>It’s like the aesthetics of a pickup truck is offensive to some people. I got a rental car recently and they gave me a bright red pickup because it was the fastest option. I was surprised by the good vibes I got from all the other picku

Oh, OK -- right hERG inhibition liability is a candidate killer. It's just since the topic was gene editing, I thought someone had experimented with editing hERG somehow which had me really confused.

If we paid scientists even half what engineers building ads at FAANG make, we might get our wish here. I was once jokingly told by a mentor that if I got too hungry as a research assistant that I should eat some of our lab rodents :) Yeah,

I'm just so tired about people like PG and Scott Aaronson (who I otherwise respect) talking about nerds all the time. Why is everything framed in this black-and-white nerds vs. the world narrative? I'm just going to accept that th

Probably price as a barrier. Or the background knowledge to know which providers are reliable, etc. You could imagine the pricing being inaccessible to certain markets (where currency is really weak, say Venezuela), whereas Google Maps is f

Nano moves counter to BTC every time the general public suddenly cares about energy efficiency. If it wasn't for the Bitgrail meltdown of 2018, Nano would be a top 3 cryptocurrency contender. But alas, that fate is doubtful given that

TikTok reminds me of mid-2000s Internet vibes. But also, that could be because the algorithm is really good at showing me what I want... and I don't even have an account.

Yeah, I agree. The new logo is fine and the logic behind it seems pretty solid. But the new font is... idk, it's just 'off'.

Beaming ads onto mobile or mobile-like devices is an inevitable trend we're going to see over the next decade. For example, most TV watchers actually attend to their phone over the TV. How long will it be before Galaxy phones start bea

I once met Jim Karol who uses recursive associative mnemonics to form a n-dimensional associative memory matrix. Most people have a 1-D or 2-D associative matrix, but Jim Karol can basically store associative memory with log(n) associativ

Have you considered partnering with programs like QuestBridge? Their scholarship changed my life. They also offered a junior-year mentorship program with a college admissions newsletter and a complimentary essay-review. I think there's

Kinda crazy. Most DarkWeb 'hitman' sites were just FBI honeypots or good samaritans reporting sketchy individuals to the FBI. I doubt this guy found the services through the 'dark web' or even the Internet. Probably met

Fields where tech is the limit are fields that don't care about tech. As result, working as a software or tech IC in these fields is a grind. Never again -- no thanks! Like, I've heard senior leadership at a 'computation-focu

Wow, yeah. Reddit killed the forum. Google and silo'd social media (FB, TikTom) are eating everything else. I just realized that I barely recognize the modern net vs. the one I grew up with.

I hope it doesn't disrupt the Gates Foundation. I know there's people there doing really impactful research with good progress. It would be a shame for those labs to wind down due to Bill and Melinda's split. Similarly, I was
