I mean, I'll give you that, I did chuckle. Frankly, this whole thing is a huge debacle and I can only imagine the context switch penalty being paid going from cars, to ISP, to rockets to Twitter. That said, I personally am astounded by

I definitely agree. I do think the major issue at Twitter is more managerial than engineering though. They likely could have run Twitter at the same output with the current team. The problem is a CEO who is learning on the job by altering b

I no next to nothing about mobile games so I'm now curious. Is there a counter example you can provide where top tier IP was unsuccessful because the app/game/experience was so bad? I see a lot of this on reddit usually aroun

Speaking for myself, on the merits, Google's position makes more sense. On an emotional level, I dislike media news companies companies more than I dislike Google...which is a lot.

I wish the US government wasn't the worst steward of capital on the planet. If objectives actually mattered instead of a combo of jobs programs and bribery/influence laundering so much could get done. Im all for science funding bu

Yeah, I hate Amazon but I do think personal responsibility is really lacking. FTC should focus on making cancellations easier and mandatory. I am evaluating privacy.com because of some bad experiences with this factor. Privacy.com uses Plai

The EU braintrust brought us stupid cookie banners and now Italy and presumably other countries are trying to ban AI. So specifically, I think a stronger message is sent by moving away from google then rent seeking fines on the per country

Yeah, I am a long time Google hater but I still think there are a host of other rent seekers. These Newspapers are getting free distribution and can easily use robots.txt if they want to stop Google. Similarly, I can't help but feel li

This is an interesting point. I use free Apollo, and realized when I tried to post, that its a paid feature. So you have to figure that all the revenue is largely from contributing users and the dynamics on social media go something like 5-

John Conway's game of culture? How long until the AI chatbots develop meaningful cultural progress? I jest, but its sort of an interesting idea. I think AI is way too nascent to really have this as anything more than a weird playground

I have seen a lot of "wow, Reddit is over" comments here and on reddit. There will absolutely not be any meaningful exodus from Reddit. Unfortunately, we as a society are pretty bad at organizing and of course prone to overestimat

Man, Netflix is really going down hill. I get that the entire landscape has changed but they dont seem to be innovating. Why not try to give small budgets to UCLA students or something like that. Prefect the dubbing of all their content to

I buy them at Marshalls and TJ Max and if you notice, a lot of the socks are mixed pairs. 6 pairs but each pair has a different logo on it. There are only a few that are all the same in a single pack.
