Jeff Bezos often talks about acting now so as to minimize regret when you are 80. Interestingly enough this article says that 80 is a magical number for life reflection. Probably not a coincidence knowing Bezos.

I'm surprised they didn't go with the headline that practically wrote itself: Tether Becomes Untethered

I just finished reading Wait But Why's excellent article on NeuralLink https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

I wonder if these top-down beta rythmes would force out implanted data similar to white blood cells and viruses.

I would think that if elephants are smart enough to learn that recorded buzzing is not a threat then they will also learn that the fake hives don't pose a threat.

I like how they were still charging $3.99 for shipping. Maybe Amazon can implement Excel's useful circular reference warning (/s)

Of course if we could make a bagel cutter in the spirit of the popular bagel guillotine slicer that cuts a linked bagel we could be millonaires.

My team at work thinks of every excuse possible to get bagels. Recently for a birthday, a work anniversary, and being restacked into new cubes. But this is the best possible excuse for bringing in bagels again on Monday.

This a a really useful article for me to read since I have a car with adaptive cruise control and have only slowly learn to trust and rely upon it for my daily commute. Now I will be searching for my owners manual and actually reading the thing.

Can anyone explain to me the draw behind the Animoji? While the underlying technology has potential, did it have to manifest itself this way?

Facinating concept. I like how they embed their philosophy into the article by saying the idea was thought up in 01995.

1. spend 10 minutes playing with the kids 2. make dinner 3. Put kids to bed 4. Watch Netflix while doing dishes. 5. 30 minutes of DataCamp 6. 30 minutes of reading 7. Sleep

I was very surprised to see a pub (Sean's) owned by Boy George on this list!

That's when you pulled out your trusty slide-rule. I never used one but my EE teachers always talked about them.

I could see this as a useful feature added to an existing platform like Facebook where there are pre-existing network effects, but I wouldn't personally be prompted to download another app for this.

Markov chain?

I agree with the physical and mental connection. I use a kettlebell daily because of the combination of cardio and resistance training. Pavel's Enter the Kettlebell is a great source of inspiration for toughness.

I suggest putting the About page as an option on the top right menu. I almost missed it at the bottom of the page.

VSauce is a science channel which I find both entertaining and educational. Fun and fast paced and often mind-bending.

Clever scrolling taglines. Seems like your target audience would be a party crowd, and you might want to play that up a bit.

Amazon has already been using machine learning to separate fresh vs. moldy strawberries; I'm sure AI will be able to identify the freshest cookies better than humans in the near future.

I printed up this website on my dot matrix printer to read for later.

Those of us EEs will know it's j.

It's always crazy to see HN and Drudge link to the same article.

While I too had a hard time reading through the website, I was amused by the author's style (e.g. "the moderators visit the room frequently and can bust your bubble") and also enjoy the names of the bots such as Guttenberg, as a nod to the famous plagiarism scandal in Germany.

It would be funny if some of these trends reverse in a few years and he writes another article titled "I Was Wrong About Being Wrong About Bitcoin".

I had no idea there was a 2, thanks for sharing. Opening up that tileset brought memories of hours spent on certain levels flooding back!

Reminds me of spending hours upon hours on Chip's Challenge. Unfortunately this doesn't seem mobile friendly.
