Comment Netflix wins (Score 1) 229

The recent Netflix is the world leader and streaming is because they are really language agnostic. They did not start up by guessing what type of content different communities might want to see, but just put a lot of stuff up and Iâ(TM)ll see what sticks. Turns out theyâ(TM)re outstanding foreign language programs. In addition, netflix has a drop-down menu for different language choices when watching content that is quite large I think about 15 or 20 and some cases. Instead of having American content creators complain about that perhaps they should embrace it, and they might become a bit more successful.

Comment the Long-game for Apple Vision Pro (Score 1) 140

"...I think Apple is in a very weird place at the moment. The Vision Pro was a dud, but it was also the most interesting and future-forward thing I've seen anyone put out in a while. If they were smart, they'd tread water and sink as much money into making that as small as humanely possible -- no matter how long it takes -- because the entire AI bubble is a result of everybody running out of hypergrowth ideas, mostly because we're flat out of new interfaces...." The AVP is perhaps Apple's most valuable product right now. Basically all of the users are beta testing "futureware " ( or is tit future wear ?) to see how we will interact with virtually presented things such as a virtual keyboard screen or even a dinosaur running at you. I understand that at some point, the hardware will follow and Apple will be once again King of the computer hardware for consumers.

Comment Re:Why: Privatization == free money? (Score 1) 42

“ privatization “ is not the same as “ using the private sector”. The former is a problem when the institutions such as JPL have a nonprofit long-term mission with goals that are not quantifiable. The latter is a great use when there is a specific task with a specific timetable for deliverables is defined.

IT IS A GREAT ART TO SAUNTER, wrote a great American Philosopher and Culturel Critic. Exercise such a running or walking should be for overall well being, not yet another competition. I think we have enough goals and tasks already in pour lives. I heard the term "gratitude walk" the other day. Apparently this is yet another task oriented goal. You're supposed to go for a walk and force yourself to think about things for which you are grateful. It just seems like another way to make otherwise pleasant, relaxing walk into yet another "must-do "activity.

Comment Insulin, duh (Score 1) 73

This is basic physiology 101. I learned this 25 years ago : if you eat sugar, whether sucrose or fructose, the brain understands that our body probably encountered a big bush of food and itâ(TM)s time to store the energy for later use. Thatâ(TM)s called building fat. thatâ(TM)s what the insulin hormone does.
