Seeing as how I'm still in my first job out of college, I haven't experienced this, but I understand it's common.

I like that they manage to capture the robot's emotions surprisingly well.

Pretty amazing the quality of life difference by getting this implant.

Some thoughts on what is probably my favorite Trek episode of all time. Hard to believe it aired 21 years ago - right around when I started watching new episodes regularly.

At the very least these legal interpretations need to be public so that they can be appealed for the blatantly unconstitutional laws that they are.

I definitely feel that our future lies in the stars.

A nice review of the issues.

I maintain this was the coolest WWDC demo in years, even though it was widely panned.

This is an amazing set of predictions, both in what he gets right and wrong. He has many broad concepts, and their advantages, but was unable to see how digitization would change the implementation. I like how he thought electronic circuits might someday operate at 10 MHz, and that the computers of the future would require a "whole roomful of girls".

I think this is a good point. I like the reference to how the Internet routes around damage.

"Maybe sci-fi isn't always about conveying science with 100 percent accuracy, or even 5 percent," she continues. "But it is about sharing that joy that we as scientists feel." This.

I definitely need to read their book.

Men grow up expecting to be the hero of their own story. Women grow up expecting to be the supporting actress in somebody else's.

Interesting discussion of the role media reporting has to play in waves of suicides, especially among youth.

"We have no historical data, so we'll just accept your reasoning for the time being, even though you have every incentive in the world to lie about the quality of your product." So many perverse incentives screwed us all.

Yay capitalism. My IAPs in F2P games are almost always limited to hiding ads, and rarely to unlock expansions. I avoid consumables.

Epic. In theory I'm capable of this kind of debugging?

Interesting point, although not something I had enough dating experience to really encounter.

Sadly this is pretty much what these pickup guides recommend.

I'll have to read more on this. I'm more familiar with how WWI and II are really just the same war with a ceasefire.

I'm not too surprised by my results, but it is annoying.

Concur.

"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem". I don't buy the arguments that they can't make their back catalog available everywhere for pay.

Lee & Low Books is a children’s book publisher that specializes in multicultural literature. Since 1991, they have been tracking statistics (via the

I think these cover the main reasons - not enough representation, marketing, etc. that keep non-white protagonists mostly out of YA.

I too thought it was more wiped out.

I have enough technological utopianism to believe it's a net good, but it's also why I've come to realize how important the social safety net is. On a smug level, I picked the right career (for now).

It's an interesting coevolution - mobile GPUs allow fancy effects, while fancy effects push for more powerful mobile GPUs, and so on.
