You're almost certainly right, of course, and it's interesting how medium fell into the same cycle of amplifying junk. Netflix is another case study here of something where the incentives weren't as obvious as with advertisin

Similarly, if Google (and Googlers) have had access to this or better for some time, where is the step change in productivity / innovation / technology?

You might be understating the task. After all, all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone

Agreed. The time between now and then is much scarier. Companies can't even wrap their heads around sim swapping scams and social engineering of secret questions.

Same here, I use it on a small informational site to get an idea of referrers to occasionally go looking for feedback. It does what it says on the tin. Good software.

It's a backwards-looking explanation though in this instance, and so subject to explanations and recollections which frame the purchaser as not having been fooled but rather <something more noble>. Not to say I live inside parent

In a lot of ways it feels like this finale was already written. This bubble birthed and featured Cathie and Saylor (again) to a large degree, but the real star was Elon. There's always too much poetry in these cycles for him not to fal

Can't help but feel like that last bit may have fallen off the wrong side of the subjectivity vs conviction chart. If people want to live different they can. Plenty of people die in their 50s and 60s. Some earlier.

Definitely. If I'm mistaken and we can point to an organism living right now which isn't directly related to / descendant from the Last Universal Common Ancestor then we're already dealing with multiple "individuals

It depends. For me it would be incredibly interesting. If we take that life plausibly "started" as as one single-celled individual who then "reproduced" through cell division (let's call him Luca), then he's ef

That's pretty amazing if true. How does this work?

Yeesh. It's fine for us to admit that things sometimes have flaws which could be improved. The app not opening without network connectivity just seems like one of those, we can acknowledge that without conceding the whole concept and&#

Regardless of all of that, 30g of protein is fine for one of what will probably be a few meals throughout the day. It's a little more than you'd get from a standard serving of a quality protein shake.

From memory I think (please, someone correct me if I'm wrong) there were some articles about hiring on merit rather than promoting gender (and possibly race/culture) diversity as an ideal?

It quite obviously wasn't, but man , if this was all just one big substack marketing exercise.

The journalists doing good work would be almost entirely excluded by this law. This money would go to an organisation which largely peddles outrage and division.

Right. This one, though, seems to be much more adept at spreading through communities than your run-of-the-mill bacterial pneumonia or type two diabetes. That must factor into your equivalence test, no?

Are there any notable teachers who take or have taken this approach? I can't think of any from my education, everything was bottom up building. But when I self-teach (as it naturally emerges from pursuing projects related to work or ho

There may have been a misunderstanding. I didn't post to score points against you or at all discredit your personal experience.

Agreed that it certainly can feel "fluked" or random which areas are overwhelmed and which recover, but I have to disagree with the idea that Vietnam didn't take it particularly seriously. I was there in February, for around

Some of these missed the mark a bit, but broadly speaking I agree with most of these points. There are definitely, for instance, topics which the typical Free Speech proponents get most vocal about which I think simply aren't worth tal

Sure, but it's also got a great deal to do with political identity and group signalling. In the modern age (and forever, probably, but more quietly / less permanently), we are defined by what we're outraged by. So we've

I'd used lua in my early teens to script some games and ended up receiving money for my efforts, so I put it on my resume coming out of university. It turned out that one of the first companies (embedded, automation) I interviewed with
