Happy Birthday! (in 2020)!

I really like the APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) Chrome/FF extension:

Guardians of the Galaxy. That movie was just stupid.

Call me crazy, but how about we RE-USE previous locations?

Is there a "professional" documentary to watch? I'd love if there was one. And don't try to buy me off with some "amateur" docs, I am a gentleman dear sir.

After reading a lot of these comments I think people confuse innovation with invention.

I applaud you dear sir.

People will always try...

At first I wonder if we should be even using the word 'watch' and not some form of 'wrist computer'. I say this to try to remove the idea that the main idea of such a device is to tell time. I'd say the only absolute function I would want from this device is notifications, some controls, and perhaps maps/directions.

I question whether the word "Watch" should be used to describe the item we want. I think Wrist Computer makes more sense. Why should the screen be limited to the size of a watchface and face outwards? That restricts the size of the screen and makes it difficult to read. Why not have the default positioning of the…

Let me see the Riverbank test and then I'll believe their 20-30 dB reduction. I wonder what the numbers are though on the low frequencies where traffic noise is worse (around 250 Hz), and how that effects the subjective opinion of how much noise is reduced.

Getting a little judgmental here aren't we? He's not hurting anyone, let him do whatever the hell he wants.

The next killer app is saving me $15 a month on SMS charges? Woop-dee-fuck. I'll use whoever's service, I don't care. Why should I care? Honestly, what difference does it make who's service sends my 2 bits text to another person.

Everyone should be at least very good at basic algebra (i.e. balancing an equation). You may say "but I don't need to use algebra" but that is only because you aren't good/comfortable/don't know algebra. There is an application for algebra every day in nearly any job. Think of algebra as a gateway to efficiency.

Making $50k a year puts me in the 1% of the world? Too bad in San Francisco that doesn't get you very far.

The Ballad of Mike Haggar.

I once used beans wrapped in a paper towel and took a hammer to it. It was about a 75% fail :(

So you're saying we should go to Mars because it has more gravity? I'm really not following what you're arguing for. Do you want to go to Mars or not?

Mars has about a third the gravity the Earth has, the moon 1/6th. I have no idea why this is a benefit.

I still don't get the 'send people to Mars' thing. Doesn't it make more sense to build a Lunar colony first and then, using what we've learned, go to Mars?
