I used to pay for "all of them". Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Mubi, Prime Video and occasional rents on Youtube movies. And I made myself believe that I'm doing it THE RIGH…

We run a small company. From consulting to software dev (well, mostly both things happen: consult, then develop). While software dev is impacted by AI coding, there is more going o…

Just read this - following a similar direction: https://yuraa.com/2026/03/21/customer-service-as-a-product/

I talk about people, not government. Unfortunately it's two different things. And of course I don't mean 100% of people. But percentage wise - you wouldn't say that majority wanted…

Pre 2014 no Russian person would directly wish/hope/wait for the annexation of Crimea. Surely some fanatics and crazies existed, but society at large didn't "need" it. One person m…

I think the notion of the comment about westerners is to highlight that as a common person you can believe in rules based order, or you are made to believe in that and live your li…

I lived 15 years in The Netherlands and 3 years ago moved to Germany. Back in NL I used to complain about trains being late... Boy oh boy was I not ready for Germany and Deutsche B…

Stealing this recommendation. I stared from Revelation Space - full series. Then did done other ones. Didn't get to the Century Rain. Thank you!

Alastair is on my S tier for sci-fi. Read so much of him. But didn't read Eversion. Adding it! In your reading journey, which other authors/books have similar grand space scale as …

"Lonesome Dove" And it's hard to convey how much I enjoyed it. I'm afraid to pick up any other novel of a similar kind as I'll be furiously comparing. So after it I sterted reading…

Somehow I grew up with the expectation that coffee in US is exceptional everywhere. I guess from movies, pop culture - just how much coffee is part of American daily life. Then lat…

Yeah.. right after writing the comment I went on to get my frame of reference a bit adjusted about the sizes of everything...:) Risks are very small! So small that it's not even wo…

! Not the first time that industry pushed the technology. And I can see how this could work.

That's actually true. You are absolutely right. Computers used to be a size of a bedroom. So yeah, this is not the end game at all. I would think that the most ultimate end state w…

Fair enough. Though standing and watching a move is also possible. But also in VR/AR you can't have a movie night with a group of people. Though I'm not sure such things even happe…

Hmm... You have a point! I might have judged it too hastily. Nostalgia is a strong emotion. It sells.

I feel like this tech always misses real life usecases. I mean yes sure we do watch movies... But are you really going to sit in the headset for 2 hours straight. It's physically..…

I'm by no means closer or educated enough on astrophysics or anything to do with space. Hence I have a very "commoner" question: - asteroids? Debris? It's there even any risk of an…

As a big fan of python and htmx... I'm loving it! Would check it out asap!

This article can be taken a little less seriously. It is just an opinion/experience of a person. I think he has a lot of good points there. Yes he treads on the thin ice with the v…
