So, who are you going to go drinking with at the park? And in reverse, you’re visiting the park and see someone there drinking. What’s your impression?

Not only can I imagine it, I’m watching it live from the pearl clutching surrounding generative “AI.” The guard rails put in to appease Interests severely limit what’s already technically possible, and that’s still not enough for the monied

Oh yes, “think of the authors.” That’s propaganda, an idyllic myth. Literary output and quality have never been solely contingent on authors making a living from their work. The necessity of authors making their livelihood writing is the id

Libraries are not piracy. You’re correct about the need to change laws, but the change goes beyond the Open Library and is more fundamental to citizen rights in the context of digital ownership. This is just as pivotal to Right-to-Repair as

I’m curious. What do you think about legalizing “hack-back” ?

That’s the story anyway. They’ll be paid either as Cost Plus or on a Firm Fixed Price. Neither of which incentivize the supplier to give the USG a better deal.

The issue is Memes alone aren’t very substantive. And the snark snapback doesn’t set a healthy tone. Guidelines for everyone… “Omit internet tropes.” “Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-n

Is SEBI not the key regulator in this area? To say it plainly, SEBI has been exposed for their selective enforcement on high-profile entities. If Jane Street’s in trouble with SEBI then it’s only because they failed to secure the same privi

Slander? Now there’s a strong word. Examples of the 2023-2025 activities of the Indian securities regulator SEBI seem pretty relevant to current news involving SEBI here in 2025. Which is the topic of discussion. Whatever US regulators were

Maybe, but given the reputation of Indian regulators I’m skeptical Jane Street’s only sin was the alleged market manipulation. People may recall the matter involving Adani Group. https://hindenburgresearch.com/adani-update-s

There’s a long standing theological distinction between murder and killing in the Bible. One I’m learning Quakers possibly disagree with.

Agreed, even when brainstorming there needs to be left and right bounds. It needs to be constructive and it needs to align to the vision.

People can be so go-go-go they don’t have time to think and reflect. Music is similar, it’s a source of constant distraction for the mind. It’s even more prominent in contemporary music. When listening to pieces more than a thousand years o

I’d say I intentionally listen to music maybe an hour total per month, usually while my eyes are occupied. Meanwhile, outside of museums most landscape art is also advertising. But I’ll spend two or three hours at an art museum when I get t

Google mismanages an enormous number of things. Users, Customers, Products, Teams, Talent. You can observe this in your interactions with Google/Alphabet and in ex-googler post-mortems. They are amazingly valuable as a stock, as a busi
