every college degree has only two pathways for careers
for example, if you get a degree in psychology, you can
1) help poor and underprivileged people: $30,000/year
2) research new ways to make people gamble even more: $700,000/year

One of the things I need to write down my thoughts on at some point is how college in the US is set up to produce Werner von Brauns at an unfathomable scale. The brightest minds of several generations all working to make things Worse because that's where the interesting, profitable work is.

thinking about how bloated video games have become over the past decade-and-a-half or so and wondering if maybe the upcoming hardware shortage could lead to video game studios re-learning the lost art of optimizing their god damn games before release like they used to

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Damn. My GOAT is cringe.
I know I shouldn't ever trust a company and get this one stings a little more than it should.

Keep popping in, doing a few layers, and then letting them cure. Natural skin is building up! Not concerned about surface imperfections because they only show up when the camera is an inch away

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Public information campaigns don't work! Pedestrian safety isn't some exotic issue that's never been addressed by policy before. We know exactly what works on this and it's almost entirely restriction and enforcement efforts aimed at drivers.
The single most effective thing NYC could do to make pedestrians feel less threatened by ebikes is a multilingual PSA campaign explaining to ebike riders that courtesy to pedestrians helps ebikers.
Be careful of strollers and old people. Don’t scare pedestrians. Apologize profusely if you do.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Urbanists will talk about how cars are a machine that makes you selfish and crazy, and I know it’s easy to roll your eyes at that but if you give drivers the ability to comment they will say “yes I am selfish and crazy”
I care about the harm to my sanity and schedule for being forced to go artificially slow
