Different person here, but I've been using various Supergoop products for years and think they're all excellent. Their "Unseen Sunscreen" dries completely matte but is kind of pricey per ounce. I mostly use it on my face. "Play" is cheaper (especially if you get the 18oz pump bottle) and still a lot less greasy than most drug store sunscreens. I use it every day.

Anywhere that far north seems to be skewed by lack of data from Canada. For example, I clicked NE of Seattle (on Bothell specifically) and got a 1200 mi ray that passes right through Winnipeg (pop. 700,000).

Orchid's off-putting launch video: https://x.com/orchid_hq/status/2082149144710336976

It's strange to me to position your product as enabling its users to care less about people and be more alienated from their loved ones.

OP acknowledges this was "made to get attention": https://x.com/Lucknite/status/2082551101308735864

I'm having a hard time finding any place that produces a ray longer than about 900 miles. I found a spot in NW South Dakota whose shortest rays are nearly 300 miles.

Some of the "slides" have more content than fits vertically in the viewport, and trying to scroll to the bottom to see it without getting bounced to the next slide or back to the top is very touchy and tedious.

Talking to your computer can only ever work for people in atomized work-from-home silos, surely. I can't really imagine living in a world where everybody is just muttering commands to the computer all the time.

You can value not pumping out disposable garbage even if the (current) economic regime appears to encourage and reward it.

They actually don't need to sanction Anthropic as a "supply risk" in order to not contract with them, and doing so is obviously an insane overreach.

The military can work with someone else's product or use a bit of their trillion-dollar budget to come up with their own.

This is pure sophistry. Your complaints about the movie's tone and dialogue are strictly and specifically problems of your own taste, not filmmaking quality. The movie is (objectively!) well made with respect to "craft, skill, storytelling structure and emotional impact".

A movie which doesn't satisfy your specific tastes and expectations in science fiction hasn't "failed".

I don't think this drivel helps explains anything that's not stated in very plain English in DHH's blog.
