Unsatisfied with built-in folder-based bookmarks, I made a tiny site in Flask where I could add links, along with comments and tags. I can then search any of these fields. I'm sure it exists somewhere, but it was a nice learning experi

This might be entirely missing the point, but doesn't simply the production of new music, assuming it has any listeners at all, dilute the listenership of old music? If there's new music released in year N, and it has some share

This reminds me of something Gabe Newell famously said about Steam. > "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product any

One thing to recognise here is that "income" isn't an entirely global concept, and has been pushed into a lot of places, which frequently go from something resembling a barter or trade economy into a place full of "low-i

The insight is, in my opinion, more related to the attaching of the idea of "rotation" to space-time, and using that to explain why we can't just add velocities at high "rotations".

I think this was one of the few good Twitter threads. Each Tweet was a kind of step from the previous, towards the next. The only thing I think would be improved by having this in blogpost form is more interact-able visuals, equations and s

I wonder if the disposition towards following health advice is in some way causally connected to the reduction in death rate...

It only means overwhelmed healthcare if the hospitalisation/requirement for healthcare rate is high enough. If this variant is 5x more infectious, but 5x less likely to result in hospitalisation, the net effect on healthcare resources

I think that comment is mostly pointed at people who don't actually have "exposure" to barter with. I'm sure a lot of people would do commissions for "free" if it meant they got put at the top of BigSite.com.

Basically nobody does anything altruistically, and it's naïve to think otherwise. Does that matter, though?

That's basically increasing the breakdown voltage, no? Even if the "gap" between plates is 4 meters of insulation.

Sure, this sucks. I guess the counterargument is that then, given that the new API in Chrome is an improvement over the standard, waiting for this API to be actually accepted and written into the spec is a long, arduous process during whi
