The YT ban here was certainly indiscriminate, but the presence of special immunity tokens to certain creators makes the bans by nature not indiscriminate. And while he may not have been targeted because of his "anti-Google" cont

Here's one I haven't seen on a list: When you onboard to a new company, they will automatically give you access to whatever systems you need to do your job. or It will be automatic or easy to get access to all the systems you need

The crazy thing is how unintuitive the law is here. If we were calling customer support and asked "can you tell the card number of [John Doe/customer 314/etc]" without ever claiming to be that person, wouldn't we pu

And I think we should move to ultra-local time zones for IRL conversations, local retail, etc. that get auto-translated to the universal time. I want Noon to be the time when the sun is highest in the sky on that day.

There was a lot of trope in those movies, but I think we'll look back at today's bad movies as 99% trope. It's just we don't see the tropes so clearly right now without a little distance.

Anyone else ever wanted multiple cursors and multiple mice on one computer? Sometimes I'd rather move my hand to a different mouse than drag the cursor across all that screen real estate. Also the different pointers would stay put when

Use the remote control technology in the latest MacOS. It will allow the keyboard and mouse from the Studio to control the laptop. Even more environmentally friendly than having an extra cable.

And if you don't get it exactly right, the mouse ball pops out, expands to a massive size and tries to flatten you.

I think it's more so the result of cheap money than some way of thinking. Higher interest rates will curtail a lot of this activity. Might even see a wave of divestitures or spinoffs as companies have to look harder for sources of capi

Tesla's (and increasingly all cars) are software with attached motors and they don't need to seize them physically to take them. Or disable supercharging, etc. Just like your fridge may not dispense water if you buy the wrong filt

The anti-advertising stance taken to reasonable conclusion is indeed absurd. You couldn't even mention your sofa to a friend without risk of "inciting" unnatural demand in them for a sofa. And you couldn't even allow thi

The really weird thing is that the media keeps saying Rogan's "controversial", but almost no one cares. It doesn't show up in polling -- your average person has about 15 things of a higher priority right now. Almost feel
