Curious, why the downvotes?
Cool! And I think at least 30 minutes of my day is now going to be spent looking this up and seeing what models etc etc. Thank you.
If they can do this for one highly complex, many moving parts, integrated product.... do it for phones. And standardise recycling while you're at it.
I am inclined to agree with you. Removable batteries for cars has a LOT of bulk and weight to deal with. More a "service interval" like action rather than a daily event. Still handy to have but not nearly so much…
We all know it is about motivation, money and economies of scale. Motivation - make money for rentiers, otherwise get sued. Economies of scale - many low paid employees means differences in how you treat them can add up…
I also disagree with hereditary titles. But in a practical sense, I also don't think the next generation of Bezo's are going to be anything but obscenely wealthy. And the generation after that. And after that. While the…
Your second sentence, what's the difference? Isn't he likely going to be the next trillionaire anyway, with or without the title of Lord?
Absolutely a fun read! Curiously, it doesn't answer the question.
I have a 2 year old. I can't wait for this wild journey!
A while back I liked the idea of visiting the US, buying a motorbike and travelling around a bit. But since Trump I really feel on balance that I'd much rather go to many other places in the world instead. Maybe not…
No I had not! It seems like what I was thinking. Take the same idea and put it into Unreal Engine. Add further OS interactions like files, maybe a floating virtual window for web browsing etc. The UX has to be done very…
Humans gotta humanate.
Every now and again I think a "Windowing/Compositing" desktop experience replacement in the form of an Unreal Engine based "game" would be cool. Even supports VR. '80s Cyberpunk matrix here I come! pulls out a virtual…
What I don't get is: - The police need social capital. It helps enormously if they can be take at face value for "just doing their job". And this would help in the minor day-to-day interactions that makes up the…
This echoes my concerns about the ephemeral nature of trust. Be as positive as you can about it right now. Assume they don't sell and trade. Assume they don't have data breaches. Assume they don't directly try to use it…
Yeah, liquid nitrogen is not that expensive despite how exotic it sounds. But it really does need to be handled appropriately. For example, while you can put it in a simple thermos flask you shouldn't be in small…
This. Another comment mentions that Epic is amazingly customisable. But that is not in the control of the people who use it.
I like science. My kid is two. Major disappointment when Google('rockets') results in only sportsball. As in, zero indication that the word 'rocket' is to be associated with anything else. So I used duckduckgo. Same…
Well, I doubt the revival process too but the freezing bit might be ok if it was done expertly well. My understanding was that ice crystal length was also related to time taken to freeze. IE freezing faster produced…
"but, for whatever reason, you are noticing it more" Most societies indoctrinate people to "respect their elders" to varying degrees. A younger person having authority over an older person is a role reversal many are…
Why not both? \0/ Obviously every person has their own personal view of themselves and everyone also has their view of other people. Which one you call "identity" is pedantry. This multi-universe of identities is…
Yeah. Different people have different values. In the same way people see "free speech" as being a good thing, "free parenting" is similar, both in concept and result. Clearly, some people talk shit and some people…
While true, I feel it is simply a more competent prison.
Sorry, just figured that out for myself and edited my parent comment again. Thanks!
I see it as easy as mental conditioning. For example, Lots of people throw rubbish "away". But when you make clear (by say a trip to the landfill dump) that there is no magical "away" that will swallow rubbish forever,…
