I've listened to some LibriVox recordings of public domain works, notably A Princess of Mars. The price was right at the time, though the quality was, as you say, remarkably subpar…

Agreed. That's the kind of image that will be greatly enhanced by the faked software bokeh coming in a software update soon.

If you clone it on your local machine you also won't receive any automatic updates.

It's simpler than that. Dense population dropoff lines up with dropoff in average rainfall: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/pcpn/us_precip.gif

From what little I understand, a Dyson Sphere would require so much material in terms of heavy elements that you'd have a great deal of trouble building a significant number of the…

Too much so, for me, but it came with a nice soundtrack/playlist.

Huh. I actually used Bitcoin to buy Crashlands through the dev's Humble link since they said they get a larger cut there than through Steam, and I decided to cash out my Stellar (o…

Not surprising given the incredible overwhelming number of people trying to play the game. I knew it would be huge, I never imagined it would be the phenomenon it is. (Go to a park…

If you create a Pokestop, they will come. One thing Niantic did was turn certain businesses into portals - Pokemon Go could make many times more money with a similar deal.

The retrial had very little to do with Serial, and everything to do with the fact that the prosecution withheld a cover page from one of their star witnesses which would have cause…

If you listen to the Truth and Justice podcast, there are people doing exactly as you suggest. Often with semi-reckless abandon and very little to support their case, but they're t…

It's a very different experience, and clearly incredibly biased, but I agree that it's a good listen if you got into the case and are curious to learn more about the facts and play…

He showed an interest in not proving he is Satoshi as well, and didn't prove it. This isn't a negative you can prove (certainly not in the way you're saying.)

I say this every time I read an article approaching my areas of domain knowledge. (And yet I keep reading the articles.) Thankfully we have forums such as this one where more conte…

This reads like a comment from someone who didn't read the article. To call this piece fawning? And the author provides plenty of reasons for why Wright might not want to sign a me…

There have been plenty of terse short form blog entries about the saga, if you don't like the style of this piece you're free to close it and walk away without shitting on it. I sp…

Egan's Quarantine had me checking out dozens of books about Quantum Mechanics while I was in High School. Love Egan's work, even if I had quite a bit of trouble with Diaspora (I pr…
