I don't think he'd waste his reputation in that way intentionally, especially when pretty much every word he utters gets to the top of the charts on this site and goes semi-viral elsewhere.

You realize he’s one of the main players in your enjoyment of the internet as we see it today right? This is a drastic over-generalization, and a very controversial one at that. He played a big role in popularizing the Web , which many p

I expect this essay to be the target of criticism. Here’s a modest proposal to my critics. Instead of attacking my ideas of what to build, conceive your own! What do you think we should build? There’s an excellent chance I’ll agree with yo

Permission isn't needed; fascists don't ask for consent. If it really riles you up, which it should, you should go and pressure your legislators into creating legislation that prevents them from doing what they're doing.

Knuth isn't "terrible" at electronic mail or keeping on top of things. He used electronic mail for decades. He's old. He doesn't want to use it anymore. So he doesn't. https://www-cs-faculty.stanford

What happened to irc.com? It seems like you had pretty big plans for it (especially with the letter you wrote on it), but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.

MMIX programs can actually be run, and MMIX has multiple simulators. Actual MMIX chips can be made. MMIX also allows students to reason about the properties of modern chips without experiencing quite the complexity they'd have to deal

While far from aesthetically-pleasing, and generally a downgrade in every way as far as looks go, this has some really (surprisingly) interesting features. I'm not 100% on this, but I'd be very surprised if SONY isn't going

Makes me think that some of us here are wasting our abilities on start-ups and systems when we could be working on fixing much more complex systems. This can go in the wrong direction. Nobody wants to be McNamara, though being Zuckerberg

This is horrifying. Conversations soon became impossible. Lee started chattering in repetitive, unceasing loops. He would tell Kristin: “We met at Cloudflare. We got engaged in Rome. We got married in Maui, Hawaii.” He repeated it hundreds

Masayoshi has actually had a known track-record since about 2000 or so. He's been the man who's lost the most money in history since about the same. Seventy-billion dollars!
