Errol claims they sold two emeralds randomly for ~$1000, which was then listed for a 10x markup, certainly a far cry from the "low quality emeralds" Elon stated. So we already see three things here: access to your investment'

He's outstanding because he cannot be honest about the situation. Even his father contradicts Elon's claims. Elon claims he was in 100k debt during schooling, it's revealed he had scholarships and his father paid living expen

Major versions isn't a useless consistent concept because it's the strategy all browser developers use to determine when major features are added (vs bug/security fixes). Which is what Baseline is for, feature adoption. So if

The war on drugs has substantially ruined entire generations by convincing people drug abuse can be solved purely by throwing people in jail and through shame. To think it's taken until ~2021-2022 for a federal administration in the US

Major versions are always the first number before the first decimal point. So Safari 15 and Safari 16. You can check the linked feature set repo linked in the article and see that for the features, they're only checking that first grou

Completely different from my expectations of the title. A nice little book, reminds me of the popular series "Dad, How Do I?" on YouTube (and I'm sure other places) where the creator offers general advice like "How do I

I'm not sure any of this is exclusive to tech and so abandoning tech in hopes of something else isn't going to change much. For instance, you bring up how much of it is about ads and how pervasive they are, this exists outside of

Thank you for linking that! I enjoyed reading the responses and also the Kurt Vonnegut passage linked within, such a great connection to how we think.

Don't even need manic episodes to understand this (and if you went through one I'm terribly sorry, they can be such cruel events people disregard), music is a good example. You can be so profoundly moved by a song in an entirely d

Vercel and Netlify are fantastic options for those exact class of projects. Render as well for the more full stack hack projects.

Right now, but if information becomes a serious obstacle for Google/AI platforms in general, it would easily spend billions to ensure control. It's not as if Google is a stranger to hiring experts to keep them away from other plac

They don't mind the cat and mouse games, as long as they capture some people. Whether this is through showing ads or getting them to subscribe. I believe this has been successful for Twitch, growing revenue despite decrease in concurre

Why wouldn't Google [replace with whoever becomes owner of leading AI platform] just hire experts themselves to generate for LLMs? Seems like the obvious next step. For clarity, I'm not saying I particularly like that future, but

Somewhat, it's only not really an issue currently because most of the top answers aren't great and you want to look for a better overview. You can't currently get the overview from Bing or Google, only whatever sentence they&

Most of that is already on the app store anyways, besides the parts that don't make sense (ie "video fundraisers").

ChatGPT benefits from how abundant languages like Javascript and Python are. When you start diving into the lesser used languages, the struggle becomes real. Even worse if there have been substantial breaking changes in the past ~2 years.

Very true, trends after all come and go. Specifically about this style though, I feel it fits right into the blog series about "domestic cozy"[1]. It aims to be exactly that, imply super casual/low effort tone, make it feel a

"Most" is doing exceptional heavy lifting here, since the verdict (about lootboxes) were absolutely possible on iOS. In fact, there are still plenty of games on iOS that support such lootboxes. This is literally why they created A

Apple has made billions (upwards of $300m in pure profit) from Fortnite. If you care about Epic's shitty qualities in that aspect (the case you're linking), surely you also care about Apple profiting off that exploitation as well?

An android port is within top 3 requests as per Mozilla Connect's Thunderbird section. Makes sense to me to work on such requests when you're operating off donations.

An average of $21 is very impressive considering Thunderbird's position. I believe Wikimedia averages to about $15. Although I suppose its position is probably a large part of the comfort to donate more.

You have to lug around a giant bulky laptop and you can't even call people on it! We're a long way from mobile computing. Anyways, even given current limitations, I'd likely side with the very researchers working on such. The
