Beware the house mouse. With its access to processed food, it is likely to acquire dementia later in life, and become a burden upon its caretakers.

Yes, that's what I meant. The point I was trying to make was that just knowing server side scripting was a necessary but not sufficient condition to create a hit photo sharing app at that time, because there weren't many options

Parts of IG in the early days involved filters on iOS, which at the time there was no library for. My understanding. The web version was Django, yes.

Some of the most inspirational stories in tech are along the lines of "I had this terrible job where we had to use tech X so I wrote adapter Y in more cool tech Z and automated the whole thing and took long lunches."

Then there's the category "so bad it's good". "Three Cups of Tea" is The Room for books. It is a trifecta of sorts: poorly written, nonfiction, and partially falsified and debunked.

Format of a techno-optimist essay. Formulate a common neurosis that people are self conscious about. State common knowledge about this neurosis. State that the common knowledge is an oversimplification. Break the problem into a graph o

I'll never forget his oversized reese's coffee mug. Strange that someone with such an obviously good sense of humor could also be so ill informed about good policy.

Funny you should mention the phenomenon of nerd bullying. Can't help but be reminded of Trump, a bully, who hosted a poker tournament in his failed casino. True to form, when asked if he was good at poker, he said he would be, if he

Economists have many choices when their models break: they can go poetic "tragedy of the commons", technical "externalities", John Nash "prisoner's dilemma", or even sort of nonsensical "internalizin

Evernote at one point a few years ago had a pen and paper thing with a grid on it they could recognize. You took pictures of it. I think it was made by moleskine. Has this been updated? This was to my recollection about 5 years ago when

The collective biological health of various species seems like an environmental concern to me. Economic externalities are a funny concept. Economists seem to use this term to obfuscate when their model fails to account for something unfor

I am being downvoted because I tried to make the point as succinctly as I could. It turns out, stating something with childish simplicity doesn't sound smart. I am also being downvoted because as other comments have noted, their intu

Sounds good, but gelatin is made from animals, and raising animals is bad for the environment.

Fell off the intermittent fasting bandwagon recently. For some reason the intermittent fasting crowd is also usually a big fan of ketosis. I have recently switched to high starch very low fat, eat whenever you want. No added oil, no anim

> Cynically I might suggest the real subtext here is about propping up commercial property investment portfolios. Great article. I recommend taking out the word "cynically". That is what this is about.

Great answer and compelling thanks. However, ouch, you used the B word. I also read the Bible for the cultural relevance. I found it to be incredibly boring as well. I do not feel better off having read it. For contrast, reading Harry

Honest question, how does one get past the idea of reading this (to say that one did so and because one respects people who have done so and the authors themselves) and the actual act of doing so, which can take several hours and become on

To turn this on its head, maybe the mobile device manufacturing duopoly has made it impossible to develop great experiences on mobile web in order to funnel more development work into their app store ecosystems? Why are we blaming reddit f
