I think it's also just useful to learn for the way it makes you stop and examine the world around you, your own decisions, in a new and more analytical light. Besides, if you're into physics, it's the only way; you can't

I thought I was unable to learn math, until I learned it outside of a school. One book like Prime Obsession was worth more to me than every moment of high school math. It's unbelievable to me that anyone can learn something devoid of

There is a strange, hardcore of people who love No Man's Sky. I don't mean people who like it, I mean people who (literally) brag about buying multiple copies and playing hundreds of hours. Those people do not like the reception

Why would embracing one destroy the other? I think a combination of gestural interface, subvocalization voice recognition, and AR could be the big winner in our lifetimes. The text won't be bound to a screen, you don't give anythi

I think it just means you have a bit of empathy, and awareness of how other people might view you. Many, if not most people seem to lack those qualities in general, never mind in relation to their phones. On the topic, something which reads

Unfortunately New York isn't the only place pricing people out of a home. By the way, About 2% of Americans live in New York City alone. At least 1% are not having a great time with rent that outstrips their potential earnings.

I feel like the author of this piece doesn't have a grip on the reality of 90% of Americans, or more.

I can't imagine charging people $60 for a game that wasn't finished, that goes just as much for the makers of NMS as any other game. As for beauty, very much eye of the beholder I guess.

If they're legalized, then "Pirate" is not the word for it. Maybe "Privateer", if you feel the need to aim for pathos rather than logos.

Being unaware of a risk, isn't bravery, but there's a word for it.

That's a fantasy which we are about to run headlong into, as a species, in part thanks to people who won't face the grim reality and be responsible. This, "Tech will save us!" attitude among the a vast number of people w

At the very least, it seems like an interesting approach, but I can't be the only person thinking of the Dilbert comic strip at this moment.
