    Nowadays I mostly get cardio by trying to outrun Skydio R1 In the future, I could see this as a training tool, with R1 setting pace on arbitrary routes and capturing video for those whose social persona includes running/training Only works if you don't need to fly the drone 😄

    "In 1995, the US capped sulfur dioxide emissions (the primary cause of acid rain) and issued tradable permits. By 2010, emissions were down nearly 70 percent and health-care costs were reduced by as much as $100 billion." source:

    "As you look through these images of imaginative travel destinations, remember that you can be an architect of the future." These posters from JPL are amazing. Seems likely that we as a society have underinvested in our imagination function of positive futures.

    Having the self-belief that you will be able to figure things out as you go along is critical to success at anything hard. Get started and trust yourself. No one has all the answers at the beginning.

    If you're on a 2-3 year old iOS device, update to iOS 12 and get a new battery from Apple and you can hold off on upgrading for another year or two

    Credit to Apple: iOS 12 is the only iOS update I’ve ever tested that measurably, consistently improves performance on older phones and tablets. And I’ve been doing this since iOS 6 and the iPhone 3GS.

    This is pretty crazy: We put the iPhone Xr's machine-learning based segmentation into our portrait mode — yes, it works on your iPhone X. It retains tiny details like hair and glasses perfectly. Incredibly cool stuff.

    Portrait Matte (PEM) support means you get to use iPhone Xr's brilliant segmentation technology for great Portrait mode shots today. This keeps amazing details in Portrait mode like hairs and glasses. And we've got a new, custom, and gorgeous blur to go with it.

    One day old folks will role play in VR environments like this. Second Life was right but early

    For a break from the news cycle, I wrote about a faux 1950s town that just opened in SoCal to help spark the memories of dementia patients. There are plans to franchise it all over the country. Real estate will increasingly reflect an aging America:

    Time stamp: despite the fact that this startup basically just helps agencies and Fortune 500 companies do lame ad campaigns, their shutdown will be used to say AR is disappointing. The hot takes will come out within 12 months of Apple glasses announcement

    I hate that the term PC is so tightly linked to x86 laptops/desktops. I prefer to think of the personal computer as an evolving concept. The smartphone is the one you keep on you at all times, then we’ll wear them, then we’ll see through them, then we’ll think with them.
