It's really a stretch to call something that's literally the only option "popular". But I agree, rendering engine is not enough to move any real needle. New browsers need to be able to integrate features that ios doesn&#

Do you think this will happen to the airline industry? Happily willing to take the other side of that bet.

Hm, but we've had zero interest rates that entire time so shouldn't we have expected even higher returns? E.g. what would the 90s have looked like with zero rates?

There's currently two memetic beliefs going around over here (especially in middle to upper middle class + younger generations) that A) America is more racist than the rest of the world, and that B) America has gotten it wrong by not h

The worst stereotype of advice is "just be yourself" or some such nonsense. I'd hope these professionals are giving a bit better advice than that, unless you mean something different?

Yes and no. Yes, progress for the sake of progress isn't strictly an improvement. On the other hand conditions are ever changing and our knowledge of the world changes our understanding of those conditions. To me these things nearly al

We find ourselves living in a vetocracy, where very little groundbreaking work actually gets done. Critics rule the roost at this current cultural moment. So there's a lot of pent-up energy that will be rewarded to anyone able to artic

Yes, in the US you do. Makes you look bad just like it makes a company that does it look bad.

If we're getting technical you can at least run the android app on a de-googled android device, assuming it doesn't require play services.

Oh we definitely do -- the shitposting workplace group serves this purpose. Also the private nonmanagers group.

Do you really think that more talented people prefer working from home?

Wouldn't the appropriate analogy to BlockFi be to keeping your money in an interest bearing savings account rather than in VTSAX? Since VTSAX isn't a bank choosing to allocate capital in whatever way they choose

No familiarity -- just my observation of artists and authors being particularly inscrutable people.

Having run in anarchist circles when I was younger, it's strange to hear people talk of anarchism as a consistent set of ideas when the reason it holds such a special place in my heart is that there were so many different conceptions o

Politics makes strange bedfellows! We live in a strange enough timeline that it wouldn't surprise me if she was in support of "these people". It would certainly be a choice that would provoke and make people think hard about

I've found they're also far more likely to be absentee, and far more likely to discriminate on the basis of whoever happened to burn them in the past. They're also more volatile -- many are new to landlording and if it's

This gets part of the way there I think. A lot of EAs have issues with scrupulosity, "pathological guilt/anxiety about moral or religious issues"[1]. It's not so much that any of them have really done anything to feel ba

Who pays the hosting bills for the app? If whoever is responsible fails to pay the hosting bills, presumably the app will cease to function and perhaps even disappear? When I fork it, do I maintain my ability to communicate with users who l

The thing that has most worn me out of all the star wars, marvel, etc. franchises is their simple moral framework pitting good vs. evil. There is basically as little moral ambivalence as possible. I find myself inhabiting a world full of mo

On the whole, seems like a level headed take for once. One area not touched on here, and that outsiders don't have much insight into, is how is Elon planning on compensating the remaining engineers? He can't rely on chutzpah, lati

Sounds like what you're describing is that certain companies have become scapegoats. Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Tesla, and Microsoft all add a lot of value to people's lives both through the products they sell as well as the tax
