In my experience, the biggest obstacle to broader AR and VR adoption beyond reducing the price, size, and weigh of the hardware will always be the lack of good content creation tools. I've been involved with two VR projects that were u

A civically informed and engaged population also has a choice to organize against the political establishment, run their own candidates, or create political action committees. The PAC can endorse and otherwise work to support a better candi

Sorry, but I find this to be an excuse. Voters can hold elected officials accountable by not re-electing politicians, not donating to them, and supporting candidates that will better represent them. The problem is that most citizens are not

I generally agree though I have to say I’ve been impressed by China’s efforts to reduce desertification. It’s not perfect, but they seem to have an evolving strategy and the right priorities. https://www.forbes.com/sites&#x2

The original, updated version of the Finder icon alone should have been enough of a warning that the UX designers at Apple have lost their minds and any aesthetic sense, let alone an ability to design interfaces that are functional, efficie

Agreed. There are so many "what were they thinking" aspects of the new UX that I have to wonder whether the designers at Apple even use their products. Everything is less legible. A lot of the new UI requires additional taps/

Scale AI’s entire business model was using people in developing countries to label data for training models. Once you look into it, it comes across as rather predatory. This was one of the first links I found re: Scale’s labor practices h

Modern political commentators and influencers are strategic about who they will engage with and how they engage. You can see this with Ben Shapiro when he walked out of an interview with conservative BBC host, Andrew Neil. Shapiro was unpre

I think it’s more a matter of both extremes. I’ve seen stay at home parents who put their kids in daycare so they can spend the day shopping and effectively have someone else raise their kids. Their kids end up largely just being status sym

I don’t know if I would agree. Spreadsheets don’t really have the ability to promote propaganda and manipulate people the way LLM-powered bots already have. Generative AI is also starting to change the way people think, or perhaps not think

This is largely correct. However, staff also need to be trained and drilled on security policies and procedures. That's often lacking, especially if security is outsourced to third party contractors.

I think you raise a good point. Everything from local newspapers, local TV news, HOA and rental management, and even community sports programs are increasingly run by national organizations that have no connection to the local community and

I'm familiar with site in question and not surprised. The location of the first campus built in Hilliard is extremely problematic, but more due to traffic patterns than anything else. The entrance is along a road that gets busy and tru

No. Hyperscale data centers like those discussed in the article are usually evaporative cooled and tend to be relatively quiet outside the building unless they are running generators due to testing or utility outages. You may hear a low pit

I’m old enough to remember BBSes and the early Internet. I’d argue that while there were fewer people on the internet, those that were online shared way more than what most are willing to today. There was a certain level of naivety looking

I tend to look at it more from the perspective of what I can control. I can’t control how others communicate. What I can control is how I communicate and how respond to others. My response requires me to seek to understand the other person

It’s still unacceptable. We should all be demanding legislation that requires code and/or hardware specs be open-sourced when they reach end of life. Otherwise, we’re simply continuing to be irresponsible by creating fast fashion in te

Expecting that you can change people, in my experience, is quixotic. What you can change is yourself and how you interpret and respond to events around you. If I understand the hypothetical you've proposed, my advice would be for you t

I can see that. Sadly, there are a lot of people in the world who simply don't know how to deal with people who can be direct, if not somewhat abrasive, in their communication style. Their intent can be noble, well-intentioned, and not

I think you point out the most important difference between China and most of the western world, or at least the United States. China is patient. They seem to be taking a long term, intentional approach. Their goals are long term. In other

These icons are just another example that Apple's lost its way. Disk Utility, like a lot of the apps, has been progressively getting worse, IME. Even the way OS X mounts an external drive has become unreliable.

I am shocked that someone who co-founded a research and analytics firm would be concerned about Apple filtering out unsolicited messages! /s I admit the "undermining democracy" angle seems a bit new, but let's be honest,

You’ll always have naysayers, but I think there’s a difference between someone who doesn’t understand or share the appeal of rock or jazz or an artist like Philip Glass where music is made by someone choosing what notes to play, what rhythm
