So, and I may be oversimplifying, you are creating awesome documents and references that I would have loved to have for my different jobs 5-10 years ago (or more). It’s just that making such docs had next to no ROI 10 years ago. But today t

This is a personal opinion, so please be careful, but technology enables new forms of behaviour and opportunity that we can’t always predict. And so …. We will live in a almost totally transparent world - our daily interactions, voice, text

That’s an interesting take. I certainly agree with the estate / inheritance tax (the main issue is “resetting” the value to market at point of inheritance) But as for the valuation problem I think that can only stretch so far. If you

Some thoughts I have been having recently 1. Wealthy more or less means able to live off the investments (passive income). Usually it means live off the interest of the interest (generally assessed as 8 million bucks nest egg) 2. It’s an ob

So the interesting thread through history for me was the comment on Damascus - the streets were built with houses close together and therefore carriages could not pass each other (and presumably barely in single file) It was not possible to

Thanks … nicely put That helps me frame the experts vs science idea. Science is just the parts that evidence does not disprove. Expertise is understanding how the various explanations we have with science fits together, framing it as it wer

We don’t need to rely on experts to experience art - I think that is a fundamental part of art- within the limits similar to free speech, anything is art. (But don’t block rush hour traffic with your interpretive dance troupe) Is a painting

The Mona Lisa was famous before the 20th C because da Vinci carried it around for 20 years saying “this is the greatest painting I have ever done”. That kept it famous for 500 years. It then gained modern new media celebrity by getting ni

I genuinely don’t know what “ Git itself is being reengineered for machine scale “‘means not what “rebuilding the CI/CD as orchestration layer” means. I think you need to explain it like it’s a bash script else I don’t think you unders

Well that’s mostly the argument (as I see it). As in, privacy is not secrecy. Privacy is the politeness of our neighbours, not their ignorance. Do we think people will stop being polite for cash. Of course which is why now we need (solutio
