You realize that’s precisely the problem we have at this very moment with private insurance companies, right?

Surely you could get a decent Android tablet with stand and charger to fulfill these requirements?

I have good news and bad news:

If you’re into it, it’s fine. If you’re not into it, let him know, and he’ll drop it unless he’s a skeeze. Some would argue he’s a skeeze to take the fantasy this far out of the blue, and that’s a valid position, but I feel that relationship boundaries will always have to be pushed by degrees, and how he reacts if you…

I don’t think this conclusion is supported by the data. If brain size truly led to increased preference for attractiveness, you’d expect the control group to fall somewhere between the small- and large-brained groups. In fact the control group spent the *most* time with the attractive males. They accounted for…

They did.

I would buy these in a heartbeat if there were a pair of little Peep eyeballs in each cookie.

Oh man, you haven’t heard? Cyan had a Kickstarter for a spiritual sequel to Myst using modern graphics, and it *just* came out! It’s called Obduction, and it’s awesome, *and* it’s getting VR support pretty soon.

I’d argue it does the exact opposite. Saying it’s “like magic” emphasizes the magnitude of the technological leap—if I invented this, I’d be quite flattered.

Oh my god Wolf Children is so sad. It’s a fantastic movie, but there will be tears.

What makes you say that?

Correct. Also holds true for different data rates in any standard—if you’ve got a user out on the lawn, only barely connected to the wifi, the data rate they’ve negotiated is going to be much slower, so they’ll spend a lot more time taking up bandwidth.

The deterministic universe *is* an emergent property of quantum uncertainty. We may not be able to predict specifics at Planck scale, but scale it up and predictable laws are easily able to ride on top.
