Here is my idea and yes I know there is probably an entire field of research papers I haven't bothered to look up, but, pressure sensitive brake lights. If cars didn't have a simple on or off brake light, bit conveyed more information like tapping on brakes or slamming by having a triangle shape of rows of lights that light up based on how hard the brakes were being pushed. Anybody have any research onthis?

What, visually, sticks in your memory the most when you witnessed the explosion? I guess I mean beyond a big mushroom cloud and flash of light...Thanks for this BTW

I love these AMA's here on reddit. Nothing like witnessing an angry mob of Howard Beales peppering a mildly famous person with questions like they just got finished with a very unsatisfying threeway with Ned Beaty and the ghost of Edward R Murrow.

Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but it seems like nowadays we treat the internet like that dog your brother dropped off for a week 2 years ago while he's exchanging bahts for ping pong balls in a Bangkok whore house. Walt Whitman once said all the world's a stage, but I don't think he really would have grasped how fucked a stage it is. Where the audience is sitting in their parents' basement applauding on a keyboard that looks like Beethoven wrote his 9th symphony on it in between handfuls of cheetohs.

So is this where it comes to? Centuries of human progress to cyber mob mentality sharing browser tabs with an animated cartoon porn version of Rainbow bright rim jobbing He man? I think we could do a lot better, of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

It seems it is a trend in tech companies to create an all inclusive environment geared towards young engineers. Free breakfast, lunch, and dinners. Laundry service. Ground transportation to and from work. Pool tables and lounge rooms.

While this appeals to a younger person without as many family obligations and who doesn't mind living 3/4 of their day at a campus, what kind of perks do you make to middle age tech people? Someone who has children and a spouse who isn't attracted to eating dinner and playing some ping pong at campus at 8pm on a Tuesday?

Wow. Thanks. That's pretty decent actually. Is work from home allowed? That's a parent life saver IMO.
