The 20th century was an interesting time for art. Art for the sake of art became the norm. Historically art has always been paid for by 1) the church 2) the state or 3) the rich. Many subjects in museums are religious, propaganda, or vanity

It got famous after it was stolen and “returned.” I know a few art nerds who are convinced the one we know is a fake and the original is lost/destroyed.

I don't see what DAOs solve other than a fresh start. Most of the complaints are not really against traditional government, just the bureaucratic cruft that builds up over time. Whose to say smart contracts won't accumulate the sa

Friend of a friend story: one of the POs left days after launch, because they knew it would never replace consoles/desktops. It's really struggled to find footing since. Personal theory: Stadia is a precursor to Rendering as a Ser

I wonder how much of the current anxiety wave that seems to have stricken Millennials and Gen Z is because they have no idea how to be alone with their thoughts. Anecdotally, I have heard a great many jokes about needing a distraction due t

A good indicator of a good middle manager is if they realize this or not. Middle managers that are always walking on eggshells are the worst, and they just pass all that anxiety downward. Good ones can take those tactics in stride and shiel

References now should pretty much be limited to: they worked here? Yes/No. There are all sorts of liability reasons why recruiters don't want to know more, and people don't want to say more.

It's a violet, not a purple technically. Purples tend to be bolder, and have a closer 1:1 Red to Blue mix; while Violets are more Blue, and often softer. You may also be a bit colorblind. Not everyone sees color the same, even among th

You can be adopted as an adult. My partner's Grandma was adopted by her longtime step-father in her 50s in the USA. Japan uses adult adoption to pass family owned businesses to nonbiological successors. Of course the exact rules vary b

Solo creators on YT haven't been profitable in almost a decade. There was a brief period around 2010 where you could make money alone just from AdSense. But this quickly ended once it became a viable business venture, and production co

Any high rise I have worked in seems to have a rotation of elevator engineers always fixing various shafts. In not so frequently used buildings, the elevators seem to be the first thing to degrade. I am no elevator engineer, but I assume th

The second hand narrative I’ve heard is that she was emotionally abused as a child and went away to boarding school. She used the dumb blonde persona to escape criticism both from the public and her own family as she maneuvered into the lif

Is this shamelessness or fake honesty? Both Trump and Paris constructed public personas that appeared honest, but actually had hidden motives. Paris is probably a moderately intelligent person, that learned from an early age it was easier t

While I agree, long form content is almost exclusively better, it can be daunting. Medium was great as a quick scroll/dopamine hit, and long form goes against that. Also many long form articles are only made long via meandering threads

Play for small children is more than just amusement, it's literally them practicing being people. That is why play is often centered on being someone/something else. Child psychology, and its study of play, is really interesting.
