   I think most people would agree that a photographer can, let's say, photograph houses on a residential street. Setting up a long time-lapse on the sidewalk might attract a few questions and some conversation, but I'd guess most pe

   Suddenly lamenting the emptiness left by the lack of configurability for those name generators, a la i18n. "Pop-culturation, or p13n, helps teams reduce the randomness of their random names by seeding the noun/adjective list with

   I suppose it's a reasonable tradeoff to people who can't quantify risk and treat everything as uncertain, have too much money, too few problems, oh! - and whose neighbor just got one. The same busy-bodies posting long Facebook scr

    Re: Novel Social Primitives - I've been reading up on econ because of crypto, and came across E Ostrom's writing about Polycentricity, which seems extremely valuable to the Centralized vs. Decentralized conversation (hint: it&#x27

    I'd say "only people who live in their parents basements and haven't put in The Work are able to make comments like this", but then I'd look like the big dumb-dumb. Complaining without action is equivalent to ignori

    I've been playing with Logseq for something similar - using the Zotero integration to share research notes (and sometimes blog). The attributes and queries are super clever, too. I'm not sure it'll ever replace Facebook/

    I'd readily give up the spam-free and misinformation-free networks of Facebook and Twitter for a moderator who knows what satire is, doesn't get nudes and dunes confused, and can generally parse context. Private communities tend t
