   Chick Corea is such an excellent introduction/addition to jazz and jazz fusion libraries. If you like Snarky Puppy, Chick Corea was a huge part of their inspiration. He was a musical genius and his soul will live on in jazz forever

   I've been dreaming about this for years. Most people who hear about it think it's nonsense. You could even set up plants near landfills and deploy little Wall-E robots to dig up and transport landfill for syngas. Feeling like we&#

   I don't get this. Your original comment said "Are their tools developed by high paid contractors?" but now you're claiming to have already known. What exactly are you asking?

   Incineration would probably be much, much worse, because all you're doing is releasing toxic pollutants into the air/atmosphere Unless you're talking about plasma gasification, in which case I wholeheartedly agree it appears

   Here's a fun little "cluster" I just found: https://viewer.legacysurvey.org/?ra=330.8784&dec=12.6412&lay... I'm not 100% certain but it seems like this may be an example of severe gravitational l

    The comment opens with "I can share my individual perspective" There's no intent to negate other people's struggles at all. Here's the hypothesis. If life is like an RPG, then whiteness / being male (in America

    I was literally homeless and earning minimum wage at one point so this is something I'm familiar with.

    Well I can share my individual perspective as a tall white guy. Sure, I've been through extraordinary struggles and life difficulties in my early adulthood, yet life is still pretty much easy mode just from the privilege. If you'v

    THIS is mind-bendingly awesome. What are the implications of this for technological advancement? Will we be getting to a point where machines are inventing new things that revolutionize life as we know it? I'm thinking about the differ

    Interesting argument that gives me something to think about. Though the last line doesn't make much sense to me. Between, say, the American way of embarrassing riches and the EU way of equality I note one didn't produce many t

    It's a fair point. One thought that comes to mind is Mark Zuckerberg. No doubt Mark has grit, work ethic, and level of intelligence greater than most people. Even if he never founded Facebook, these are some of the key ingredients for

    The fact that wikipedia works at all is nothing short of a miracle! There are some inventions where I'm like "Ahh, if only I had thought of that" and wikipedia is NOT one of those. I'm totally confident that even if I

    Not to be the eternally dissatisfied user, but I've never gotten homebrew to work properly on a machine with multiple users. It only works for 1 user at a time, even if it's owned by a user group that both users belong to. Has any

    eyes naturally jump and lock onto things. They don't just slide around between focal points. So... probably neither a problem with the artist or the program. It's a hilarious thing to say: the fact is eyes are just really bad at d

    Out of curiosity has it ever seemed to you that Amazon's success changed Jeff? Or has he always been largely the same person you knew from the start?

    maybe the outlier here, I didn't read the word "death" in a literal sense. To me it just came across as symbolic of crime, chaos, destruction, etc

    This reminds me of someone I was talking with about their growing, modestly successful startup. They were bragging to me about how they didn't even have to worry about paying benefits, healthcare, retirement, etc. to their contractors
