I'd have a guess it's because the kids simply aren't paying attention to stuff they're not interested in. If you want smart kids, just give them what they need to explore, and provide the materials they need for whatever

I've been thinking. It might be an interesting experiment to build an "average" search engine. Put average websites first. Drop down websites that get too popular.

That, and it basically just works even if you have huge connection jitter, even if you switch networks during a call, etc. Simply put, using it never annoys me. Reliability beats any fancy designer UX every time.

Page 1: About 189,000 results (0.35 seconds) Page 2: Page 2 of about 86 results (0.36 seconds) It seems they're really just trimming the web.

Stories like Ready Player One fall into a Yu-gi-oh kind of trap. They're just playing a game in a world where their game is somehow the center of attention. It's more like a filter bubble, where the whole world looks like it confo

From a business POV, whoever stakes the metaverse first, has entrenched their game engine. The metaverse will not be AAA budget quality, anything of that caliber, such as Fortnite, can easily be scrapped off potentials. A metaverse is by de

Reading code is the biggest problem. Good tests, I find, are to give them a simple piece of code with minimal comments. For example, some non-standard special purpose container implementation. Then ask them to explain what the purpose of th

Amusingly, assuming the example company's pricing remained the same throughout rather than cutting prices each year, the client base ends up fixed, the clients get 5x better service by the 5th year, while accounting shows a decline in

You're right, growing capital but not growing income... I made a poor example. (Imagining a bottom pricing scenario, while keeping a positive cashflow.) Good point. At year 6 this logic breaks down. (Then again, no longer a 'start

Imagine you're a growing startup, and you have a yearly recurring investment (you're growing, after all!) of $1000 that's linearly depreciated over 5 years. Let's say your income is 1100$ each year. Your profit, accordin

I miss recognizable colors, and clear silhouettes. Too many icons now are monochrome squiggles and blobs on a (rounded) rectangle silhouette. About as horrible as it can get.
