Huh, I didn't realize you could do this kind of precise matching. Impressive.

Some pretty impressive materials analysis. Unsurprisingly Apple is taking existing materials and techniques up a notch, which is why it feels so much nicer than other smart watches.

Hopefully 1Password with length 16 (32 when allowed) is sufficient.

On the one hand "see something say something" can do some good, but involving the authorities increasingly seems like an unnecessary escalation.

Cool history of inspirations that led to the creation of one of my favorite new iOS games.

If there was any doubt that copyright law is broken, the idea that you're only licensing a physical non-media object because it happens to contain software is crazy to me.

An interesting additional point regarding Yoda's failure to defeat the Emperor in III.

I'm inclined to take the side of the astronomers, since they're the ones whose public good need for spectrum is being polluted on by private use.

Calling in the police tends to escalate.

Some good points about rape culture. I know I've felt frustrated that just walking fast from the bus stop can be seen as threatening. It's hard to stand up to the minor affronts that perpetuate the worst behaviors.

Great points about stigma surrounding panic and anxiety.

Surprising no one. I hope this rule survives.

Some interesting thoughts on the kind of sexist opposition Clinton has faced and face, and how she handles it.

Scathing feminist and anti-corporate critique of Clinton's candidacy.

Reactionaries abound.

Some great points about representation and race and gender in the context of the new Unicode 7 emoji.

I hate how much my education implied this had all been fixed.

Surprised this isn't more positive, but again, it's first-gen, and it's a new category.

Some good points, more or less that the Apple Watch is the best smart watch, but that it's still not entirely clear who it will work best for.

This was a pretty meh review... he's positive on it, but doesn't really sell it. I guess his use cases are way different... and he's particularly interested in the physical design of it.

This is crazy. I've been correcting people on brontosaurus for as long as I can remember.

Great points, and some related ideas on manliness. I'm curious about the Christian perspective on this with regards to manly portrayals of Jesus.

This is the Professor Obama I like to see, nuanced and pragmatic, but not silent or inactive.

Amazingly detailed explanation of ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ manufacturing porn.

Unexpectedly sad.

I don't know what Franzen was thinking. Also doesn't surprise me that the Vikings stadium has something else wrong with it.

I think I'll still enjoy it, as I did Beyond Earth. Some interesting general points about the 4X genre.

They got so much access it almost feels like a marketing piece. Interesting to get some of the interaction design ideas though.

Crazy. I had no idea demand for sand for concrete was such a problem.

Neat background on emoticons and GIFs entering written language.
