Clearly America is the place to be if you want to make billions in tech. The bigger question is why every single company needs to target billions of dollars. You can still build a very successful company in London and get quite wealthy, you

Sorry I didn't mean it was more viable for that purpose, I meant it's more essential. We already know how to make good electric cars and power them with green-ish energy. For cement and steel we have barely even started making the

If what bothers you about the web today is the centralized dominance of capitalist giants, web3 will be so much worse. The crypto community is maybe the most concentrated incarnation of pure capitalist energy ever. It’s all people inventing

A lot of the discussion here is around hydrogen fuel cells for cars and aviation. Which would be cool. But the real reason we need “green” hydrogen now is for making steel and cement: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environme

Because Bitcoin is still the center of the crypto universe. As the price of bitcoin goes up and down, so does the entire scene. Some people like it that way, others don't. But it's definitely the situation we're in.

Talking to friends is great and it’s normal for the medium we use to do that to evolve. Talking to strangers and to brands is pure poison. It’s the common thread between all of the problems on all of these platforms. Imagine social media wh

So could Twitter make two requests, one as TwitterBot and one anonymously, and then add a warning if they don't go to the same place?

This 100x. I am just getting into all of this hardware and it's so frustrating to need a computer in the mix just to get two pieces of otherwise wonderful single-purpose hardware to speak to each other.

That seems like a good trend to me. The app stores do incur serious hosting and review costs. Let’s pay for those. I’d much rather pay Apple/Google a fixed amount per download and per app update than pay them a lifetime cut of my subsc

I got into programming because I love computers and messing with them. I took a job as a professional Software Engineer because the job market was excellent and I could get paid for doing what I found fun. The money was good but I'd ha

At Google making 300k total comp means you're probably a high-performing L4 or a new L5 (senior). Your day can look like absolutely anything. I know people making 300k that are writing hundreds of lines of high-quality code in importan

Everyone at Google says this. It’s not true. Of course it contributes to the problem, but trust me a broken messaging strategy doesn’t naturally arise from Software Engineers trying to get incremental promotions. It comes from two parts of

Bitcoin is totally useless as a currency because it’s slow, has high transaction fees, and easy to trace. So it’s bad for both regular consumers and criminals alike. Monero is a solid improvement because it has low fees (so far) and is very

Tech companies should not be able to offer something for free and then later charge for it. It should be illegal and prosecuted as anticompetitive behavior. It's not at all fair to potential competition, who can't beat free and th

Totally agree. Having objective and open data sets on anything is great. Having daily headlines recoloring that same data is less great.

Point taken about Typhoid Mary. I should have said never before have we had so much information about asymptomatic disease transmission to see / worry about. As for the testing ... I still do think Covid is extremely unique here. The U

At this point we almost know too much about the spread of this disease. Never in history have we tested so much for one thing. Never in history have we really worried about asymptomatic cases of anything. This is probably the first time in

Assembler CSS doesn't look very good and I wouldn't use it ... but I have come to absolutely love utility CSS through Tailwind. Tailwind's documentation does a good job explaining why: https://tailwindcss.com/
