Buress swam with dolphins in RYOT’s The Dolphin Project, partook in some breakdancing during rapper Common’s performance on Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle, and soared through the creation of the universe in “The Beginning.” But, it is the VR porn provided by Naughty America that elicits Buress’ most insightful analysis.

Buress’ first Netflix one-hour comedy special, Comedy Camisado is out now. He will also appear in Comedy Central’s Broad City‘s third season debuting February 17, as well as Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show later this year.

On the surface, that sounds like good news for budget-conscious buyers. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll find a compromise hiding in plain sight.

A new supercomputer has dethroned the U.S — here’s why it matters
Crowd, Person, Architecture

The race to build the world’s fastest supercomputer has been dominated by the United States. Now, China has stormed back into the lead. A newly ranked system called LineShine has claimed the No. 1 position on the latest Top500 list, a closely watched ranking of the planet’s most powerful supercomputers.
