If you didn't make the jump to the footnotes, I thought this was great: "One of the Y Combinator questions asked you to name one non-computer system that you’d hacked in some interesting way. My answer concerned a man-in-the-middle attack I

I did some brainstorming on this idea a couple months ago: http://mohrslaws.blogspot.com/2010/02/reality-as-genre.html The subsequent discussions led me towards imagining a game that was a sort of cartography sim. You explore the real wo

From the official reddit blog: "So I guess the lesson is, there's no reason for redditors to waste comment space picking on Digg. They do their thing, we do ours, Google News and the New York Times do theirs."[1] Wanted to call bs on this
