That would be interesting, I wonder if there would be nanobot-like "pipes" (or some other framework) built into the physical structure of homes?

I wonder how these would be interpreted with the author's point that: "Liberal readers preferred basic science (physics, astronomy, zoology), while conservatives went for applied and commerc…

Speaking of that, I wonder when there will be robots (i.e., with good software) that will help take out the garbage, clean the toilets, and possibly fix plumbing?

Check out Ted Chiang. He did technical writing for programmers, and science fiction writing for the public. His famous piece, "Story of Your Life", was turned into the film, "Arrival&q…

That would be interesting, I wonder if that will build new nonlinear theories.

This is very useful. I'll check out this vocabulary, wrnr, thank you!

I wonder if data scientists engage in a triangulation* of their sources and models to explain things? *I refer to this sense of triangulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triang…

This might be behind a paywall for some. If so, google the title. Useful insights.

This makes me think of Wittgenstein's point that words shape our reality and also limit our perception of reality. "Emotion" is a word that's a human construct. Going along with t…

I think there are lots of factors involved with names, but yeah. Even the spelling of names makes a difference. Interesting example: Dale Carnegie deliberately changed his last name from "Carnag…

I wonder if this text is a good introduction for someone who's a newbie and wants to learn about software development? Is this book used in the mainstream community?

This happened to me with the recent change with Gmail. I was quite sad to see the loss of UI simplicity when they tweaked the layout and aesthetics. I loved their previous iteration because things mo…

Interesting read, bevensky. I assumed they were going to go all out via Whole Foods. Interesting way to think about this on how they are timing this and how they are targeting different markets. I w…

Thanks for the explanation. Interesting perspective. I'm finding that certain customer tribes over time get turned off by the point that "maximizing profits is the only true value, and wha…

This is a bit scary. I wonder what Damian Sendler will do with this. Will he turn this into a story and then sell it to Hollywood? This reminds me of a profile written recently in The New Yorker whe…

Interesting point, badpun. I think there's an assumption that generally a good company: "treats their customers with decency and respect." I wonder if one problem is that cultural/…

Good point. Hmm, I still wonder if there will be breakthroughs in the TV-YouTube style.

Hmm, it's hard, I kind of agree. I wonder if some social media tech will lose impact and fade away, while others (perhaps, unprecedented, not made yet) will gain impact?

Innovation in the comedy world. Haven't seen much progress in funny, mainstream, entertainment since Ricky Gervais introduced the mockumentary-style format. Though, even that has a history dati…
