   If we had an actual Department of Defense, we wouldn't need Homeland Security. What we have is a relabeled War Department but that would have sounded silly after a war. To wit, winning is all about framing the argument in the right way

   Would you use a service that required you to use a separate application to record and then visit a website to select and upload that recording? That seems like a lot of work to publish, especially for what's intended to be casual &#x2F

    Pay at Intel is about half of FAANG, can confirm. They seem weirdly proud of this and then weirdly confused and disappointed when great people leave.

    Thank you, elantis. I'm glad you enjoyed it. In terms of LATAM, I think the party's just getting started. Literally earlier _this month_ we saw the formation of the first ever Mexican unicorn as Kavak was valued at over 1$bn. I fe

    Thank you! I'm so glad for what you've built at BioCurious. Awesome work. The Dojo is kind of an anarchist startup incubator / hackerspace / community learning space. Our metrics tend to be more about the number of peopl

    And the same comment was made about Facebook practically a decade ago, pointing to MySpace and Friendster. Yet DAU, MAU, and engagement continue to grow. Some of this, perhaps, is due to Facebook's keen awareness of its own mortality a
