Not an AOL moment, but they do seem to having an OS 9 moment: Releasing stuff just to slap a larger number on the box. Ironically I was playing around with BasiliskII last night and was reminded how janky and tasteless the OS got before mak

Let me say it another way — When the pioneers of the Internet started working on the first protocols, MANY of them thought it would lead to a new area of peace and free-thought. In 2025, many of them now just believe they created a corporat

Never really understood this argument, you just sell the bitcoin in any currency you want in a VERY liquid market. But in 2014, you would have needed 100,000 bitcoins to buy a backhoe. In 2025 you need 1 bitcoin. That should scare you.

In the US we have community colleges where you can take classes cheaply. Here in San Francisco there is a great Electronics class at CCSF you can take for free, providing you finish the course and are an SF resident.

In practice, it probably has been happening for in all past admins, but not in such an obvious and bombastic way. The optics of the current admin's "everything is a marketing strategy" perspective is just horrible for the fut

I think it's pretty clear what Trump's long-term solution is with unobtainable economic goals on China and strategic outreach to Russia — He wants to turn that 4x into 1x via hot war before the Xi's 2027 military goals are re

He had a choice of hard landing vs soft landing. He chose hard landing — looking at history, large scale war follows failed economic war and alliances are arming up in anticipation. I hope Hegseth is ready.
