Heya - just a note that I build these kinds of PaaS platforms for a living - if you need a hand building a super-massive cluster for lots of users, let me know!

I do enjoy this perspective from someone who says "I have no access to production data". Typically that is used as an excuse to not practice any security whatsoever, rather than as a side-note on a security heads-up! I go back and

Fair enough - I was generalizing heavily. I'd not heard of Robert Noyce before, but I'm glad to have some weekend reading! In response to your comparison then, I suppose I would say we're as close (or closer) to the hippies o

Hah that's so well said. I had typed a response about why that piece of art didn't really do much for me, but it was like 3 paragraphs long - this is a perfect way to put it!

The men and women of the Apollo program were much more distant from SF than Unix and Berkeley and LSD. I fully understanding desiring to be a closer decedent of Richard Feynman than Timothy Leary, but that's just a desire, not a truth.

Pollock is wonderful, particularly in person. But more than I enjoy the art (Silver Over Black, White, Yellow, and Red in person is enough to bring me to tears), I really enjoy listening to people's anger ranting why its not really art

I can't think of less meaningful information than why someone believes why someone else believes something is beautiful. How could you possibly know that?

Sort of hard to imagine a more ham-fisted owner for something as cool as TikTok. If IBM or GE bought them it wouldn’t make less sense.

Hey thanks! I’m the cofounder/CTO of KubeSail and this is more or less our purpose for existing! Our goal is to help people learn - open source tools and not black boxes - from just learning javascript to bootstrapping a company :) Tha

I'm not sure I can say I'm disgusted by assuming hourly workers are intelligent. Why is it that investing is gambling only for the poor? Is the implication the poor people are less informed and less intelligent? > do you reall

I looked into this recently in order to gather enough facts to educate an aunt who wasn't a 5g conspiracy person, they just asked "how do you know that it's safe?", which is always a fair question. I wrote a post here:

There is some irony here though, no? For example, if Apple is the only market-place in the country, and rules keep it open and free and available, then there is no need for a 2nd market-place: we've forced Apples to be how we want. If

“Smart” isn’t a useful concept, or identity. I strongly recommend doing away with mentally picturing people as various gradients of smart. What matters in life is effort. Of course not enjoying chess has no relation to intelligence. If you

It sets a precedent for sure - but I can’t help but doubt when someone says “if anyone else is in charge - it will be disaster!” Are conservationists only involved at the federal level? My own experience in CA is at least the opposite...

This is a fairly infantile argument, which essentially boils down to: If your defense isn't perfect, it's silly. Wearing a mask isn't to do with perfectly isolating your biological self from society. It's to do with numb
