I went to Princeton and took linear algebra - at that time taught by none other than John Conway - of game of life fame. It was by far the best math class I've ever taken. This author's experience is likely valid, but I suspect the professor teaching the course had a large responsibility for its low rating.
fire with fire? i like the post card art!
two criticisms; the whole idea is a bit hypocritical (sending more spam) and doesn't address the underlying issue of spam mail. Have a place to sign up for a "do not spam" list on your website and give users the option to "F JUNK MAIL" for $2.00. Also, I think you should make the price $1 because sending a post card has a known price and it's quite easy to do so offline. Why should they use your service and pay more?
I love the idea of a 'do not junk mail' list as part of the payment fee. Anyone know of an api or form to submit someone's address to (with their consent of course) in order to be added to a 'do not junk mail' list?
After reading this article I am sure of one thing, he is not a minority. This existential crisis of "weirdness" he refers to is the luxury of those who are supposed to be normal.
Prescription of modafinil for any reason other the conditions for which it's indicated (hypersomnia or accepted off label use) is highly irresponsible of physicians.
The ability of the author to predict the future of technology is spot on. Makes me shudder to think about what will be written when we're all 90 year old men. What science / technological wonders we'll never see.
This is the most beautiful use of art and technology I've ever seen. Potentially a whole new subclass of painting. Forget animating old images, I could imagine modern artists creating works of art only for this medium.
Doctor here, without any knowledge of your past medical history or any other details of the story (big disclaimer) sounds like you're have simple partial seizures. Are you on any antiepileptic medications? Have you ever had an EEG?
Never had a egg, and medications, no serious medical records, never had a seizure, or any mental disease, my teachers actually thought i was a smartass sometimes, and also healthy social interactions
