This is a lot like the Gilded Age in the US back in the late 1800s, early 1900s. You had massive political polarization, like today, massive income inequality, and industry that was controlled by a few large companies. It eventually boiled

I would love to see more enthusiast scissor-switch keyboards. I learned to type on a mechanical keyboard, and I've tried all sorts of modern mechanical keyboards over the years. But I feel like laptop-style scissor switch keyboards a

Covid and climate change aren't one country problems. Just like a building on fire doesn't affect just one office. The problem is we need top-down coordination for worldwide threats. We need the UN, or a UN-like organization (U

I've been using Raindrop.io for a few months as a bookmarking service, and it's wonderful to use. It's similar to Pocket, but provides much more flexibility. Plus, the mini-app extension is great.

I work in Times Square, so I'd probably be one of the first to be exposed if anything came to the US early. I had a very weird flu back in late January. It wasn't serious, but I had a cough that wouldn't go away for a week a
