    So you're telling me the series closely follows the 9? 12? books of the Foundation Trilogy...

    A few more episodes in the pacing is a real problem. Now I'm just watching because I'm invested in the characters, but the main epic story is really moving at snail's pace.

    #Foundation is a very good series, judging from the first episode. It takes Asimov's grand galactic imperial scope and vision add three-dimensional people with motivations and purpose. Beautifully shot, acted and rendered, of course.

    People are making so much cool stuff now that has finally become technologically possible.

    Folks making alternatives: don’t recreate the systems of closed, centralised silos. They’re designed with the needs and success criteria of closed, centralised organisations. You cannot compete with them on their own terms. They have the resources to create centralised workflows, you do not. And your success criteria are the opposite of theirs. You do not want to centralise information, power, and wealth. Think about where your strengths lie and design from first principles according to those.

    I think everyone should learn at least a little bit of computer programming, so they can learn to hate computers at deeper level.

    Some of us still do that - make the content the most important thing on the page, rather than the chrome and the flash and the bling...

    remember when web site designers worked really hard to cut down the amount of nonsense on the web page so it would spend fewer server, network and client resources, and would load faster? those were the days. that was before surveillance capitalism took hold, I suppose.

    "htyps" is the secure typos protocol. This should have been "https" instead.

    Me too! I've been reading things for radio broadcast, but I have no idea what I'm saying... Concentrating too hard on reading ahead of what I'm speaking so I can do the intonation right...

    funny thing, when I read stuff aloud, it's like DMA, it doesn't go through the CPU, and I can't recall what I've heard. I only retain what I read if I read it quietly

    Even with mass-energy equivalency, it is much easier to change mass into energy than the other way around. But as far as changing an object's *weight* by pressing a button, that should be possible. Weight is dependent on both on the mass and distance separating two (or more) objects, or the acceleration of an object. If pressing the button initiates something to accelerate that object away from another object then its weight will change...

    (Note: Pedantic me has not yet watched Eureka, so I don't know how this weight-changing object is used)

    nah, it was entirely fictional AFAIK. Eureka was the fictional city of genius inventors in the series. no amount of internal motors could enable a ball to dynamically change its weight. though mass is energy, in day-to-day life you can most often assume it's conserved, which is why I found it so creative and amusing
