While everything may be influenced by macro trends, there will still be movies, Super Bowl Ads, radio and Spotify playlists which rely on music licensing. It may dip in bad times, but the bet is that they will do better than other investmen

What I found funny about watching that is that the 2014 version is exactly how I remembered the 1991 version. Memory smoothed it all out I suppose.

I use the Anywhere MX 2, which is quite good, and would love to try the Master 3, but I mouse left-handed. Would love to see more support from Logitech for this mode, even if it came at a premium.

I think of this issue in a much more mundane way all the time. When looking for product reviews, for example, the top results are, in my experience, unusable. A search for espresso machine reviews returns SEO driven results, and even the mo

Oregon (and New Jersey) restricts gas pumping to station attendants as well. Not saying these things are related, not saying they are not.

One of those comments was in response to an article about Jimmy Savile[0]. Savile is estimated to have raped 589 children, including some as young as 8. I am "healthily skeptical" about the moral compass of people who use serial c

True, but system integration is a mixed bag when you do. When it is built in originally, you are assured it will work w/ steering wheel controls, etc. On the flipside, some manufacturers impose limitations on what you can do when drivi

At my work, we use Teams a fair bit, and I'll go out on the limb to defend it (a limb I'm quite familiar with at this point ;) ). Thinking of it as a Slack alternative is, IMO, the wrong starting point. We barely use it for chat (

What I find interesting is looking for creative ways to prioritize the game experience even when the 'official spec' didn't support it. They could have given up by accepting that the spec represented the limit of what could b

Interesting that so much consumer product is still packaged for retail, even some brands that I imagine sell a vast majority online. retail packaging translates to online-friendly packaging, but the reserve seems likely to be less true. Not

One other thing in defense of spreadsheets is that they are a tremendous introduction to data manipulation and management for people who don’t think of themselves as being ‘programmers’. Purpose built SaaS apps pre-solve problems, and that

I'm not sure that boredom is the right word for what is being described here. Leisure is what we used to call it, and the sense of boredom seems (to me) to emerge as one possible reaction to unencumbered leisure time. When I am on a hi

Seems like good news to me for both Apple and Ive. I don't think any of the Apple design complaints posted elsewhere in the thread will be addressed, but I hope a new design voice will emerge for the next generation of Apple products.

That is awesome. And in fairness, it does show a clear variant, not vanilla Pong, so I'll fess up to being a bit trolly. Agree on the power of sharing tools rather than products, or products that are also tools.

From the 1970s clip: "or the family can invent their own Pong games" Love it, but just one note. Its already been invented, and its already called Pong ;)

It is true. Here [0] is a representative example, the only one I could find with a price. Correct color matters tremendously in film production, and getting accurate representation of that is quite expensive. [0] https://pro.sony

At first this struck me as expensive, in the sense that per Gbps, I get a much better price from Comcast. And then I remembered all of the externalities that come along with that price: data caps, potential monitoring, bad customer support

I took my kid to the most recent one in the Bay Area, which was fun. And crowded. And a bit expensive. Too bad it wasn’t working out, but glad we got a chance to go once.

One thing I'm confused on from this article is which car brands might be more or less egregious in this dimension. For example, I drive a VW, and my car is Car-Net capable, though I have not enabled the service. Is Car-Net (or some sim

I think it is even simpler than this in that most people don't realize they are being tracked in this way. It is easy to seem hypocritical when you are simply ignorant of a potentially parallel case.

I'm all for these, but I do find it somewhat ironic that we've 'productized' the junk yard, making it just safe enough for us to be comfortable with our kids roaming 'free'. If it is a step towards liberation

I agree that this is good, and my older child has similarly little exposure to commercials as other commenters. I found this quote, however, a bit shocking: "The average 2-5 year old is spending over 1,600 hours a year watching televis
