I thought I was unable to learn math, until I learned it outside of a school. One book like Prime Obsession was worth more to me than every moment of high school math. It's unbelievable to me that anyone can learn something devoid of context. I think there's a similar problem in how second languages are taught in schools as well.
Same here. Now I do independent research (on primes) and am learning higher level mathematics myself by reading older edition textbooks. Mathematics is the best toolset to reason about reality. It's a shame that most people do not know or care to partake in it. It's the purest form of intrinsic truth there is in this universe.
I think it's also just useful to learn for the way it makes you stop and examine the world around you, your own decisions, in a new and more analytical light. Besides, if you're into physics, it's the only way; you can't visualize a 10-sphere.
Why would embracing one destroy the other? I think a combination of gestural interface, subvocalization voice recognition, and AR could be the big winner in our lifetimes. The text won't be bound to a screen, you don't give anything up, you just gain.
When you need to get into serious writing or bulk data entry, maybe it would be a keyboard.
I think it just means you have a bit of empathy, and awareness of how other people might view you. Many, if not most people seem to lack those qualities in general, never mind in relation to their phones.
On the topic, something which reads your subvocalizations is really needed, and could even increase the speed!
Unfortunately New York isn't the only place pricing people out of a home.
By the way, About 2% of Americans live in New York City alone. At least 1% are not having a great time with rent that outstrips their potential earnings.
Imagine having the last few years of your life publicly defecated on because you opted to ship instead of delay.
Ryan Holtz (of Minecraft/Mojang/EA Tiburon fame) was on the release team for Superman Returns. The game (and especially the parts he worked on) was very competent; it just didn't mesh well as a whole. He's understandably really sensitive about the whole thing, even years later. It would be good to keep in mind that there are human beings with emotions behind these games.
NMS underdelivered, but it was still a beautiful game. In this era of DLC-as-bugfixes, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the features people complained about were implemented later.
So you're saying you feel bad for the person who chose to lie in exchange for millions and millions of dollars?
By any chance, are you yourself rich? I can see how that would make it easier to sympathize with someone like Sean Murray. If not, then why would you feel bad for someone who got paid millions and millions of dollars for lying for years? Isn't having a lot of money a good thing?
There is a strange, hardcore of people who love No Man's Sky. I don't mean people who like it, I mean people who (literally) brag about buying multiple copies and playing hundreds of hours. Those people do not like the reception the game has gotten, and have failed to integrate the reasons for that reception well with their own extreme enjoyment.
