Thanks. I'd been wondering how that worked.

Millennials also have a 5 to 6 second attention span when remembering to included the article source in their Slashdot submissions, too.

P.S. "Reader schwit1 writes..." ... is obviously the new way of expressing "copy and paste".

Read: "No one can compete with us on our home turf."

I'd recommenced anything by Adam Curtis.

I'd start with "The Century of the Self". A real eye-opener; quite scary in some ways. (Online http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Then watch "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace". (Online: http://www.youtube.com/playlis... )

Then "HyperNormalisation". (Online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... )

Then, be angry with yourself and the modern world.

(Other people above have already mentioned James Burke many times, which is also my recommendation. Why Sid Meier hasn't had James rewrite and narrate all the tech tree/advances in a Civilization game yet, I don't know...)

Actually, it's not Google Maps that that's the most creepy when it comes to location tracking: it's Google Fit.

After using the Google Takeout service the other day I noticed Fit does a LOT more fine-tuned location tracking than Maps, and I don't think there's an easy option to delete all of Fit's location data. Deleting all of Maps's location history does not affect Fit's location history.

Yeah, I guess that's the whole point of fitness tracking, but it's still creepy.

Seoul: $143 week rent + 40 minutes commute??

Obviously that's living somewhere out in Suwon in a one-room closet. Makes sense.

Oh, a "rule" ??

Well, okay. Sure. That'll work.

/insert Gene Wilder/Wonka meme here

Mathematician presents some "Math(s) is bwetiful auwsome" nonsense at a math(s) conference and gets a standing ovation from other mathematicians.

I'm stunned, I tell you!

Me, too!
