I think it's pretty common for major companies to have an archive of industry milestones (like the Honda Collection Hall). Plus what they paid for this NFT is probably cheap for the PR they get in return, positioning them as a hip cryp

From what I've seen though, notable works have only gained notoriety _because_ they're NFTs. Beyond that, CryptoPunks/CrytpoKitties aren't really artistically interesting at all.

The mouse situation generally in the mac ecosystem is hot garbage. You need a third party tool to disable cursor acceleration and scroll wheel acceleration (both of which are major quality-of-life features). You also can't map pressin

Comments like this (and many others in this thread) are so indicative to me of the bubble a lot of tech people live in. I personally know several people who are extremely vulnerable to the coronavirus (by age, location, and preexisting medi

Because there's a hell of a lot of them. They also have a tendency to do things that effect others; like vote, and commit armed insurrections of the capitol.

Why can't both be true? Actual qanon types absolutely latch on to stories like this-- kind of a broken clock situation.

by moolcool 5y ago
There's legitimate stories where there's a lot of smoke, and a lot of credible speculation (the Epstein story and lab-leak theory are two good examples). The problem is that these get coopted by qanon and affiliated groups and sta

+1, and with all due respect to PG's technical background, reductive and stereotyping pieces like this kind of feel like he's looking at the people who thrust him into his lofty VC position with contempt.

Do you think the record labels would be fine with Apple streaming their IP in a lossless and DRM-free format? It's self-evident that DRM-free is objectively more versatile, but it's also self-evident that it can't not have DR
