Likely not too surprising, given that most people were illiterate. Probably they also helped with letter writing/reading?

1.6 billion, and they don't even get the full company :(

It kinda sounds like Unity is overpaying for Weta, once all these different parts of the businesses are carved out of the sale.

Yeah, I'm a VR nerd but I now find that wearing a VR helment for too long creates a kind of existential loneliness that will be hard to solve with better technology.

I am someone who uses Clojure a lot and understands transducers, but I would pretty much never consider transducers "idiomatic code". In my opinion they are a straight-up an optimization and using them definitely reduces code read

Tens of thousands I think is possible- The problem is we don't know the identities of those 9,999 people. If we did, I agree the opinions of those people should be given a ton of weight.

The last two years make me think the government is quite capable of "doing nothing to stop" bad things from happening. It is no longer ridiculous- I mean, they're working on trillions of dollars of economic stimulus as we spe

I agree that tech CEOs say a fair amount of dumb shit (because they tend to be brainstorming, free associative thinking types) but if you think any guy off the street could have been Jack Dorsey, if the dice had just rolled differently, the

He created two multi billion dollar companies just by "being lucky"? I'm skeptical.

It's weird to me that thousands of people work at the docks or with the trucks, and likely understand these problems quite well, but only after a silicon valley guy rented a boat to take a look and tweeted about it did it come to atten

It is a walled garden since its inception. There is no package manager for building an open package ecosystem, as exists on other OSes.

Putting together all the messaging I've gotten recently: Regular sunscreen is bad, zinc oxide sunscreen is bad, getting sun is bad, not getting sun is bad (Vitamin D).

Twitter isn't very functional for celebrities in the crypto space, due to the incessant spam. I bet he just got sick of it.

Being a developer, and following Nick Szabo over the years, I just don't think he's enough of a coder mindset to have created Bitcoin. Maybe he could have made it by teaming up with someone else (Not disparaging Nick Szabo, he&#x2

There is nothing more straightforward and less convoluted than some dude creating a sock puppet account to interact with in order to help launch a product.

The same thing that happens to a human that is at risk of misclassifying a fire truck for a bridge: Once the odds of this happening are low enough (say 0.00001%) they can pass a driver's test and we give them a drivers license.

It's odd to take an anecdote about what a person did thousands of years ago (assuming Archimedes actually existed, I suppose we have decent evidence) and use that as the gold standard for how the human mind functions.

The violence is OK because Squid Games is awesome. The social critique is merely a bonus.

The best college application is still from Clyde Tombaugh, who was able to put in "discovered Pluto" when he applied.

Lovely post, though it's weird to end in saying that this "gave me a brief taste of functional programming" Turtle drawing is arguably the most non-functional, stateful programming paradigm ever invented.

The canonical app could have filtering built in, then if either you or the other person on the end is using the canonical version, the messages would get filtered. It's very likely everyone would be using an alternate release of the cl

Cryptocurrency miners are handing TSMCs boatloads of money that they are using to grow their R&D efforts. Cryptocurrency, in the long term, will be amazing for the advancement of GPU technology. (though we should still move crypto away

Maybe it would be better if people just choose not to buy iOS devices if they are so terrible- why does the government have to get involved?

I would add to this: 1. Their package/plugin system sucks (last I tried it anyway). It basically just seems to download a bunch of junk files for every plugin without any intelligence, and if the package updates you have a big mess on

There is currently absolutely no requirement in the US to report crypto holdings, only crypto sales. So it is very likely there are such people, especially since it is common to divide large holdings between many separate addresses, making
