I care about their latest movie or album, which is what the interview itself is usually about.

I think they are the same thing, the magazine just put it in fun language so the reader would be more interested.

This structure is why I don't like those ridiculous interviews where it starts with "the actor sits in his home with [long description of furniture], wearing [long description of clothes], he sips coffee from a [long description of mug]". I just want the interview, I understand that the actor is living somewhere and wearing something, it does not matter.

Apple will not react until it is punished, I think. Too big to be scared but also too big to notice that it’s actually in danger.

These look really good, I love the style. Don't know if I'm interested in them as trading cards but posters or "stickers" with this style actually seem like a very cool idea. Instead of traditional paper stuff you get a display thing which you can change and make better or fit your taste more.

It's a sign of dedication and how much time someone could have before social media and/or becoming old

You say it like it's a fact, so I assume you have proof? Durov is very vocal about being in exile so this looks doubtful.

Lynch has very unique tastes, so it is very possible that he likes the material and the color and there is no other reason for it. But he is also a very funny man with a good sense of humor, so it can also be a joke from him specifically to have people argue about the curtains.

It also feels a little strange in writing. Examples:

"Figure Figure11 shows a mountain gorilla lying on the ground on his side without a pillow" - Of course it is without a pillow, it's a mountain gorilla! What is this clarification?

"To start with, some Westerners have to hold on to a doorframe." - Would it not be better to say "you may have to hold on" or "newbies"? It is not like Westerners have some special physiological feature that makes them do it, it's about lack of practice.

I read they only showed ads in a few countries as a test and now plan to expand. They also said they'll share the money from ads with channel owners, since ads are only shown in public channels. No idea which countries will be included, though, wonder if the EU will get them.

Perhaps it is because it is a USA thing, but I do not understand the limits they talk about in the article. These Amish cannot use electricity... but they can use solar power? Why is regular electricity in their faith worse than the same energy harnessed via solar power? What is the difference from their point of view?

We can hope it's not for the rest of one's life but only until a better solution is found. For people with deadly allergies, a few years of injections might not be too big of a price, I think.

Any examples? I don't remember any news about this, although the only publication I can remember with major changes recently is Pitchfork.

The comparison to Apple is strange - Apple is literally only serving one phone and that's their brand's stand-out thing. Competitors like Xiaomi, Motorola, etc, all make different models. Of course 57 models a year is too much but few other companies make only one phone with minor variations. Nokia was working in a market with fast changing technology and higher number of competitors, they had to keep innovating and marketing new stuff.

It fits "important". It is not essential like some organs but if it protects immune system and bacteria, it is definitely important.

The truth thing is, these cities will never become major powers again

Nobody claimed the opposite? Who exactly are you arguing with on this?

But I will argue that France and England are still major powers. France is core to the EU and pretty much controls it together with Germany. England is a power politically, but perhaps not economically. Its cultural exports are huge too. Power changed, but the power holders remain the same.

Can some explain how it is possible that an official archive would have this document and never look at it? The missing script for a never-made movie should attract attention, but nobody cared until this one writer found it? Why?

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! The only part that seems kind of regular is the pulse change. I assume imagining a tranquil situation to lower one's pulse is kind of like meditation and should probably be achievable for many? Not sure about raising the pulse though, that seems more difficult.

I think you and the previous commenter have very different opinions on what "all" means. Connecting to parents and grandparents by knowing what art they like is one thing, but, for example, I have hundreds of photos of random bills and documents that I need to remember for later. None of my descendents would ever want to read through that unless they were investigating my life like in a movie.

Yes, the photo in the article looks very cramped. Probably the same tightness in all other areas of the station, with a few exceptions. I wonder if they make any changes to free space from time to time?

My favorite is about the latest Pokemon game that has a fully rendered ocean at all times, which ruins the game's loading time and is, if I remember, never explored.

AI is a tool, a bazooka is not. You can use AI to create and research just as you can use it for harm, you can only the bazooka to destroy. It's a bad comparison, especially because the idea that creators of something have no responsibility about how it works is just not practical in real world. Facebook constantly has legal issues due to how people use their platform, this is them trying to prevent AI form bringing more lawsuits upon them.

I don't think virtual reality should feel real. It's the same as animation or painting - if you can make it look real, of course it takes skill and looks impressive, but these things let you create absolutely unreal things. Space monsters, landscapes like Van Gogh did, talking fish, whatever one can imagine.

Of course it will not have details, but when you know something isn't real, the details will not matter as much.

Not saying you are wrong but the comment is from the OP, who, I'd hope, read the article before posting. They could have easily read it, typed up the comment and then posted.

But how often could that happen? I thought derailments are very rare in modern trains.

And it has so many clones! I played at least 10 when I was younger with different animals or popular characters, same mechanics of having to save them before they die.

It's strange, even though the graphics of San Andreas definitely don't look good, this somehow looks worse to me. It's like smoothing out the outdated models and making them higher resolution makes them seem worse. Not blaming the developers of this, just surprised that a much stronger engine ends up looking worse somehow, maybe it's just the initial shock?

I have seen similar joke poems but this one was too much for me. I even saw words I never heard of before, like "sward". For anyone like me - it's a lawn or a meadow.

I would agree. Not sure why 8 hours of shots of Iceland with no narration is better than a TV show in daytime? Not all of it is trash, maybe they are showing classic movies. Even if it is some soap opera, at least the aunt will feel engaged with people, even if those people are characters on TV. Living alone at that age must be lonely, let her have her joys.

How is it more ethical if you don't pay for the product and no money goes to the author? Writers always say that preorders and direct purchases really matter. Of course DRM is bad, but why is piracy ethical in this case?

They probably mean in the context of the thread. Layoffs are not a good thing, definitely not with Bandcamp, where the curators and writers are essential. But they are specifically bad in this context if they target union team members.
