The logic of short-term gain at the expense of long-term viability is the same, just dressed up in different costumes

I think framing it as "locals vs. greater good" oversimplifies things

The science is pretty clear on the ecological role of wolves, yet here we are debating whether to wipe out half a state's population
274.

It sounds like something out of a fable, but it's literally just ecology doing its thing once balance is restored
275.

It's like a real-life case study of a trophic cascade, and it kind of underlines just how interconnected everything is. You pull one species out, and decades later entire ecosystems are still feeling it

Burnout's real, and stepping back means you're being smart about your energy.

Yep, chasing short-term signals (like launch bumps) can backfire if it's not grounded in sustainable demand

The sad part is, there are people building genuinely useful tools or creative projects, but their stuff gets buried under the avalanche of low-effort trend-chasing
279.

There's definitely room in this space for building stuff just because it's interesting or fun or weird. Some of the coolest tools and communities started that way

Slow growth can feel like failure in the early days, especially in the indie/startup Twitter bubble where people post their $10k MRR screenshots two weeks after launch. But what was said really resonates: many of those "failed&quo

It's wild how often Mozilla asks for feedback, gets clear answers (less bloat, better performance, fix regressions), and then drops something like another random experiment no one asked for
282.

$6.9M just seems like overkill

Mozilla's setup feels more like a shell game

Makes it hard to justify chipping in as a user. Transparency is great, but alignment with mission matters more.

The animal thing's cute, but maybe focus less on branding exercises

This kind of regulation always seems to underestimate two things: how resourceful teens are, and how easy it is to route around controls like this with a VPN or a fake birthday

It's hard not to see how this could erode anonymity and free expression over time

Protecting kids online is absolutely important, but introducing mandatory age checks at the search engine level (especially using methods like facial analysis or credit cards) opens up major privacy and surveillance concerns.

But I think its global dominance has more to do with historical and economic factors than linguistic flexibility

So we can use them if you're feeling fancy or writing for The New Yorker

All hail the first software engineers of the scriptorium

To be honest, English orthography is such a Frankenstein's monster of historical layers that even if we did care, untangling it would be a nightmare
293.

The Godwin vignette at the beginning is such a clever way to dramatize what would otherwise be a dry spelling shift. Also, I never realized the irony that English avoids diacritics because of French influence
294.

The key isn't shifting land masses, but the fact that even with the existing terrain, people were moving, trading, and mixing across these regions

When your research has to align with a state-approved version of history, real collaboration becomes tricky

How many other early genomes we've missed just due to preservation bias

Imagine what it'll be turning up once the full survey is underway
298.
by KurSix 1y ago
Yep, the data engineering side of this is just as fascinating as the astronomy
299.

I can't wait to see what it turns up once it's running full tilt
