Tired of this excuse. If the audience is the product, Google still has an interest in selling a quality product. That means not running off more and more of the most tech savvy "product" segment.

My cs classes in college gave quizzes via webpage or email, but the actual exams were on paper, hand writing actual code. Multiple pages of it. It actually helped make things stick better, after initially adjusting to it. Afterwards, I woul

Got a job offer one from one of those companies. The SEC public disclosures are hilariously blunt on how just one of a handful autonomous rulers could have a spontaneous change of heart that would effectively tank the company.

I also doubt that the FAA investigation would have much to do with the major narrative of the article. From their perspective, the flight went off course for 2 mins, and they're looking for the proximate cause. They're looking for

Absolutely not. The author has an interest in making him a victim of Virgin Galactic, because if he's not, that makes him largely a victim of the author's published writings. Separately, I'm saying that there's no univer

I'm not so sure- look at how important social connections, status symbols, and power become in places that are already universally wealthy. Value starts to be put in things that by definition require scarcity: exclusive neighborhoods,

It doesn't matter if scarcity is "real" or not, because human's always create it where it doesn't already exist. Which is why any post-scarcity argument will eventually boil down to either "You don't reall

The other fundamental flaw is that post-scarcity is impossible, in that scarcity itself is paradoxically in huge demand. And human nature will create scarcity out of thin air where none naturally exists. NFTs, original art, first editions,

Engineering is about economically designing things that fail in a predictable manor. Too many people think it's about "strongest" or "best" or "creative" or "durable" designs. Nope. Sometimes tha

Winter is the wetter season. Which most people don't realize, because it also rains so much in the summer. But it's so hot in the summer, that evaporation out paces the rain. The driest months are Sept-Oct, which is peak hurricane
