He embarrassed himself with Nate Silver, Stephen Pinker, and most other disputes I've ever seem him wage. Not to mention being notoriously moody on twitter, and cozying up to alt-right trolls. If you are just relying on the supposed cr

I like the Pocket recommendations, and the various campaigns aren't that annoying so long as they remain focused on tech freedom, not other causes. I generally agree with the choice of killing off XUL, since WebExtensions has clearly

People should look more at neurobiological solutions. Addiction comes from brain chemistry. That doesn't necessarily mean the solution is drugs. Even certain vitamins are precursors to neurotransmitters. The form of Vitamin B6 known as

It is ironic that every new preference meant to enhance privacy only adds more bits of information by which to fingerprint you. But maybe fingerprinting is unavoidable. As far as I understand, to avoid fingerprinting, you would need to not

Inflation has two definitions. There's monetary inflation and price inflation. The former refers to an expansion in the money supply. If you fund any social program purely out of tax revenue, then there is no monetary expansion. But mo

Some people have photosensitivity. Those with lighter colored eyes tend to have more photosensitivity. I wonder if this affects the preferences one way or another. There's also plenty of shades between white and black, and maybe there&

As someone who tried to follow it somewhat closely in the early days, the entirety of the lockdown debates were based on the early case fatality rate data which people were unable to properly contextualize, and then later the treatment prot

I literally just saw someone advising people to liquidate their 401K to buy uniswap. Whether they explicitly say it is a get rich quick scheme or not, this is the message the marks are receiving.

Each year the companies listen to user feedback and iteratively improve the hardware and software. I've never used an iPhone, but Galaxy phones used to have a really stupid and annoying button for their intrusive personal assistant. No

The new coins aren't immediately put onto the market. They just show up as extra coins in wallets. The miners may or may not immediately try to cash out. Probably a fair number of them don't, since why else would they be in this g
