This is valuable work in cataloging the foundations of the computing industry! It's weird to see times one has lived through presented as ancient history....

My notion of how to address the feed supply issue is: 1. Black Soldier Flies 2. Duckweed 3. Algae (Omega 3s) All of the above are strong protein sources and duckweed and algae are fast growers and high density producers (at least

Did you mean black soldier fly? Farming them is a thing and there should be a lot more of them -- converting waste to protein is a major win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetia_illucens

Needing immigration to make up for plummeting birth rates in the US will be a challenge in the current political climate. Having kids is expensive and for many people of reproductive age there's the additional concern of bringing a chi

The real fork is DuckDB in a way, it has SQLite compatibility and so much more . The SQLite team also has 2 branches that address concurrency that may someday merge to trunk, but by their very nature they are quite conservative and it may

I'm a fan of Andrew and am impressed by how he's evolved from documenting stupid kids to actually reporting on issues of interest. I agree that one catches more flies with honey rather than vinegar, but many times it doesn't

"You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place." Fox (and others like it) offer 24/7 propaganda based on fear and anger, repeating lies ad nauseam. It's highly effective -

Perhaps I'm working of a false narrative, but SpaceX and the methodology it uses (simplify everything and fail fast) seems to be coming directly from Elon. He's a horrible human being but has had a couple worthy ideas.

The problem of debunking right-wing misinformation is that it doesn't seem to matter. The consumers of that misinformation want it and those of us who think it's bad for society already know that its garbage. It feels like we&#x

All of this needs to be traced back to the source driving all actions: incentives. People will do what they're in incentivized to do. Yeah, it's a "duh!" statement but needs to be front and center when analyzing workfl

As someone who believes in legalizing all drugs and in general "personal freedoms", I'd add recreational drugs to this list. The demand will always be there but there should be strong incentives to not incentivize use (e.g.

I can't speak to that but assume that will take a lot longer than fast charging. Weight may be an issue to you (and the roads) but I have to imagine most drivers don't care about that at all.

FFS, algo tweaking is not censorship. Censorship would be prohibiting the speech at all. And what is the political part of this? That "illegal immigrants" are coming in to your country? To amp up anger and fear over that? This is

I think that's a fait accompli -- it's merely a matter of who has access to the data. The funny thing is that the clear anti-democratic leanings of our technolords are based upon not trusting the vote of the masses has unfortunate
