Having listened now, I see what you wanted was to have David Cross read it in (almost any) one of his characters.

We can probably arrange a Cameo to achieve this!


When you realize the fungus' primary intent was to convince the fly to land in amber ...

…and wait for us at this moment…

I don't know what I expected to see, but the site was full of ... Curved-Crease Sculptures ...

Beautiful just the same!


How did your site know my first/last name when I gave my email address to create an account and clicked the confirmation link you sent?


We use Clearbit for enrichment: https://clearbit.com/ That said, all interviews on interviewing.io are anonymous unless you and your interviewer both explicitly opt in to unmask.


OP: A single giveaway just popped up on SteamGifts today:

Is this you?


Nope.


Ethically sourced "spare" human bodies could revolutionize the market for unethically sourced "spare" human bodies ...


Have the feeling that cheaper unethically sourced bodies would be the majority of the market, if ever usage of "spare" bodies were to happen.


Many states in the US switched from opt-in to opt-out for organ donation. Usually we get upset about such tactics, but this change seems to have been widely supported even though it is a form of coercion and has informed consent issues.


Quite a tangent, but what if we apply this logic of informed consent to property? If a person without a will dies, should we leave their house abandoned until it decomposes? Automatic organ donation is like probate for bodies.


Indeed this is one of the big considerations of adoption or organ donation. Both revolutionized their respective markets: trafficking and involuntary organ trade. To say nothing of abortion and gay marriage - two much desired things in the US which nonetheless revolutionized the market for unethical embryo termination and involuntary marriage.


How did gay marriage revolutionise the market for involuntary marriage?


Kinda like prostitution where it has been legalized, in which the availability of ethically sourced human bodies (i.e., from licensed brothels) drives up the demand for unethically sourced bodies (sex trafficking).


Source for this claim?


Like Jevons' paradox?


They already did this in conflict zones.

It's funny how people strech the definition of things. But hey, if it worked for HD it shall work for everything.


My god that post is a hot mess - I regret reading it


Roboto Mono for me - Off to see if its on NerdFonts ...

Can I (yet) just press tab and have it inspect my PATH variable for completable items?

That is literally the only reason I gave up on it.


Love this!

Also for those interested in auto-moving chess boards, see the Go Chess project:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gochess-most-powerful-che...

It takes a different approach: 1-4 "robots" under the board moving pieces around - with the goal of being able to reset the board or setup a position super-quick!
