- Comment on Biological computers could use far less energy than current technology – by working more slowly 3 days ago:
To a point. They are talking about slowing down how long it takes an instruction to complete. Unless you gain a lot of efficiency with very little slow down, it’s not going to happen anytime soon. At some point in the future it may become worth doing so, but we’re no where near that point now.
- Comment on Biological computers could use far less energy than current technology – by working more slowly 3 days ago:
This is pretty non starter for most tasks. The point of computers is to be able to do things quickly, not just do them at all. Data centers are already very concerned about cost and power efficiency.

- Comment on Three Men Die When Google Maps Tells Them to Drive Off Unfinished Bridge 3 weeks ago:
Man, I went to like 3 different Targets to find an item because the company that made the item said those Targets carried it. None of them did.
Of course, nothing is better than a store saying they carry an item when they in fact do not. That happens pretty frequently when I’m looking for something specific. Not out of stock mind you, but they will never have stock.

- Comment on Japanese firm demos tech that makes any object a capacitive touch surface — stuffed cat on display, works with wood, ceramic, and plasterboard, too 1 month ago:
It could be a neat way to interact with something. Probably not intended for home use. At least I can’t think of a reason for it. Perhaps drawing, but there’s dedicated tools for that and I doubt this is going to be as good.

- Comment on Grab a load of hit digital board games in this new Humble Bundle 4 months ago:
Not sure I’d call the Terraforming Mars one a hit since most everyone says multiplayer is basically unusable and the devs refuse to fix it. I’ve been waiting for that ever since I learned about the digital version.
