If the web page linked in another comment is authentic, the attacker was in a very bad mental state. I don’t think we can completely rule out previous contact, and the attacker was unhappy with his team members, but random chance also seems

That negative public response came from all sides of the political spectrum, of course. If this hypothesis is accurate, it seems as if the problem might have been that the publisher uncritically accepted the hostile framing of "woke.&q

This is an important piece and I’m glad Haidt put it together. I do wonder if there’s room in this analysis for specific social media analysis. It seems like it would be very hard to separate out effects of Facebook vs. effects of Twitter a

I love that late 1930s idea. It feels like something that someone could make incremental progress on, too -- mock out the economic sim aspects in a text interface, and chew off the graphics when you're ready to tackle that.

My wife and I always joke about Allen running out of basement space and opening MOPOP.

Thank you for sharing what you know. Business Insider says brain research was one of them. I imagine if I was a competent financial reporter I could dig into where the money’s going and maybe learn something but I don’t have those skills.

Yep. I don’t think the LCM, Cinerama, or his military museum were his favorite causes. I think they were his favorite toys. He apparently had other causes which he cared more about for the future.

The contents of the will aren’t public but there’s been uncontested reporting that it calls for everything he owned to be liquidated. “Paul directed that the trust be liquidated upon his death and the assets used to fund his passion project

All of those are significant losses, too. I don’t care as much about the military museum and there’s an ongoing argument about the ethics of flying some of those old planes (wear and tear is bad), as Allen did, but the collection still matt

It’s a co-publication deal —- the Verge picks up all public Platformer articles. Not a big deal either way, tho.

As with most wealthy charity tax donations, this went to a foundation he controls. At the end of 2021, the Musk Foundation held $9.4 billion in assets. It donated about $160 million to nonprofits last year. Info from Bloomberg: https:&#x2F

His ad hoc speeches during the Abu Ghraib reporting were also not fact checked, and he said some things which he later admitted were exaggerations. Some reporters need the discipline of fact checking; Hersh has always been very good when he

That seems like a risky rubric. Are we to conclude that anything the Pentagon denies is true?

As trynewideas says, “Wi” was the name of the player who famously described this problem. Source: I worked for Turbine at the time.

Can confirm. This is also true in the denser areas outside the core. Ballard has a couple of large supermarkets with a lot of parking (although one of them is likely to get purchased and turned into a light rail station), but it also has se

The graph and the article are inconsistent. The graph shows "per kilowatt home charging costs vs petrol" but the article refers to "rapid charge points used by motorists topping up on long drives." This doesn't mean

Yep, sure do. When I got to my current job last year one of my early activities was brainstorming a set of team principles for my SRE team, and one of them is “We improve by taking risks, learning, and taking risks again.” The critical thin

Cool, thank you! Those are helpful tips. Like you I’m very introverted so I suspect I’d be fine with what you’ve described.

Lovely piece! Any thoughts on whether or not speaking Japanese would be a requirement? It would of course be the polite thing to do.

My best practice is to say “Hey, I’m going to be typing notes during this interview so that I don’t misrepresent you in the debrief. I’m not doing email on the side or anything!” To be relevant to this post: I love the promise of this produ

I generally think that mental illness is on par with physical illness, to the degree that you can differentiate them. If it’s worth our time to worry about one, it’s worth our time to worry about the other.

It’s the end of the Seven Years’ War, and also the end of the textbook he’s using. I suspect the exact year isn’t all that important, but once you get to the American Revolution you’ve slipped into a beginning rather than an end.

It’s not that they’re filtering. The API doesn’t give you access to the ads. Also if that was the case I’d expect Twitter to communicate about it.
