- pomianObviously, we die hard fans and users agree.
- Nice summation of the tech product world And the political situation at the same time! It is amazing that small schisms on the good side, are so highly beneficial to the dark side.
- The issue before this one, is even more interesting and relevant to today's political situation. About Revolution in the USA.
- On the other hand, an app for your phone, or digital display placed by an artifact, it a bar code: could have as much detail as possible, with more and more in depth lessons that you can investigate depending on your own level of curiosity. (Or age.) A fantastic museum of the world - natural and human history in Ottawa, was great. But imagine, they have a diorama depicting a historical scene... Then there is a display counter in front where you can read what's going on in the diorama. Also a few selected elements from the display, shown behind that glass, but visible up close for us to admire. What is the description of a brass ring, in the display: "A brass ring."! We can see that! WTF? But we want to know: where was it found, what was it's purpose, why is this down here not something else. What era is it from? You could dig deeper: how was it made? Who made it? Where? With what technology? Brass? How did they blend the raw materials? Who wore it? Etc etc etc. A little electronic display could have that, It a link for everyone to follow - bar code for example we could scan. It could even link to a Wikipedia page, whatever. But, something! More than: "A brass ring"
- I just replaced my screen background with a photo from Mars with a big granitic(?)/ granodiorite(?) Boulder, surrounded by volcanic rocks. It is an amazing quandary! Fun to look at, and think - ok, how was this made!? To simplify: the Boulder: is a white rock with black crystals, whereas all the surrounding rocks are dark grey or black(look like lava.) The Boulder is somewhat round(let's say 1 meter across +-100%), has been broken at some of the edges, and rounded at others. How was it broken? Rounded, and the fact it isn't in the Chevy place judging by the surrounding rocks, HOW, did it get there? So we are looking at various igneous processes at work here. Deep and surface. Plus, transport, by water? Ice? Liquid CO2? Unknown.

- Try Suunto. Works over Bluetooth only. Great system... So far.
- Try a Suunto. Very different than Garmin. (I found better battery, and menu.)
- This project has invoked a lot of very interesting dialogue and discussion - Very fun fit for HN. Someone mentioned Kim Stanley Robinson's book: Aurora. (There is an audiobook version.) I recommend it also... It is a bit long winded but presents a lot of detail and thinking on many of the ideas discussed in this comment section. A very fun read. A grand adventure similar to old school science fiction books. One of the brilliant concluding quotes, went something like; The earth is an interstellar spaceship too.
- All the good story tellers went to work at computer game companies.
- We are going up, slowly, in health, literacy, education - globally. But, like all progress, it is up up and down, then again up up and down. Thanks to retro grades like Putin and Trump. As to health indenture -that form of slavery is primarily in USA. Most other countries have figured it out. I agree with hope for the future though. Star Trek, not Star Wars!
- Reminds me of the book Saturn Run, by John Sanford - which has a lot of effort put into the technology and radiation of heat in their space ship. Fun science fiction book.
- It could be that reality is more "exciting" than any fiction, and your mind can't handle any more.
- Yup. Switch to Firefox or fennec and use ublock. Clean story. Even can use text mode.
- Motorola. Plus it still has an audio port.
- I mean, it makes some sort of visual sense, but can't grasp the results from the matrices shown.
- Even in Polish, this comes out Greek to me.
- They chose that class. The syllabus stated what they are going to study. Having an expert in a subject explain something you want to understand, is what you pay for. There are many ways of expanding your knowledge. To each his own.
- Wasn't there a hanging tram under the train going over the Berlin wall? (For workers at Checkpoint Charlie i believe.)
- I think you should start one!
