Why do you think that, per the article, one million cattle are wearing these collars?

That he viewed a review on Goodreads as the reviewer’s intellectual property hadn’t occurred to me. I see why, in aggregate, many such opinions become valuable, but the whole is mo…

What expectation of confidentiality are you ascribing to people having posted publicly accessible opinions on the internet? Out of curiosity, is your point about TOS out of concern…

It happens to me often enough. Might be a matter of taste in movies?

Sounds like the article isn’t incorrect? The first two criteria depend on which community is doing the judging. New Yorkers will have à different norm than people from say a quaint…

He did check that out. His test results ruled it out.

Excited to try this. I like the look of that TUI.

“Extremely” is a bit extreme for something that takes 100,000 times longer than a Venmo payment. Or, intercontinentally, a stablecoin transfer

I find this only to be true when used on the same iPhone where NFCTools was used. If you try to have another iPhone detect the badge, it appears not to work - unless you use NFCToo…

New England has no death penalty. California does. What is the crap you are referring to that makes California stink?

Why was the CTO move a mistake? The biggest mistake of your life, at that.

I think you may be overstating how much they're overstating. The bill creates a group of anti-E2E-encryption folks with the power to smack down an online company when it suits them…

Neat! Thank you.

Le sigh. This sort of thing is why I made phitbone.com

SMS was proving to be an anonymity bottleneck, and SMS with physical / non-virtual numbers in particular. So I made a thing. Hope it helps.

If you're doing something shitty with your life, this kind of thinking is a good way to continue doing it well. I doubt that's a good thing, net, unless you really truly don't have…

Cons: If you're an engineer in demand, and your startup exits nicely, your equity is still less than the market rate you would've gotten over the years. Less than your 3rd-best off…
