The failure to mention GNU Social, which Mastodon is almost completely based upon and which birthed the Fediverse, is just weird.

This skips the real old money - the sort of folks who got the De Young rebuilt. They still have an outsize effect on SF politics.

A couple people recommended Red Plenty on one of these threads, and I took the recommendation and agree, it's great. Earnest Soviet economists try to solve the Russian economy with mathematical models running on computers. The story is

For the oenophiles I know, it's totally about exploring interesting flavors, and also appreciating the context in which the different wines are made (like with art). As for transience, you can stretch out a bottle of spirits over month

It's a pretty fast read overall. But for me it fell into the category of "standard thriller fluff"

Pretty much accurate. I think it's noteworthy that HN consciously discourages mops, by remaining text-only, slowing down hot-button discussions, downvoting injokes and the like. As compared to (specifically) Reddit. I'm very inter

I worked for someone who had most of those traits. However, he wasn't Steve Jobs. When I last looked at his LinkedIn, he had a long string of positions which had lasted 12-18 months until (I presume) reality caught up with him at each.

When the first Motorola Droid came out, I found a "tricorder" app with a lot of the sensor data output with a LCARSish UI. It may have since been lawyered out of existence.

The burglary was in 1971, and the MLK letter didn't get published until much later. These days the documents would get uploaded to Mega or sent to Wikileaks, and dozens of people would pore over them.

>I’ll always love people debating “Is it in your genes or is it your environment?” I’m like no! The whole beauty of it is that it’s both. It would be fun hearing a debate between Anne and Susan about this.

A lot of the reason skeuomorphic design went away was that Apple had a release which used more skeuomorphism and was also ugly . The OP link is more tasteful. Let's just bring back taste, rather than carrying banners for one abstract

I have to tell you, I've been in Silicon Valley for 23 years and I've never seen anything used at work besides caffeine and maybe a (company-sponsored) beer on Friday afternoon. Outside of work, I know tech employees who used pot,
