The NSA is not working for us. They deliberately undermine security in order to illegally spy on everyone. They’ve been caught doing it dozens of times and there are currently indications that they’re doing it again. I’m not sure we should

The latest dungeon crawler Carl book comes out on Tuesday. That’s a fun series. I’m also reading the new James SA Corey series (the expanse). The first one is called “the mercy of gods”. I also received the recommendation of “what moves th

Space is really, really, really big. There could be a trillion intelligent species of our level of development broadcasting in English on radio channels we use and we wouldn’t hear them because space-time is big. We’ve been listening for ra

Nothing you said is a red flag. Introverts work with extroverts all the time. Co-founder relationships are like marriage times two. You spend all day together, you’re financially bound, you will disagree and you will need to resolve conflic
