I don't think you want to use the term "arbitrary" here, since that would imply a stronger claim: that no matter how one defines "understanding" it applies. "Yes, for some specific, narrow definition of 'u

That was my first suspicion, but it seems ahistorical and the quoted passage doesn’t speak to that question.

Help me understand the intended relevance of that passage.

You’re welcome. I get the impression that it’s more a matter of Vint Cerf being behind it and Google just letting his curiosity drive him wherever. He started it with a team of scientists at JPL, I think. Google’s ROI is probably the presti

I'd say it's zero percent insane — that is: one hundred percent sane. This first iteration of the headset is going to have a very short battery life. You do not want to run your IDE right on the headset. Video streaming is probabl

Wait, do companies buy ad placement in Teslas? Do they appear on the dashboard display while driving or something? If not, then how would they boycott?

A few years ago we had an opportunity to borrow at a negative interest rate. Should have leaned into that opportunity. Also we’re under-taxing bajillionaires and politically-active but tax-exempt megachurches.
