Is it more than just a blue light filter ?

I have that on my glasses for over a decade now. I will never go without it again. It has, along with astigmatism correction, drastically reduced the number of optic migraines I get.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

As an evil landlord it kind of freaks me out about how AI programs allow landlords to collude on rents. It seems very against the spirit of the market.

I'm surprised it isn't against the law.  My very first company was in the business of aggregating data for insurance companies and coming up with a recommended insurance rate, but there was a very explicit exception carved out in the anti-trust law for this to be legal.  Without that exception it would be an illegal price collusion.  It seems like the software that comes up with rents is doing exactly that, except in an industry that doesn't have that exception.

I hope Zoupa was taking notes.  This guy knows how to do French commentary on America.  :lol:

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

To celebrate our hero engineer, we're letting all Isambards visit Brunel's SS Great Britain for free from today onwards.



I am sure that they are both appropriately grateful.  :lol:
