I wouldn’t be where I am today without 2600. Hacking (real hacking, not pg’s definition) is what lead me to learn to code when I was a teenager back in the 90s. Many of the folks I met via 2600 may not be CEOs but are extremely successful.

They retail for around $500. But that’s not the point. You can get them from and store them anywhere. You pay for the convenience of not lugging one around. You have the flexibility of walking between destinations, not always having to use

Can this study be done with the cow feed just being plain old grass? There’s lots of anecdotal evidence showing grass fed cows don’t produce much methane, thereby making pasture raised meat environmentally friendly. Yet there doesn’t appear

I made a text-only ephemeral social network as a side project a while ago. It deletes messages after 24 hours, and warns if a screenshot is taken: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blink/id1086509452?mt=8 .

Nice execution! I made something similar a few years ago, except it generated a playlist of previews from iTunes with an option to connect Spotify. It worked by finding all venues within a certain radius from you using the Foursquare API, a

I have a friend who got an entire sleave of an MC Escher piece. I asked him what it meant and he said: “I dunno but it looks cool right?”. I think that’s the way to go if you don’t want to regret it later. Just get nice looking art that has

> Yeah, but then Google, Facebook et al started throwing six-figure salaries to CS graduates to steal your data and, well, that's what happened to hackers' ethics and technology morality. I think it's more than the money.

I was one of the earliest successful indie iOS developers. I've had my apps featured on Apple TV ads and billboards, and they've had tens of millions of downloads. The days of being able to do that are long gone. You'll have

For those looking for an alternate hacker-friendly solution, you can make your own smart remote with a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I made an IR blaster that replaced all my IR based remotes [1]. I’m sure you can make one for RF ones as well. And t

My app was doing really well in the App Store, and Apple was featuring it on billboards and TV ads. As an indie developer, it was the best thing I could have hoped for. I didn't want to mess up that relationship with Apple in any way.

Naval Ravikant's tweetstorm today is highly relevant to this [1]: 1/ If the primary purpose of school was education, the Internet should obsolete it. But school is mainly about credentialing. 2/ Schools survive anti-education
