    it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

    I really don't think it's even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It's just an entirely different device.

    I was an snes kid, so I never played that one and was blissfully unaware of its existence until I saw that review...

    Oddly enough, of all the avgn videos that I watched, this and the battletoads one really stuck with me.

    But temperature is not just the speed of a molecule right?

    It pretty much is.

    Like a molecule moving very fast through space can still be at a very low temperature, right?

    That very much depends on the relative speed of the molecule and you. If you're not moving in relation to the molecule, a collision between you and it won't do much. Now try being hit by it (or a bunch of them) at high or even relativistic speeds. The area of you that's hit will surely become pretty hot then.

    Like, have you seen footage of asteroid impacts? Have you seen shooting stars? Those are hot. Like, non-figuratively.

    The system, no matter how good its education, will never be able to turn everybody into "decent philosophers". Some people just aren't smart, no matter how good education might get. Some just are gullible. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be as well-educated as they can possibly be, but people and their capabilities just are a spectrum and always will be. And even if today's dumbest people will be as smart as today's "decent philosophers" by tomorrow, today's "decent philosophers" will still outsmart them, which is an issue if there are manipulative people with hidden agendas among them. Which they will be.

    This isn't an education issue, it's an information and misinformation issue. Giving anybody, including malicious actors, their own, personal channel to spread whatever information they want, regardless of its quality or truth, has turned out to be a terrible idea. The Internet kind of comes with the idea to give everyone access to all of humanity's information without taking into account that there should be a certain responsibility attached to the question of the creation of that information or that there should be a separation of concerns between people who spread information and people who have other interests than just informing people in the best way possible.

    Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.

    It's all about Windows as a service

    Windows isn't dead, but the idea of version numbers could be

    Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers

    I love the positivity, but I don't get it. Why is the union of "act + do your best" and "imagine a better future" the question "why are you here"? Same for the other overlapping areas.
