I am very open to critiquing Bill Gates (and other personally wealthy folks disregarding experts in a messianical manner), but isn't this kind of what he spends all of his time on …

This is extremely cynical - do you find all abstract art to be unimpressive?

This is just unfortunately the default state for STEM-trained individuals (disclaimer: I am one of these).

This is an oversimplified take, and completely glosses over macro social effects beyond "individual choice". This is the social science equivalent of reasoning about human behavior…

Yeah, they really jumped the shark with that release. The meta has been changing drastically, and I don't know if the dev team really is interested in patching it back up.

Where? Can you share a link / description?

Second this - it is way too hard for me to see a full FOV and high-res look at the actual product!

I imagine the entire idea of it being a worker-owned (and thus democratic) cooperative is pretty different...

That word has completely lost all meaning and historical context at this point, hasn't it?

Are you suggesting that jail (aka expensive housing funded by the public) is the most effective solution to these crimes/behaviors? For example, do you think the population of peop…

Have you tried VR at 1080p? I understand your point (one number does not adequately represent "quality of experience") but for VR, 1080p is simply not enough due to the distance to…

> As someone who has only really started using Twitter in the last few months Seems like a little bit of a self-report right off the bad. The OP is not very familiar with Twitter a…

I don't understand how you say this when Oculus Quest 2 (owned by FB, of course) is probably the best + most popular VR experience. Is it early days? Yes, of course. But this quasi…

I would imagine the intent of this "surrealist approach" is to disincentivize the commodification of housing (as a form of political pressure against consolidation of large real es…

The difference is that the interstate highway system was not simply built for mass civilian transit, but as part of a post-WW2 initiative, functioning as emergency landing strips a…

Laws are not written overnight. I am not really sure what kind of `SLA` you have in mind for drafting and passing legislating for new fields (especially massive paradigm shifts wit…

Afghanistan is strategically located at a major crossroads between Central and East Asia. This is useful for trade and military operations. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

You do realize languages change (constantly), right? This gives me the sense of someone echoing talking points picked up from spending time listening to reactionary Youtube agitato…

I find it troubling that people can find themselves so wrapped up and agitated by culture war wedge issues that they would characterize the rhetoric and actions of Jeff Bezos as al…

No one is arguing about right/wrong, he is simply saying the term has an accepted definition (especially in historical context, zooming out past the modern US political media lands…

This is a very idealistic view of the Prop 22 debate, and I encourage you take a more material analysis to this issue if you want to understand it. It was a cheap way for VC-backed…

I highly recommend you visit a well-reviewed physiotherapist. I have struggled with back pain for about 10 years, from a high-school football injury. Turns out, beyond the "injury"…
