Gell-Mann Amnesia is a shockingly hard thing to fight against I’m afraid.

You’re adding a lot of dimensions to the act of buying something than I care about. I’m not trying to fight injustice when I buy most things, I’m just following the realistic legal requirements to use the thing.

I think that's nice! Now my ad-blocker and their ad-generator can have a loving relationship without me being involved. The circle is complete! Seriously though, every bit of ad-tech news I've heard for the last decade explains wh

Speaking as someone who despises writing freehand, and loves typing... what? I understand what you're trying to say, but you lost me very quickly I'm afraid. Whatever tool I use to write I'm still making every choice along th

Piracy is widespread, that's undeniable. The question that industry groups and lawmakers love to avoid or lie about however is how much of that piracy represents lost sales, and how much represents people in the third world finding a w

Surely in context, and reading the most charitable interpretation, you understood that the hardware I was referring to isn’t the end user’s device.

They don't automatically take a cut, they only take a cut when you want to sell to their captive audience, on their hardware, using their distribution system. Wait until you hear about how the entire entertainment industry has always w

I don't believe that the whole billionaire-led VC industry in California is going to relocate to Florida, in part because of the weather, in part because of the cost, and many other factors. As far as "everyone leaving" Calif

A tiny economy compared to Florida, a deeply right wing government and culture, it’s already fully built up with no room for newcomers, hurricanes and rising sea levels also make it an insane choice. Please be serious.

I'm sure they can find another sunny, coastal state with a friendly government, the infrastructure, the talent, their mansions, the lovely weather, and the sixth largest economy in the US. That should be trivial.

I do wish that just once our politicians (and the voters who are so easily spooked) thought through this issue a bit further than "Billionaires issue threat, we must surrender." There is a point at which taxation can be counterpro

Part of the issue is the search tech itself, but part of the issue is how the web has been warped by SEO. Search and what was being discovered weren’t always in such an adversarial relationship. For me though the closest I can get to the go

That's arguably what String Theory is good for, producing interesting, entertaining, and possibly even useful math. What it seems to fail at is making realistically testable predictions about nature that can't be matched or exceed

The bullshit nature of the article becomes clear as the author repeatedly begs the question as the sole means of making her actual argument. Edit: To be clear there’s a lot of argument from incredulity or “obviously something is wrong,” wit

I think it's more than "little motivation" if we're being honest. Right now Valve is quietly targeting MS' attempt to create a walled garden for gaming on Windows and (probably) cut them out. Their very clever appro

Our military spending is enormous, but it's dwarfed by what we spend on healthcare. The problem with our healthcare system isn't that we have a military, it's the gross and intentional profit-seeking behavior of insurers and

I think you're hitting the nail on the head, but the corollary is that there's so much MORE now. More of everything, and since most things are crap the gems are proportionally harder to find. I look at reality tv and wince, but

I think a lot of this comes down to "People with tons of money on the line say a lot of things," But in Ilya's case in particular I think he was being sincere. Wrong, but sincere, and that's kind of a problem inherent in

It seems like the real solution is de-UK'ing, a wise move for a number of reasons. Move to the continent, to Ireland, or the US (or Australia for that classic British expat experience), but leave the sinking ship. Ideally the time to l
