This is a fun game, nicely put together! I wished for a button to clear the board while I was playing. I love the menu UI. I think it cleverly parallels the game.

One Sec is a good balance of running interference while not making the device unusable. I installed it at your suggestion and appreciate the brief pause before opening Firefox now.…

Most of the time, the US drivers passing on the right in my region are speeding and driving erratically. I agree that slow drivers in the fast lane are dangerous. Driving in the sl…

What a beautiful idea!

Nicely done! Simply from a game play perspective, I'd suggest making the theme part of the initial round, so that players can focus on revealing words from the start. Also, I'm on …

Sara Walker had a great piece in Noema that I just went back to recently and so have at the ready to recommend, called AI is Life: https://www.noemamag.com/ai-is-life/

In Massachusetts, Lost and Unaccounted for Gas (LAUG) is estimated per mile of pipe, rather than evaluated by regulators or even industry. It is a simple multiplication problem wit…

Yup, author overlooked this one that I give five stars. Switched long ago and never looked back.

The dinosaurs also knew this to be true.

I've just put one in my office and it cost just $150 USD. I plan on using my fitness reimbursement from my insurer to cover the expense. I've used it selectively but recently reorg…

Thank you. They must have updated the site as a result of the spike in traffic.

The author, Brandon Keim, is a favorite of mine. If you like this piece, his book Eye of the Sandpiper is worth checking out. https://brandonkeim.net/sandpiper

For the uninitiated, this is in many ways similar to networked geothermal: https://www.gastogeo.wiki/wiki/Main_Page When I lived in Toronto, I toured Steam Whistle brewery and they…

The most dramatic influence on my listening habits has been online communities like rateyourmusic.com, algorithms be damned. Also, count me among the many HN readers I expect will …

I think the use of AI to control women's appearance in either direction is the root of the problem.

Fun! Thanks for the thought exercise. I ran into trouble with Firefox on Android. It wouldn't let me type more than a letter before my keyboard closed. I don't know if that's a bug…

The fact of our unintentional alteration of the climate does not give us permission to do so further. Imagine this logic in other scenarios, e.g., "he has killed six people, what's…

Ed Yong's book An Immense World is an incredible exploration of one of the questions raised in this review, which is what animals talk about. He explains the incredible array of se…

http://archive.today/TMe6z Epik, the host in question, is run by Rob Monster, which is either a chosen name or evidence we are living in a poorly written simulation. Truthfully, I'…

Brilliant, installing this for Firefox next time I open my laptop. Any chance of a Firefox for Android version on the horizon?

I once worked for a firm that developed a small, worker owned business that was owned and managed by incarcerated folks. The business was vertically integrated with the jail and pr…

Excellent idea, thoughtful deployment. The hints are clever for kids. I recommend adding a bigger library of words. "Cats" was my first guess just now and it wasn't allowed. Likewi…

So say we all.
