I'm still very skeptical but humor me, Given these anecdotes from Wikipedia: "As the officer pulled his car into a busy intersection, he suddenly felt as though his head were going to explode. His two-year-old son, in a car seat i

I fully support breaking up big tech, but there are geopolitical dimensions I'm surprised many pushing breaking up big tech don't seem to consider. It's much easier for non-US entities to selectively block and pressure smalle

One thing I noticed on music videos is that if I click on the Mix on the sidebar for that video it has a heavy bias for videos I've previously watched even if it has nothing to do with that song's genre. I have kind of weird taste

"I'm not sure how I got sucked into Tiktok but I was quickly hooked." All these apps use behavioral design to get you hooked. Tiktok is oversocialization on steroids. You have people not only acting out the behavioral scripts

A bit OT, but the World Figure Skating Championships are being held in Montreal at about the exact same time as SXSW is suppose to be held(a couple weeks in mid-March). Which is fine by me. They're taking a lot of precautions but a lot

This is about 15 years too late. We haven't been monocultural for a long time... hence the frequent grasp to reboot things for when we were more monocultural.

Dependency leads you to getting screwed over in negotiations... from American IT to Chinese manufacturing. Autarchy is not a serious option but you've got to have options for exiting lopsided relationships.

I have no idea what I'm talking about here, but isn't there more biodiversity that hasn't been fully explored in the Amazon compared to forests in temperate climates? That's what I'm more worried about.
