  • Stop doing what you enjoy and pay attention to what I want.

  • The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.

    Jump

  • That's me. Best way I can describe it is like a word cloud but no text or dialog. A bunch of concepts with varying importance and strength of connections.

  • What's the scariest movie you've watched?

    Jump

  • Yeah I saw Alien when I was like 7 or 8.

    Paul Krugman. He is the author of 27 books. He has a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    Jump

  • Sort of. There isn't a Nobel prize for economics. He has a Sveriges Riksbank that's given at the same ceremony.

  • Re-posted.

  • Dogs vs Cats

    Jump

  • Maybe it's because dogs are often big enough to kill you. My cat gets angry I didn't snuggle right and swats. The cats that big enough to kill us people seldom live with and attacks are frequent.

  • GOG (xcancel): "we want to stress that when you trust players, they give you every reason to keep trusting them: only 0.03% of our active users in October abused our Refund Policy."

    Jump

  • Without copy protection you can buy the game download it and then refund right away. Then you can still play the game.

  • Why Trump's 50 Year Mortgage Scheme Is an Even Worse Idea Than You Imagined

    Jump

  • A portion of the payment goes to interest and a portion goes to the principal. The first payment is almost all interest and a tiny bit of principal. The last is almost all principal and a tiny bit of interest.

    As you reduce the principal you are paying less in interest each payment and more principal.

    One way to greatly reduce your loan time is to pay one extra payment each year year having it go all to principal. That can cut 4-6 years of a 30 year mortgage.

  • Question: Does a higher refresh rate monitor make sense?

    Jump

  • So I've done research on what display traits work best for people for remote operation. An the answer is it varies a lot from person to person.

    Everybody shows task improvement and likes it better as you increase to 30fps. From 30fps to 60fps most people improve and like the experience better but image quality starts to matter more. (we used different levels of compression for quality)

    After 60fps most people benefit from better image quality and don't get much from higher FPS . However there is a small group that shows a huge preference and improved preformance with higher fps even at the expense of much lower image quality.

    The high FPS people responded instantly and vocally when we increased in the FPS during the test. So you may be in the high FPS group but you should be able to tell with a brief eyes on test of a high FPS system.

  • Paramount Reportedly Wants “Fresh” Take For Star Trek, Moving On From Another Kelvin Movie

    Jump

  • They used to do that but in the same episode. Is one of the reasons hour long shows often had an A story and B story.

    It also made commercial breaks less jarring as you were already used to bouncing between stories.

  • What is even worth than worthsless?

  • Cancer

  • What TV series introduced a plot point, only to abandon or never properly explore or address it??

    Jump

  • Orphan Black. The clones seemed a minor part of whatever Neolution was doing in session 1. By season 2 every tech not clone related is dropped.

  • What TV series introduced a plot point, only to abandon or never properly explore or address it??

    Jump

  • The creators wanted session 2 to be a different cast and setting. A bunch of grad students that discovered the upside down. Netflix said no keep the kids they are popular.

    So they used the original session 2 ideas for that episode.

  • What is your favorite recurring show within a show?

    Jump

  • The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

  • US teacher shot by six-year-old student awarded $10m by jury

  • That's our school lunch program. Here is a gun, go kill something and eat it.

  • Why do game devs keep making horrible Linux Ports?

    Jump

  • GNOME devs making a bad decision!? Never! /S

  • Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent

    Jump

  • So I was on a jury. The officer involved testified on some things that made it sound very bad for the defendant.

    Then we saw the body cam of part the interaction. Technically what he said was true but extremely exaggerated. Made us discount everything he said that wasn't on video.

    We ended thinking the defendant was probably guilty but they didn't prove it so we decided not guilty.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?
