Really horrifying lack of empathy in your thinking. Also, what a stupid, shortsighted plan.

This is great. I live in a dense suburb and the weekend is just a cacophony of deafening noise from leafblowers, table saws, pressure washers, lawn mowers, etc. My neighbor had a team of people grinding and cutting stone slabs for their pat

The United States carpet bombed North Korea, destroying 90% of all structures in the country, killing 300,000 in the immediate bombing run, then sanctioned them into the stone age. The relative poverty of North Korea is not a consequence of

I don't think you have to reproduce an entire original work to demonstrate copyright violation. Think about sampling in hip hop for example. A 2 second sample, distorted, re-pitched, etc. can be grounds for a copyright violation.

it's funny, VR doesn't give me motion sickness but browser parallax stuff does. i don't think i've ever seen a good implementation of this and i've seen tons of attempts. highjacking scroll just never feels good.

i wonder if there's a constant average reading speed (in terms of bits per second) across written languages. chinese is obviously more dense per symbol than english, but is each character processed more slowly as a result, preserving c

Scientists started with written texts from 17 languages, including English, Italian, Japanese, and Vietnamese. They calculated the information density of each language in bits—the same unit that describes how quickly your cellphone, laptop

you really dont use context menus for everything. a lot of functionality is based on modal key chords. so, different sequences/chords do different things based on the selected mode. watch this video and tell me this is inefficient: ht

media molecule's Dreams has the most impressive user interface i've ever used. it uses 2d panels laid out in 3d space but the panels can be anchored and resized in screen space, object space or world space and it's extremely

Additionally, I think the public is now realizing how powerful the friend/follow metadata graph is. It's pretty easy/robust to infer traits about people for whom you don't have explicit information. Alan, Betty, and Char

If the algorithm is directing people to more 'extreme' content for a given topic, does that imply it has some latent notion of what is less extreme? In order to draw a vector from one point away from the center, it'd need to

The internet is inherently social, we don't need to reify that aspect in explicit sites for 'social networking'. It's a weird cargo-culty skeumorphism of a natural thing. I think we need maybe point-to-point and broadcas
