Pretty much all sci-fi set more than 100 years into the future features some sort of intergalactic space travel (Elysium is a rare counter-example). I think ultimately we lack a collective imagination for just how stuck we are here for at l

Looking at their website ( https://worldcoin.org/how-it-works ) their commitment to user privacy is very location-specific: the pictures taken in France have non-participants' faces blurred out. The photos taken everywhe

Hack is not a PHP flavour. It's a separate language that's inspired by PHP, with its own separate interpreter (HHVM). Etsy still uses PHP, as does Vimeo and Wikimedia. A few other launched-in-early-oughts web properties rely heavi

Yup, it's a really really bad bug that Vimeo ran into frequently in 2019-early 2020. Migrating to K8s-based deployments was the effective workaround, but before that it was not fun to have that sort of unreliability.

A very very minute percentage of bitcoin is used in transactions. The vast bulk of it is seen by its users as an investment. And historically there have been Ponzi schemes that allowed people to cash out before the scheme fell apart — but i

No — I know lots of young people who hate all public forms of social media, and worry constantly about having any sort of visible opinions — and these are people with socially-liberal political views. It really is just a personal preference

Blank is fine. I don’t think anything really changed there — those of us who think their opinions are worth other people hearing about (and I’m generally in that camp) have been around since time immemorial, and I doubt we’re growing as a p

I bet placing an advert as a pre-roll counts towards a YouTube video's view count. That would explain the format of the last video — a brief teaser for that 5-second countdown. I bet Ozy has next-to-zero organic traffic to any of its p

Wow, mine was just an amazingly brain-dead post, but it also reinforces the idea that the deputy PM isn’t the PM-in-waiting.

Yeah it didn’t exist under Blair — then Gordon Brown was the de facto #2 but it was never an official designation.

FYI the author of this post is paid just shy of 4 million dollars a year by Facebook to say this sort of stuff.

Yeah, three companies worth an estimated $300B can keep any language alive. It’s fascinating to track the second wind of out-of-fashion languages, held aloft by a few mature companies that depend on it.

I’ve always enjoyed taking photos, but much of the enjoyment has come from having other people see and appreciate them. FB & Instagram reduced time between taking a photo and having people see it, and there have been times where I poste

Unless she used her official FB email to send these docs I don't see why it would be much of a scandal. Probably won't help her career progression at FB, though.

This is a dumb headline. She wasn’t working in her capacity as a FB exec. She was working as a loyal former aide.

Largely, yes. Murdoch has a hands-off approach with News Corp — his politics are, if you can believe it, to the left of most Fox News viewers, but it makes shit-tons of money for him. Roger Ailes was the one sending out the memos, the one M
