Do you have digital notes of some kind? Even just a massive “notes.txt” file? Curious because there’s just so much stuff out there. If I don’t write it down somewhere searchable I’m doomed to repeat the mistake in the future. But I have cra

I guess I interpreted the expression literally as "changed the world [at all]", when most people interpret it as "changed the world [significantly]".

Yeah but those guys had to work at big tech companies. Not everything is about ROI or money, even in business. Some people genuinely prefer working on “their own thing” or somewhere they feel they have more impact even if there is less fina

Yes it has, I see bitcoin ATMs all over the place and know that tons of people exchange cryptocurrencies daily for fiat and for other cryptocurrencies. A lot of people use it to gamble and buy drugs online. Some people are using it as a mon

It may be comparable to the invention of the search engine: instead of looking up stuff in dictionaries and encyclopedias people could find information online way faster. The accuracy of the information back then, however, was not as great

It's only risky if you feel a need to ship and profit from it. If you treat the game development process as an artistic endeavor, you can enjoy the time you are spending on it. Like an amateur painter creating a piece, just for somethi

That's cool, but you could have probably figured out how to do that with a google search as well, albeit not as quickly. So your example speeds up something that was already possible, but doesn't necessarily introduce anything nov

You don’t need a car in SF. Also can you name a city that has “died” recently? Maybe Detroit?

Well of course Microsoft is going to say something sensational about it, aren’t they in charge of the project somewhat? This is just an advertisement for them, by them.

On memory: Is memory even that useful anymore? Now that we are all literate and can offload our knowledge to our devices, perhaps the ability to keep that written information organized and having systems is a more useful skill than being ab

I think the bigger issue is that instead of having conversations with those around me I can choose to interact with people like you who may be a thousand miles away instead.
