I'm heartened by the interest in better packaging and it seems like it's having a moment. Last week Cruz Foam[0] (probably a direct competitor) had an announcement that it had some celebrity investors[1]. It's probably not a

> I don’t care about the emotions of animals at all, and never will. This comes across as proudly sociopathic. The line between the human animal and any other is arbitrary and blurry and about to get much more so. I think it’s healthy t

The corkscrew is the ‘every-man’ item that allows for reflection on modern desires in tension. It’s about the corkscrew the same way that [the] summer’s day to which thee I shall compare is still slightly actually about the summer day.

The article focuses mostly on ‘freedom to’ freedoms, but like most casual analysis doesn’t talk much about ‘freedom from’. Perhaps you can talk about privacy in terms of either freedom from surveillance, or freedom to say/do what you l

Wider IP address space at the beginning could have led to static IP deployment to the home, allowing for self-hosted websites and email service that would have obviated the need for ad-supported websites and web services. We still would hav

Are you sure that neurons are a precondition for consciousness? I'm not arguing a glass fo water is conscious, but that argues against computers ever being conscious because they also have no neurons.
