My partial solution is to have the Android Zoom client on an idle tablet. Even though it is my office VOIP phone too, I power it off when I don't have meetings scheduled. If someone tries to demand screen sharing, I ask…
On the other hand, you likely need more liability insurance with more wealth, at least in the range where this topic of affordable transport comes up. In an accident, your risk becomes not the cost to restore your ride,…
You forget the addicted humans who will do nearly anything to keep the stuff running..?
Until you run into that most stubborn, "my problem is the absence of this solution" type of stakeholder...
Add a slight trailing decay and I think the basic arrow motif could be intuitive for trajectory for any observer who experienced aerodynamics? Whether it is the evolved shape of a flying creature or an abstract…
But, when the (sad) alternative is that person keeps driving without insurance and the unfortunate victims are left with the full bill, I think the absurd insurance may be better than not?
Ha, my mid 90s 21" Nanao CRT cost more than my used car was worth. I went on to get some high-end CRTs with Trinitron tubes after that at work. But, as soon as I could get an LCD with DVI-D input, I never wanted to go…
On the bright side, now we can have another comparison scale, for how many banana-copters worth of radiation a given item contains.
I think these practices come from more rural but also tropical origins? One part is purely practical, making it easier to keep the living space clean when you are coming in from the farm etc. Places with messy winters…
I don't think "compartmentalization" does this topic justice. Note, I'm not accusing you, since I don't know your work. My post is about the general milieu and the rhetoric around it. This "compartment" terminology…
It stumbled there, but I think the author was just trying to capture the chilling feeling of recognizing something already beyond your control. I also thought it was silly. It would be a bit like talking about Poe and…
I said nothing about like or dislike. I only implied that implied psychological traits of a fictional character are not evidence of the same psychological traits in the author. It's merely evidence that the author is…
Hmm, what is the psychological label for people who do not distinguish artist from art? It's one thing for a biographical analysis to look at the person's real life experiences and relationships. It's another thing…
Yes, but a DMA controller sit out on the memory bus to do the same kind of work the CPU could be doing, controlling bus traffic between memory modules. I think the whole idea of PIM is to be able to scale up and do work…
I'm having a hard time imagining this SIMD replacement except for extremely narrow use cases. Are you suggesting the PIM would have a full blown IO controller and cache subsystem to fetch remote operands? I assume PIM…
I think they mean a resource ripe for extraction. There is huge stored gravitational energy in that ice and water up so high, which is also exactly why it was such a disaster. Potential as in possibility, not as…
Hey, maybe the modern glamper needs a reasoning system to go with their conspicuous thermos cups and elaborate tent lighting?
Hmm, so "507 Insufficient Storage" when your station wagon can't hold all the tapes?
I'm aphantasic, but I can relate to almost going blind with inattention. Not like I now have a black visual field, but just losing awareness of what is actually in it, like it is some sort of matte painting put up…
Because other replies aren't really stating it explicitly, let me add... The water and power utilities are themselves large distributed systems. They need communications between elements just to function properly. They…
I agree on the style and influences particularly in the trilogy. Yes, there are pulpy aspects and tropes. To me, there are strong dashes of beat poet and impressionism as well. This shallowness is a style, but I think…
They are not part of the image of the scene. They wouldn't be focused by the optics. The optics would just be a slight attenuation much like the rest of the camera housing, film reel, operator, etc. So really a…
These things were cool when coveted or adopted by the cool characters. The tech devices were also used as markers of uncool rich people. Symbols of excess disposable income, rather than carefully invested aesthetics. In…
I don't think the novel necessarily implies this consciousness. It is left ambiguous. It could be an allegory for some artistic types who go on a sort of creative bender and work compulsively, nearly suppressing their…
At least with Gibson, I think cyberpunk idolized actual punk culture. The coolness was found, brought, or arranged by these characters. The scifi backdrop wasn't inherently cool. It was often soulless and dystopian. The…
