Facts are the enemy. I remember reading books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 as a teen thinking, "Cool story, but the US will never look like that." Oof.

With limited resources, sometimes practicality needs to win. Kudos to Bruce for putting aside his (valid) feelings on the subject and doing what is best for the team and community …

I can't get ticketmaster to work reliably on Firefox. I guess it thinks I'm a bot. I can use Chrome on the same computer and book tickets just fine. One crap product forcing me to …

I don't think I realized that ICE engines had this kind of degradation. What causes this? Seals and parts loosening as they break in? Some loss of efficiency in the fuel mixing/bur…

I love this perspective! Exploration has probably never "made sense", has it?

I'm interested in learning more about your perspective that there's no science left to be done on the moon. Do you think establishing a human base on the moon has value?

Even if just all the unsafe areas were marked, wouldn't that be valuable? At least it would focus review efforts on the parts with the most risk?

1657721. Yeah. Why do I remember this 25+ years later. I guess you did have to tell someone else the number so they could find you. Maybe that's it?

I think the video said it was a neon bulb, which reacted "fast enough".

Human's obsession with race is so weird, and now we're projecting that on AIs.

And somehow, in the US at least, we don't even have broad agreement that climate change is real, happening, and will dramatically adversely affect humans for centuries to come. Any…

This is a really interesting idea to me, honestly. Someone would have to do some modeling, but I'm guessing that amount being emitted would be low enough to not dramatically cool t…

Would you be willing to share the one you ended up getting?

Maybe they are? Has this been tested?

Not sure if I'm supposed to laugh, groan, or shake my head. Nicely played, sir!

But their point is that your comment doesn't have anything to do with what the article is talking about. TVs having picture settings have nothing to do with connecting it to the ne…

I don't necessarily disagree, but this article doesn't talk about any of that. It's talk about picture setting, like motion smoothing, dynamic range, local dimming, etc.

That's amazing. Truly. I'm assuming you're on iPhone. Anyone know if there is a way to do this in Android?

One reason might be the backlit display and the glossy screen. Glossy screens, especially, really strain my eyes.

I feel like's it's inevitable that these types of devices will eventually become useful enough and stylish enough to start catching on. Companies have to start somewhere. Google Gl…

Except these have nothing to do with AR (sadly)...

I agree it's awesome, but I think we have WebAssembly more to thank than HTML. :-)

Unfortunately, he passed away in 2016. RIP Ian.
