I agree, this talked about none of the things I was hoping it would talk about. I've always assumed that breakfast was said to be important because it improves various facets of functional performance, not because of…
I have to say, splitting things up makes me think of the whole Netflix-Qwikster thing - pointless brand splitting that does little more than confuse and frustrate consumers. I do like the new logo though.
4% is an average anyway. There are absolutely people in the US that must spend a notable portion of their income on food. I'm not in the best of situations, and I generally end up spending 20-30% on food, and I don't…
Another non-obvious change would be the elimination of minimum wage, which would improve corporate profits, which should (theoretically, at least) increase the taxes they pay.
As someone who's worked retail in america, this is entirely unsurprising. I didn't sell furniture for the most part, but it's probably consistent with my experiences. This has little to do with defective products.…
I hope we see an increase in real software parallelism, since that's the only real way out of this for the foreseeable future. Tacking on more cores is still an option we have, we're just having trouble using them right…
Retail, going to start school soon instead.
I don't feel like finding the source, but iirc one of the articles covering this mentioned that they actually managed to grow a penis before they did vaginas, so that is indeed very good news for transmen. Whether it's…
A tangential, but this complexity is one reason I think that sales tax should largely be abolished in favor of rolling it into income taxes. The only context it makes much sense in is taxing various luxuries. Beyond…
At least to me, the issue is more that Facebook is not who I want developing these technologies. I think facebook is going to eventually use this to create a modern connected virtual world. Which is something I dearly…
CCP might make more sense, but they still don't really have technology for building these sorts of worlds. I deeply respect them, and think that they probably have more appropriate tech to offer than most, but I think…
I hope not. Secondlife is a terrible and dated piece of software. For a serious virtual world, they'll need something a lot more modern and robust.
Ow, my eyes.
I've actually wanted to build something like this for a while, but with something a bit more.. modern than secondlife/opensim. Firestorm is a great project, but second life is so badly engineered at its core that using…
There should probably be a way be a way to contact you, if you're going to invite people to message you.
It would be interesting to see a pixelart/emulator scaler that was temporally aware - that is, able to use context from near or all relevant sprite frames to get additional detail/context. This would require a…
While I can certainly agree that people can have relative value, and even agree that a disparity of four orders of magnitude might just be possible on occasion (though overall i'm skeptical of that claim), I think we're…
True, it's an imperfect solution, but it was an example. Of course robots are inevitable for such menial tasks.
Honestly, while I think many out there have earned their money, this stops at a certain point. It's just not reasonable to think someone is 10,000x more valuable than someone else. That's just ridiculous. Even beyond…
I wouldn't say more options so much as societally-encouraged options. It's a lot more conforming to expectations to be attractive than it is to be a hacker, so it's easy to leave the less-accepted things by the wayside…
Generally not. I work in retail and we're not really supposed to take PC games back, though this is often fudged. Console games we'll take back if our disk tester says they're faulty.
It's too bad it's too expensive to be relevant for people who rely on bike transportation for financial reasons (at least, in much of america) :( I'd love one, but it seems silly to spend that much on my bike.
Similar situation here, my only problem is that while I am able to (barely) sustain myself, depression and similar issues are continuing to stymie what attempts I can make to better my situation. I honestly don't know…
8pen is neat, but i'm still not entirely convinced it can be that fast an input method. I've started using it semi-recently (last month or so), as it seemed better than using a touchscreen keyboard (swype is an okay…
