How many people should we sacrifice to get a submarine tourism startup?

I mean that’s good lateral thinking but the issue is not that one particular button will go out but that any button or buttons could, and at any time, and it would probably be the most-used buttons since it was wear-based failure. They also

It is a submarine that carries people to depth. I don’t think it should have consumer-grade lighting designed for an RV that has windows and an exit that is always possible to use. It should not have a low-cost consumer-grade controller. Th

I wonder if this will continue to be the case as generational effects work their way through, or if it is purely developmental and a universal part of becoming an adult.

Ok, I read the paper. Here is the most pertinent part on receptors: > Fourteen different serotonin receptors have been identified, with most research on depression focusing on the 5-HT1A receptor [11, 34]. Since the functions of other 5-

This appears to be broadening the definition to avoid losing the contested point. Lobsters also have a sex drive, but not everything is sexual.

If we ignore the corporate structure details where your analogy breaks down, in the simplest case, choosing to self-inhibit is not violation of the freedom of speech. OpenAI is voluntarily self-censoring their output. This isn’t an ideologi

Blowing up your life in the sense of the article would have involved leaving your wife. I imagine that or similar extreme changes is what the parent meant. A lot of people in this thread think selling all their furniture is a life explosion

It is hard to argue against it as a first principle in population growth: reproduction is pretty simple math. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism

I probably won’t, but someone probably will. Productive might look quite different.

It does seem to me there are strong parallels with the iPhone/Blackberry keyboard conversation. Some people will hang on bitterly until the end. I can thumb touch-type on a cap touch screen with the help of autocorrect. With continued

My (unchecked) understanding is that carpal tunnel comes about because of the angle of the wrist and the repetitive pushing itself. If there are no keys to press wouldn’t you have no reason to exert force, and no need to angle your wrist or

Fair points — I guess my main point is at their core they served known, simple functions and people knew what they did. There had been music players and phones in mainstream use for decades. The correlate here I suppose is “watching things

Maybe assess the argument by the first two studies. If either of them do not support the point (or as has frequently happened for me, actually oppose the point) then you can reply for posterity and no one else needs to replicate your debunk

Peer review, at its core, is a social consensus process. It can work, but it is structurally inclined to propagate agreement. I wonder if it serves to reinforce this problem, as those more motivated to reinforce certain literatures or persp

MP3 players were bad, but everyone listened to music. Smartphones were a convergence that everyone was working on and wanted, and everyone needed a phone, but the experience was lacking. The dominant cool-kid response was not “why?” but “fi

If you can position things in AR, you can put keyboard keys down on wood grain and the device can tell where your fingers land. If you can escape the skeuomorphic trap, many things are possible. A mechanical keyboard is certainly not the un

You could do this with Immersed on a Quest 2 but you’re right the ecosystem is what will make or break that option. Personally I hope there is no keyboard at all. Seems with depth cameras mapping your hands, eye tracking, perfect speech-to-

If you have spent much time with other VR headsets you can absolutely imagine yourself using this, and while this version is excessively negative, I came to essentially the same conclusion. There is a big hole where the experience should be

The data for much of this list of cities has changed substantially in the past two to three years. Many of these are now unaffordable for someone on $45k/year, and they do not have the employment robustness of the larger metros.

So many misses in this paper — mistaking adjacencies for similarities, not defining culturally-referenced terms adequately. It is a perfect paper for accidentally exposing their own implicit biases and ontologies.
