Never say never. People are paying through the nose for a pair of JNCOs these days.

> But if I went to a “high end” place with an AI menu and instagram decor - bad, bad sign. Sometimes I wonder if this will settle into its own form of kitsch over the years, and wh…

At least we can talk about it.

Oh, I remember these. Those kits were a lot of fun.

Explain this a bit. I'm interested, but I don't fully understand how you mean this.

Not saying this is what you're doing, but I find requiring someone to solve a problem immediately after sharing it can (ironically) stifle finding a solution. The act of identifyin…

Unless, of course, it continually has been becoming Reddit, but Reddit has been constantly changing too ;)

Arranged like a Skinner box -- something which dispenses reward stimuli for desired behaviours with the aim of maximizing those behaviours. Interestingly, a Skinner box can be made…

And as a follow-up, Lewis Mumford, Technics and Civilization . Where McLuhan argues technologies shape worldviews, Mumford argues worldviews also shape technologies. And then perha…

Unless you're reading at the top of the screen (i.e. on a phone), scroll up to recap on something you missed, and then the header slides in and covers the exact thing you were tryi…

> It's not that polls are imperfect, it's that they're often entirely misleading and incorrect. Can you point to the source of your argument? Furthermore -- can you point out how t…

They're really using every tactic they can -- and for the life of me, I have no idea why. They've pushed so hard, for so long, to make Bing succeed -- even forcing it in the Start …

Ontologically, it implies the existence of Turbobloat 3000.

I can see that, but I think calling it just nostalgia-driven is judging a book by its cover. First off, I want to say you can totally have a design ethos that covers game engines a…

To an absolute hardliner for appropriate technology, probably -- but simplicity isn't necessarily all-or-nothing, and (IMO) helping people pull off cool things with simpler tools i…

" Some might say "just get a better computer". This is why getting a better computer is bad: 1. Affordance: A lot of people, especially from 3rd world countries are very poor and c…

A lot of the family-friendly stuff was specifically for the cameras. A few things I can speak to: * It definitely wasn't peaceful -- activists and Ottawa residents documented numer…

Glad you asked. * Pushing a reporter live on air: https://x.com/mylenecrete/status/1494874304814751744 * Beating a counter-protestor on camera: https://x.com/timabray/status/148823…

That's really great work, thanks -- could you share a link to the 50% polls? This is probably worth porting back to the Wikipedia page to set the record straight.

I'm so in love with the philosophy of this project. It's one of the few frameworks that I feel can do no wrong.

To be honest, I can't shake the suspicion that a fair share of the talking is not homegrown. > Facebook stated that they had removed fake users that were set up in overseas content…

It's definitely not 'overwhelmingly popular,' but polling shows majority support (66%) from Canadians for use of the Emergencies Act at the time of the protest. https://en.wikipedi…

Even if they achieve it, the reputational damage would be hard to understate. I think anyone with a bone to pick with the States would happily and repeatedly point to us Canadians …
