrably better rather than examples of how it's bad - and thus saying that GBoard is actually okay on this front, regardless of how actually usable it is. For the rec

And at 8x the thermal conductivity of copper, we might see some diamond HSF's as well.
