In the 80s, I resided on a US Military base in West Germany. Currently, I feel like the world is getting closer to World War III, which is the closest experience I have had in my lifetime. There is ongoing conflict in Europe involving a cou

It's challenging to take a CEO seriously who lacks enough self-awareness to un-ironically use the term "journey". Similarly, just open it up for everyone to use, I'm using ChatGPT now, ship your product, don't just

Gilbert Godfrey famously made a 9/11 joke that “bombed” on September 29, 2001. If you eliminate all comedy that offends someone, there won’t be much left to laugh about.

Traveling exhibit, charge $50/head, $20 for social media photo, concessions and you really only need 400,000 people to buy a ticket. If you do a limited tour of the top 20 cities in the USA (population 35 million, you only need 1% of p

"Genghis Khan himself was technically not ethnic Han, but he and mainly his successors saw themselves as legitimate Chinese emperors by establishing the Yuan Dynasty." I guess you can try to argue some kind of blood purity, but I

Which part of history does Genghis Khan fit into your narrative? He died in 1227, having killed between 4 million to 60 million people...

I’ve had it confidently tell me to use Python libraries that don’t exist, pass parameters to methods that aren’t in the method signature, and to write code that had to be debugged and fixed. I’m still excited to use it, but you have to know

YouTube Kids is awful It locks up regularly, such that I have to kill the app and restart it. They helpfully put a parental lock button right where a child would hold a phone, so they are constantly hitting the button, and bringing up a br

I once wrote a PCX decoder in Pascal outputting VGA w/mode 13. The cool part for me was it had run length encoding, which I was able to figure out trivially just reading the spec. May not have been the most efficient, but way easier

Sadly, science has been politicized, and has had such perverse incentives applied at the University that it's almost corrupt. For example, peer review, ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1420798&#x2

My understanding it they do something like this for bone marrow transplants with radiation/chemotherapy. Hopefully helps with Google searches, or someone coming to correct me :)

Agreed, police needs more officers, better training, and higher standards. Another factor is having enough officers to pair up at all times, this helps deescalate conflict up front, and has officers less likely to attempt lethal force than

You just made me realize the first level tech recruiters are over as a job. Many of them use blind templated reach outs that will actually be better with AI looking at your exact profile and GitHub.

The point is they didn’t need any couch there. Or could have gotten something comfortable from ikea and maybe wouldn’t have had to sell their company to Elon and had all this useless shit auctioned off.

I always think about the $10,000 couch in the lobby of the Seattle Twitter office that no one ever sat on. Twitter wasted money on shit that didn’t matter for years.

Kirk: Bones, did you ever hear of a doomsday machine? McCoy: No. I'm a doctor, not a mechanic. Kirk: It's a weapon built primarily as a bluff. It's never meant to be used. So strong, it could destroy both sides
