Yeah, I have to be pretty skeptical of the above take, for this reason: 1) I live in San Francisco. A ton of residents here commute to Mountain View and environs for work. A ton. 2) Most of those residents are young. 3) One of the few thing

My understanding was that it happened more organically. When I see a story at the top of a page, what I feel like I'm really seeing, most of the time, is an attempt by a nano-influencer, or really just an average person, to build a bra

> That appeals to some folks but I can't imagine why someone interested in writing for publication would choose it over Scrivener or a word processor and why it's desirable to attract such users. Color me surprised! I'm tu

I was thinking I like the blog format, actually: more like Tweets than like 'My Manifesto About Software, Life, the Universe, and Everything: Volume I of MDXXIII.' It just has an inherent digestibility and modesty that makes it re

Ha! Yes I do. In fact you can tell my amateur-ness from this, that this misstatement didn't immediately jump out as wrong (though I do know there is no Nobel for math, when I stop and think about it). I should have said the Fields Meda

I feel like it's worth pointing out here, for Americans who don't know better (no blame implied), that the French have one of the best mathematical pipelines in the world. They have almost as many Nobels (13 vs. 11) despite having
