To incentivize artists to create and distribute art. The way we conceive of art as an act of embodied novelty differentiates it from commodities which aim for predictable consistency. Lack of IP protection in our culture has made it impossi

I'm currently sitting on a home with a basement open with no heater, and trying to find a contractor to install an all-electric heat pump. I'd love to be your customer but I worked in hardware and just don't see you hitting d

Yes, but the basics of computing (text input, pointing, selecting) haven't been worked out for the new paradigm. Like you point out, how information superiority and affordance work even in standalone applications hasn't really bee

Physics is working against everyone here, it’s just too hard to get a bright, sharp screen in the form factor, weight & style that can literally appeal to everyone. The processing power to obtain world lock is not trivial either. In con

With the size of Russia's SLBM stockpile, this doesn't seem to change the deterrence equation, according to the Wikipedia article. It seems like this allows more orgs within Russian military industrial complex to grab development
