I’m kind of surprised that Logan Paul is still doing so well. Living embodiment of YouTube gone wrong, still made $3 million more than he did last year according to this article.

I'm curious to know more. I tried to look into it but all I could find were news articles and press releases saying that the first electric buses in the province were set to arrive in 2019 https://news.ontario.ca/mto&#

So, resident of Albuquerque here. Our city embarked on a plan to modernize our bus system by introducing a bus rapid transit (BRT) system down one of our busiest streets. This plan included ordering 15 buses from Build Your Dreams (BYD),

That's the thing, from the article it appears that absolutely nothing of value is created by these portfolio companies. Instead, ESW is buying companies who have done all the hard work a long time ago (using highly-paid creative emplo

His predictions don't sound that far off from something Ray Kurzweil would predict. They're both predicting a utopia and the beginning of a new form of intelligence. The difference is that Yuval Hariri is a little more explicit

From the comments I see a lot of people are confused by the headline. Apple still invents, but only for the sake of improving existing products, and not really in a way that makes you imagine what you can do, thus it's not the type of

I don't think this is necessarily a developer-specific issue. You show something off to the internet-at-large and they probably won't have nice things to say about it. This isn't necessarily because they're unimpressed

I'm curious to find out what it would take for someone to create a service that counters some of these dark patterns. The abundance of companies using dark patterns in their subscriptions to prevent subscription cancellations has led t

Same reason for preserving any other thing in nature. It's interesting enough that some might say that the heaviest known organism is a natural treasure, just like the tallest Redwood, or the oldest Joshua Tree, or Bald Eagles, or ent

Back when I was a teenager I used to do this sport called Cowboy Competition Shooting. Think normal competition shooting, but everyone's dressed as some character from a western movie or trying to realistically portray some figure fro

I actually had to do some Google research to confirm that Deepak Chopra did indeed talk at a WeWork event. Wow. I mean, I won't hold it against any individual to be into Deepak Chopra, I won't even hold it against a company of 10

I would argue that at the least it's a little absurd that we're resorting to corporate housing and "work-dorms" for lack of a better term when we could just simply shift more work to small and mid-size cities. Get your

In case anyone is wondering why on earth we're growing so much food in the middle of the desert, you can look to lack of disease as an answer. I mean, there's more to it than that. The warmer climate means the southwest has more

I actually thought the plantoids example was pretty cool. I’m pretty cautious about blockchain technology in general, but I think using it to keep a record of digital art and collectibles (including plants and pets) is a great idea. Look at

Eh, I'm really not feeling this. I mean, I just really loved that silly little cartoon gopher and his goofy little eyes. It had a personality. This is something that really irritates me about Google and their products, services, &quo

I would argue it's not so much the rewards, but rather the feeling of progression towards a reward. I used to have a terrible problem where I would just waste entire weekends playing a Civilization game, not because I was being reward

Not to mention that not all states were created equally. Some states have a pretty crazy history relative to the others. New Mexico's history is arguably the state with the craziest history. Weird fact: slavery didn't end here a

Oh cool. Well in that case I like the Dutch designer’s taste.

I'm genuinely curious, what's the methodology behind categorizing palettes by country? Just for fun? Or is there something more interesting here. I'm from the states, but I think I might like that Dutch palette more.

I had a bit of a knee jerk cringe reaction to that. I think I understand why after thinking about it. He’s mostly right. Mostly. Very few SaaS products are designed to be exciting products. They solve problems, maybe even major business

Well, sure, on a few of them. And then what? Could be quite a leap for single-celled organisms to evolve into something resembling a flying insect. Given how successful insects have been on our planet, why would life evolve into anything

Controversial opinion incoming, but I've found their writings less valuable over time and see them more as opinions with an elitist tone. This is coming from someone who owns a copy of Rework and might just go over it again for it&#x2

I use it as a RESTful API for a single page app. I use some extra packages beyond those that come standard, but they don't really have a huge day-to-day impact on the code that I write. Gorilla will probably make your life easier. I

This is a shame. I mean, yeah, it was a pretty awkward gaming accessory, but outside the context of gaming people were doing some pretty fun things with it. A powerful sensor at a ridiculously cheap cost that you could use to create amazi

Eh, a $500 billion investment in the city of the future doesn't seem that exciting considering that it's technically under the jurisdiction of a country that considers sex outside of marriage illegal and sodomy an act punishable b
