This feels like the ultimate outcome of both companies' lax moderation policies. Ironic that about a year ago there were several articles about how Facebook will suppress misleading anit-vax content but will not remove it [1]. I imagin

It's good that this is reported on but I agree about the addiction. A fun exercise I do is look around me and find all the plastic or petroleum derivatives. What does the world look like without oil? It strains the imagination. But tha

A motivation for no longer reporting unit sales was that analysts paid way too much attention to those numbers. I recall several quarters where device sales fell just a little and people would proclaim the soon death of the company[1]. Thou

I wonder if more speculation around the stock is driven by not reporting iDevice sales numbers each quarter. Speculation aside, Airpods really have taken off, at least as a status symbol. So much so that I know a kid who has airpods but (un

When I think of seasteadding one of the things that pops into my head is Sealand as the cover story of Wired magazine [1]. I think it's a good prequel to the linked Atlantic article. [1]: https://www.wired.com/2000&#x2F
