Personally I am glad no one mentioned that book. It's an overly long blog post with some anecdotes mixed in to stretch it to book length.

haste410 | 2 years ago | on: Visualizing fighting game mechanics (2020)
That's not something unique to fighting games. That's the concept of playing the metagame.
haste410 | 2 years ago | on: How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
> Each verb on the first line has a "mate" on the second.
Can you clarify what a "mate" is? What determines a word's "mate"? The position on the line? Their meaning?
haste410 | 2 years ago | on: Hip hop historians who are racing to preserve its story
Who is the "serious audience" and what is the "core product" they've given up?
haste410 | 2 years ago | on: Meta announces its Quest 3 VR headset
What else would you call it? The official announcement of it calls it a headset.
haste410 | 4 years ago | on: US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
What is your understanding based on?

> killing e.g. a pig is as moral as plucking an apple from a tree.
I don't know how you can make this argument. Does an apple tree feel pain, fear, or loss when it or another apple is plucked?

Crypto has become a shorthand for cryptocurrency. Google "crypto" and see what comes up.
haste410 | 5 years ago | on: A Monday Is a Tuesday Is a Sunday as Covid-19 Disrupts Internal Clocks
People's feelings of sameness everyday and of time dragging goes beyond the 9-5 schedule. I'm at home all day every day. After hours time doesn't matter because I have limited options for what to do and who to do it with. Same with the weekend. I am home doing the same things I did at home last weekend and the one before and the one before.

Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN?
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Study suggests daily meditation slows brain aging
That's not a source.
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Why Don’t We Just Ban Targeted Advertising?
How would that work for site like Facebook or Instagram or other sites where there is no clear relevant content to target?
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Walmart Gets Into Health Care
You mention the average doctor but what about the average patient? How many people out there do you think will take the time to read through papers and citations and have the understanding to weigh options vs googling symptoms and going with the first result?
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: If cash gets damaged, this Treasury team will make sure it’s not a lost cause
There is a great Planet Money episode that covers this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/30/535062249/epis...
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Hellvetica.ttf – Kern in Hell
Kerning is the amount of spacing between letters. Type with poorly applied kerning is a long standing joke as a way to annoy a designer. Font files can have the amount of kerning between letter pairs built in. This font is Helvetica with very poor kerning built in. It's "hell" for people who care about kerning.

Why #EpsteinStegoSaurus? What could the PGP key being embedded mean?
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Google Calendar Event Injection with MailSniper (2017)
This is mentioned in the article along with a way for spammers to get around it.
"There is an option that states “No, only show invitations to which I have responded”. This prevents the first method of injecting events from working. However, BHIS found that it is possible to set the target’s response status to “Accepted” using the Google API. This effectively bypasses this security setting."
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: Tulsi Gabbard Sues Google for Suspending Ad Account
It doesn't even have to be from people, she could just have a terrible email full of red flags and/or didn't send from a decent ESP with a good server reputation.
haste410 | 6 years ago | on: The Best Magazine Articles Ever (2012)
I would love a decent PDF as I don't like reading long form works on a screen. The best I've found is a scan of the magazine here: http://veryinteractive.net/library/what-is-code

Does anyone seriously believe he will do anything? Besides maybe giving Thiel's comments more attention I don't see anything coming from this
