I just did that. Thanks for the hint. I'll see how it goes vs the other way. I don't mind Twitter selecting Tweet order from the people I follow, I want to see the most interesting content after all, I just want to be the one in c

I fixed my twitter feed by unfollowing anyone the first time something they did resulted in me being upset. Even if it was a like. It's just not worth it. For about a year or two my feed was great. Then the topics started coming in.

I'm like her in that I have eye issues and thus can't use screens that are too large (16" absolute maximum) and even there it needs to be with large font. I wish everyone had stayed with 80 chars so I could have two vertical

Well, sorta. It's really, really mentally annoying switching between projects where standards are different. For example 80 char limit to 120 char limit takes me at least a month to fully get used to. I agree black is better than the a

You're being downvoted, but you're not wrong about the strategic risk. I worked on that for a while and at least got people to take it seriously. When I started there weren't even regulations coming for self-driving cars. At

I think the moment where she was capable of voicing what it was that she was doing was the moment where she should have known better. I'm still not sure if she just had a values difference from me or not, but with time to think about i

This is a great comment. And of course you're aware that I largely agree with it. So with that proviso, all I will say in response is that I think it would be helpful to consider the opposing view point: If the goal is to elicit an emo

I once discussed one of these eye rolling things with a real life friend of mine over the internet and I finally discovered what "abolish the police" really meant to him. He was knowingly being intellectually dishonest in order to

Eh. It's been pretty easy to fingerprint browsers for a while now, including those types of CSS hacks. The real feat is doing so without looking like you're doing it and for it to be durable (survive OS upgrades, reboots, etc).

Your market value isn't a single number. I've more than doubled my total compensation before merely by happening to get into the right crowd. If you're hitting a compensation ceiling but you're sure your tech chops are u

Well, I think it's a combination of things. First, you kinda have to be an optimist to create something like Etherium in the first place. I met the founders out in Toronto before the coin was even off the ground and while there were so

I used to think the good parts of crypto could be salvaged. I now don't. The people joining at this point are either naive or corrupt. I don't think people like Vitalik would join today because the entire scene has changed. There

Rails does, but Ruby is so close to Python and Python has the numerical crowd so you're eventually going to need it anyway if you're successful. I know it sucks, because Rails is better than Django, but at the end of the day I lov

But isn't this over HTTPS? I know the DNS lookup may leak the domain, but that's heavily cached. I think its just network analysis or possibly even those caching servers that are run by ISPs which hold onto content network's

I don't use Apple TV much, but one of the things I like about it is how it lets me download the video file locally. The quality is so, so crisp. I pay for the more expensive version of Netflix, but it's not quite the same start to

I've literally been experimented on and it was meaningful. The problem, in my view is low sample sizes, poor selection[0], hyper dimensional confounding data, and low rates of application. With math, comp sci, or physics reality hits y

It's not zero sum if you're on the winning team. That's the collective action. Beat up the nerd, steal his lunch money.

Right, but it is righteous and still widely profitable. It's more work, but it's lasting, honest value. This is why it is so depressing.

The payoff to kickstarting a city is absolutely bonkers. It's long term, but the compounding implied interest rate is still enormous. I don't think it is anywhere close to ending world hunger.

What I'm trying to point to here is that in the developed world the vast, vast majority of the value of a dwelling is how many dwellings exist around it. That's because land value is an arms race. So many people want to live in, s
