The fact that the companies that sell these ads are wildly profitable suggests otherwise.

First I've heard of analog computers but it sounds super interesting. So basically the structure of the system defined the algorithm and is therefore very specialized and efficient?

Just wait until VR MMOs. I guarantee many lives will be completely destroyed...

Flying sucks. Hard or impossible to sleep, uncomfortable, can't walk around, little to no food, airport security.

Don't forget that on a plane you're literally packed like sardines and can only get up and move maybe once or twice. Flying is pretty miserable tbh.

Vague nouns: "the worst humanitarian crisis"... just say what it is! Appeals to contrarianism/moral highground-ism: "Nobody is"... obviously some people are paying attention otherwise there wouldn't be an artic

Why isn't it good? Ethnocentricism provides meaning and purpose which is sorely lacking in our relativist, globalist society.

Regardless of whether or not the analogy is good, the point still stands. 48 fps looks fake and totally destroys immersion.

Sorry, hate 60 fps. Everything just looks fake.

Don't kid yourself into thinking that a majority of the public knows or even cares about the things that Uber has done. They use Uber because everyone else uses Uber and to take an "Uber" is to use a "Kleenex" or to

The real problem here is businesses who are causing this are externalizing their costs to everyone else. So I have to buy an expensive EV, I have to willingly pay more for energy, I must willingly inconvenience myself to bring a reusable ba

Seward Co-op is literally my standard for grocery store. I always laugh at stuff like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's because, like you said, they are sham-progressive in every sense IMO.

It's just like cable used to be! Before they started serving ads anyway...

Value and efficiency can disappear though. I could spend 100 dollars on something that falls apart in a month, or spend 1000 for a functionally equivalently something that will last 3 generations. One of these choices is wasteful and hurts

If they're not in a position to spend $15 a month for your products, then how are the ads bringing in money in the first place. One would assume that in order for the company purchasing the ad to want to pay for it, people seeing the a

Except if you don't invest in infrastructure and useful social things, there's no future of note anyway. I don't really think the economy will do too well if nobody can make it to work.

Yeah, great. A bunch of tech nerds and programmers commenting on a job where your safety is constantly on the line and you have to make split second decisions and you're under enormous stress and there is no black and white. This board

I don't think you know anything about controlling a situation when you're in the presence of thugs and criminals. All of these people who have no idea of what it's like to be a police officer sitting here being critics and ar
