If the Yellowstone Caldera blows up or an asteroid hits, I want to know rather than wonder what happened and what I need to do. A system like this only needs to work once for it to pay off.

I use Dropbox Paper for notes. It has the minimalism of Keep, but you can use formatting, and you're not limited to HTML exports. You can export everything (or just a few things) as Markdown or .docx files.

One country waging most of the wars and maiming instead of killing is not an improvement.

Lack of certain information is a valuable data point. Privacy-conscious searchers are served by many small but profitable niche industries.

Not the person you replied to, but: Google invests tremendous wealth into guessing what you mean based on what it knows about you and what it knows in general. That's how you can type in a generic word that's also the title of 300

Someone should do a study to see if the lottery effect--where winning the lottery leaves you worse off because you don't know how to handle that much money--is at work with VC funding.

This is key, I think. Microsoft had enough runway to figure it out. Apple has a multiple of that. What does Tesla have to keep it alive while they figure out the next step?

I read a fan theory that Kylo Ren embodies all the fans who can't deal with the franchise changing for new audiences. He's the archetypal curmudgeon, like his dad.

The struggle is being self-aware enough to know whether or not you're being a curmudgeon stuck in the past. For example, I used to hate the new direction of the Ninja Turtles after the original cartoon and movies. But a lot of people l

I know. I used GitLab as an example because git is as ubiquitous in development as email and just as prone to centralization. Plus, the recent funding news made it the most obvious example since people are concerned.

Collective action problems are an awful mess. By the time it's clear to everyone that a problem exists, few individuals can get results in return for impoverishing and isolating themselves by taking a stand. The few who can are so depe

Anyone can make software with unlimited VC funds and few, if any, requirements and expectations. Not everyone can make software for over 300 million people in a centuries-old bureaucracy.

Zoho appears to have funded it along with a few other companies. Unfortunately, the Indian news page that reported on the launch is even worse than news sites in the US with popups, pop-ins, pop-overs, pop-rocks, etc, so I can't in goo

Steal GitLab's business model and let people/companies self-host their own Zoho.

I don't know, I'm not an email geek. Lots of smart people run their own email systems and report good delivery rates going by past threads here. Maybe they can work together on something more accessible.

A whole lot of people are learning about the hazards of centralization in email lately. First Google turns GMail into a slow-loading nightmare for weaker computers like mine, then they announced the closure of Inbox. Now 40 million people a

Optical sensors don't have anywhere near the dynamic range of a retina. I think poor low light performance has been implicated in at least one self-driving crash. Eyes can at least render objects and shapes in extreme low light even if

Is a car still a car if it's taken out of context? To us, yes. To an AI, it might not matter. A space collision avoidance AI that identifies a road vehicle as a road vehicle and expects it to behave as one normally behaves would create

The fact that almost everyone uses the same style and standards through the go tools has made learning easy. I can dip into the most advanced package and make sense of what's going on quickly.

Government is going to target journalists regardless of the ethics and legality of it. Joining a profession with less access to vital government secrets and more scrutiny by government than any other seems like an odd choice for a spy.

They say what the app does five paragraphs in: >> "The app, intended to be a kind of social network to spark political activity," Most of the big change in politics in the last decade has come from apps that make it easier

I'm more curious about the status quo before the rules. They might have been put in place due to abuses in the absence of clear policy. The government shouldn't target journalists at all , but it will, and clear policy may rein i
