I remember random recruiters talking me into speaking with 4 blockchain companies for remote gigs. I had a hard time understanding the value proposition and asked the founders types of questions like, why is this knowledge base better than

The article mentions ubiquitous micro satellites. This tech is simply following from that although not directly stated in the title. The fact that these micro satellites are cheap and so easy to cookie cutter and deploy is great in terms of

This is cool but now I'm more concerned in learning how launching micro satellites has become so easy for the masses which would be my opposite reaction normally. Meaning this is not without bad side effects. I watched "in a nutsh

It was interesting to note about workers and using web assembly together within V8 as this scenario could bypass the need for complexity and memory overhead, while combining different programming languages on the server-side. Not that it co

Maybe a different paradigm to blogging would be bring your own cloud, put in your cloud creds, then it does the beauty work for you in publishing static stuff to those cloud providers like AWS S3. You just pay a minimal fee to use it ad hoc

Yah that's why I use the serializable override: someObj.toJSON = function() { return { foo: this.foo, bar: this.bar } } It is an extra step but when using redux or something like that you have to serialize stuff anyway to store it an

The Gates Foundation focuses on real problems and how they can be implemented in the real world to actually solve things that work with the environment, economy and culture symbiotically as opposed to paying for porta-potties and drop shipp

Yes this is a clear cut argument. The fact that the brain is hidden under the skull allows people to make statements that people's brains are all the same and its just effort after that. I think generally they are correct but there are

There is something to be said for that, 20/20 hindsight is easy to classify and mistakingly so bringing reasons for things unknown or impossible to know ahead of time is silly. I get that too.

I would say opportunity + curiosity + propensity is the formula and we know what curiosity and propensity are not chosen things. The other caveat is just anomalous ability and although rare we have strong evidence of these people existing.

Crazy genius. This is an example of someone born to do something.

The media one is a really interesting point. I did not consider that but makes sense.

actually i thought this but was too cowardly to say that directly.

Right but how does this benefit Peter directly? I was trying to think of many ways, both positive and negative. Tax benefits is a simplistic one...a possible negative way maybe crazy but if US innovation goes down because of Trump, possibly

I really enjoy hearing the minds here on their opinion of why Peter Thiel is backing Trump. I don't quite get the motivation and if there are any insights to this, please fire away.

Short lived JWT is ok for stitching desperate micro services together as it saves round trips to verify things but I prefer mystery tokens when using more intimate services that have access to similar underlying stores to verify them. Basic

Or maybe rephrase to "if you're looking for praise..." as i think it may be misplaced to expect it in mass unless you have had tons of user testing/feedback and iterations to move it that way. Opinion is just consensus a

I don't know if it's a bad future but it would limit our potential to our current biological evolution's zeitgeist. An analogy would be like giving the kids all the candy they wanted. It isn't good for them in the long r

Right this is a great point. Future "mates" would be entirely generated exactly tailored to one's neural pattern optimally in every dimension that is then projected onto some morphing android or in some VR future tech that wo

The Quest is a fantastic direction to go in making immediate playability and usability in real-world space with more than one player in the same area and without the PC/wires which is the problem with the other headsets. The Go is just

Couldn't a simulation also simulate our conclusions that we are not in one? It doesn't seem like one could answer this with any certainty in the end.

This is a theme in that all major compiled languages will have an ability to publish to wasm as WebAssembly is a standard that allows this and we'll see more frameworks like this coming up for various ones. It will be nice for all the

Right it becomes not science if it cannot be tested or verified i wonder if quantum computers are helping though in the sense as its a practical use of being in many states at once although not in the macro sense

This reminds me of animating paperback book pages as a transition to directly linking web pages. The paradigm is leaking over to the new one where the new one doesn't have a good way to do it yet. Instead, I would have a hall with port

There has to be that balance of market places and convenience, not just a bunch of houses spaced far apart and wide streets. That isn't scalable. The suburbs are too sprawled where driving is necessary to get to anyplace useful if you

I think there is a big difference though. Theme parks are super over crowded and you end up having sore feet and wait in long lines all day and still having to hold on to your kids of fear of losing them in the crowd. I guess its still bett
