Thank you for Shen Lisp, I wasn't aware of it. The downside of the phrase Turing complete is that there isn't a practical limitation that instantly comes to mind when you hear that phrase. You don't hear people say "Oh n

The way to dethrone Google isn't to steal their traffic. It's to dampen their ads. You don't win with a frontal attack. It's a better strategy to come in from the side, or even do the opposite of Google. Make browsers hi

We’d encourage you to think about what this is a feature of on the path to being the next Google. If the way the next Google will win is by making the current Google irrelevant, one way to make it irrelevant is to take away its revenue fr

Companies do it primarily because they don't understand the large variance in productivity between tech people, which seems to range between 18x-25x. They think they can outsource the task like outsourcing office cleaners. The problem
