The response wasn't: "I was planing to support WARC, but felt that it was far too complicated to put off the launch of this MVP. If it's an essential feature to make this product valuable then I will definitely make it a pri

Ah well, Mike doesn't do Byzantium, he started Revolutions instead... Robin Pierson was a podcaster who liked THoR so much that he decided to pickup where Mike left off. I'm 60ish episodes in and it's pretty good, but not qui

Oh man, I'm excited for you, I cried when I got to the end of THoR... you gonna continue with The History of Byzantium or Revolutions Podcast? I find Robin Pierson to be pretty good (THoB), but I find I can't stop listening to Dun

Ha, I specifically remember this as one of my favorite episodes from the History of Rome Podcast[0] by Michael Duncan (#98 in linked list[1]). Of some relevance is his new book that just came out, The Storm Before the Storm[2], which detail

Terrestrial life can't possibly continue without us is the only logical conclusion I can come to, knowing what we know. A super-volcano won't end life on Earth, but unless some other life-form evolves which can carry life to anoth

No, I am not, by any chance, religious. I don't rule out the possibility of a God or God-like intelligence existing in the Universe, but that's simply as a result of the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
