Are some people smarter than others? Do some people have better ability to sprint versus others? Do some people win the genetic lottery and have rich parents that can provide greater benefits to them than others? If the answer to any of the

We did create transmission of diseases across the planet by sending explorers between continents. The same way we enabled COVID spread through international travel. These are not bad things in and of themselves, but yes as humans advance we

These GLP-1 drugs are going to have as significant an impact on humanity as antibiotics, and vaccines. History will look back at their invention as one of the key advances in medicine.

Feels like peak capitalism where we have most needs met at the minimum required level and so we seek out more novelty and fun in our lives. Used to just be TV, but the amped up level of interest and adrenalin when it's happening in rea

My guess is that a bunch of startups that have gone on to do well and were rejected aren't broadcasting that around. Too many other priorities to deal with when things are succeeding and no reason to create any negative feelings about

I think many of the impacts to the economy from inflation and interest rate increases take time before we see the full picture. For example, the housing market seemed to still be hot even with increased rates, but that is because of the del

I think the key word in your question is "primarily." And because of that I would say not at all. The early Internet was people having the ability to connect and communicate with others all over the world. Being able to meet, or l

And on top of this increase in complexity, is a decrease in legal consequences for bad actors taking advantage of this complexity. That is what is going on currently due to how the Internet crosses international borders which makes policing

Probably just us flexing that we have them too. Likely have had them, but kept it quiet as no need to declare our capabilities. Since others are crowing about it, just letting them know we also have same.

Took this journey myself 8ish years ago to learn Clojure. I think by default most experienced devs in other languages will find it frustrating. It seems to be a language where it is frustrating up to a certain point and then once you cross
