Sure, that's a good point, but it also applies to crossings without stop signs. :)

Yeah this is a major problem in the political landscape overall. Like for example refusing to read anything by conservatives just because you happen to disagree with them on abortion issues. You're going to be a) missing out on a lot o

Something I've been thinking about is how are addicts and mentally ill detected/addressed in a UBI society? Today it becomes apparent because when you have issues you tend to lose your job and have to join job seeking programs and

Ok, yeah, there I see a clear dilemma. Add me to the list of people who will never buy an Oculus.

Even if you need one, can't you just create a dummy account?

Yes, yes, yes, yes! I've been doing 20 hour weeks (on average) for the past 1-2 years and I can say with great confidence that I finally seem to have achieved a sustainable work/life balance. And of those hours worked there has pr

As a user it's often also helpful to understand the context of what you're reading (as long as the site has a descriptive URL structure) - is this a blog post, featured article, sponsored article, when was it written.... a good UR

Valencia, Spain is another example. I was confused in the beginning but after a day or so it felt comfortable. They have ~4 lanes in the roundabouts. Edit: 7 lanes in this particular one: https://goo.gl/maps/HpFvtHeFTC5

Naive indeed. I flew to meet a company we had just acquired and I personally promised them that nothing would change. Even though I believed it at the time of course it didn't pan out that way and to this day I regret saying that.

There are multiple ways you can hide your hair (hats, caps, scarfs) while it's more difficult to hide your mouth/teeth. That said it's quite easy now during COVID times!

Yeah I once had to make a ~20k transfer with Klarna and was shocked to see that they essentially hijacked my credentials. I only went through with it because there is additional 2FA (on my bank) so they wouldn't have been able to repea

There's https://reviewmeta.com/ as well which I've been using. It's sad that we have to resort to tools like these.

The main thing here is the radically improved UX (as advertised). With this kind of tech I might actually hook up with some remote friends with whom I currently just text (I don't really use video calls for anything other than work). E

Yup, it actually has a real world use case as online cash.

I.e. ecstatic since you're generally not allowed to see people.

Thought: This could bring back phone booths. If this tech turns out to be too expensive (for normal people) we could still use it on a pay-per-use basis, like with a "video conferencing booth". You'd schedule your call and re

Yeah that's how I'd describe it. 3D TV with 3D cameras. Looking forward to reading about the tech specs.
