The problem isn't so much signing up, the problem is that from their website, without signing up, I have no idea what their service does and what are it's features. A small paragra…

>I'm specifically referring to https://spatial.chat Kinda off topic, but I'm starting to see this kind of website design more frequently these days, just a big "Join" button (or so…

I've always been a bit curious, do these types of programs make any attempt to identify whether they're running in a VM?

I agree with this. I have though about it extensively, as an introvert who hates large cities, and I think (at least for me) a city between 500k and 1 million inhabitants spread ou…

I'm overall surprised at how unpopular/unknown wxWidgets is when the discussion turns to cross platform UI toolkits. I've used it a lot, as well as other popular toolkits (Qt, GTK,…

While not exactly a convertible, the Honda e sounds right up your alley. It's probably the only electric car I'm looking forward to anymore.

The thing worth mentioning is that becoming a famous author and writing quality books are different goals, achieved through different means. Cynically, I would say that they're unr…

The complaint isn't about the capability for mass surveillance, but the normalization of it, in the public mind. The capability has existed for a pretty long time, mostly out of th…

>You can definitely live with a voice-only phone This is likely to be untrue in the immediate future. This is probably already true in places like China, where mobile payments are …

>Besides that you could always click on the drop down menu in the upper left and use the TOC to jump around, or skip something. I think that was kinda the main problem for me, actu…

For me, it's a pretty interesting article on a topic I very much enjoy and they did some very impressive work, but it's ruined by some pretty bad UX. Reading this felt like a chore…

>A lot of car guys just aren't going to rip apart their wiring harnesses and do testing to make sure it'll work with their onboard sensors. I'm not so sure about that. My go-to mec…

Legal alcohol limits are a guideline and not a solid rule. Ideally, they were designed with the idea that personal responsibility would play a role in your decision to drive after …

Taking a look at that report, it seems to be missing an important statistic when it comes to motorcycle crashes. What is the fatality and serious injury rate when comparing when th…

It took some time to find a combination of medicine that worked for me, and I was pretty lucky as far as that is concerned. So my first bit of advice to anyone considering medicine…

I suppose I should clarify the kind of mindfulness I'm talking about. Basically what I was taught was how to pay attention to what I'm feeling and where those emotions are coming f…

The beauty of communities like these is that I can make an account and talk about my experiences without tying it to my real identity. Unfortunately I don't have the courage to do …

Yes, mediation, mindfulness and several other techniques for controlling emotions were things that we tried with my psychiatrist. Meditation didn't really work for me but mindfulne…

I definitely understand. As I got older, I found myself doing the first type of procrastination (the do nothing type) more and more, and after talking through some things with my p…

Not always true. I frequently procrastinate on things that I actively enjoy doing and want to do. There are times when I want nothing more than to be doing something and I still pr…

>The problem with complete automation is how accidents are perceived I don't think so. Airplane autopilot automates away the safe, boring parts of air travel, much like highway dri…

If I were to put wires in roads, it would be for wireless charging, so that autonomous taxis and delivery vehicles could keep driving forever (or at least until they require mainte…

>I can’t imagine paying $40,000+ on a new car that isn’t a Tesla right now Aside from the fact that the Tesla is not available where I live, if I was only going to own one car, it …

To a certain extent I agree. I had already written at length in another post about this topic, but my opinion is that what we think of as a "car" right now will never be fully auto…
