In that case I think Reticulum would be the better use case as it's encrypted from the start. https://reticulum.network/manual/whatis.html Reticulum is an open-source, cryptography…

While you're correct, my freakout lies in the fact that microplastics have been found to bypass the blood brain barrier... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03453-1

Somewhat related (submarine war movie), is Crimson Tide with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. I can't vouch for the military accuracy, but can say that the drama and intensity i…

I take your point, but in fact there are multiple ways one can contract HIV that does not include engaging in intimate and amorous endeavors. While copulation is the #1 form of tra…

Read the short story just a few weeks ago. It's still one of my favorite. So beautiful, so haunting.

Kinda weird about atlas obscura articles every since it was discovered several articles have been faked. Granted all those articles were from one author, but I still remain a bit s…

Interesting, this is the organization I was referring to: https://wrightfoundation.org/ But I wonder if the two are related? https://wrightgrad.edu/

I wish this article covered the more nefarious side of these organizations and "Coaches". Broken families, ruined relationships etc... Here's the quick and dirty of my brother. Ful…

Bob Iger?

I have read three of his books so far - Snow crash, Cryptonomincon, and Seveneves. By far his most fully formed and epic book for me has been Seveneves. It is hardcore Sci-Fi at an…

FWIW I've had a lot of success with this neat little device: https://getbrick.app/ $40 and no subscription. No affiliation with the founders (who I believe have bootstrapped their …

Mostly in their management philosophy. My dad typically believes in working smarter not harder and my FIL will do basically anything he can to save a dollar including doing most th…

After working at various start-ups and Fortune 200 companies as a Product Manager, I am now working at my families niche consulting company. The twist is my wife is also helping ru…

I feel like most watch folks have at least 1 Seiko in their watch case at least once in their collecting journey. Fantastic watches, enjoy!

Steve Aoki comes to mind as an example. His family founded the food chain Benihana.

I dont have data to support this, but I can't help but feel that increasingly America has a habit of "pendulum" swinging around societal issues. That is, we severely overcorrect (o…

Since my little island is hardly if ever mentioned in these parts I thought i'd throw out a few interesting tidbits. 1. It has three bioluminescent bays : https://www.discoverpuert…

My family is from there (I was born there) and my parents just installed a solar roof and panels, I can't remember the metrics (sorry) but the house was consuming .5 of the energy …

Case in point: Hertz paid Accenture 32 million dollars for a website design that, wait for it, NEVER WENT PUBLIC. https://thehustle.co/hertz-accenture-consulting-website-laws...

I kinda chcuckle a little reading this knowing without a doubt, someone's job at these clandestine operations is sliding into someone's DMs, hoping for a bite.

Hi there, you're kind of me but in reverse. Raised Christian, initially very socially awkward as a kid and even in high school, it wasnt until my junior year in college that i real…

Lately HN feels more like a bunch of lawyers quibbling over semantics... It gets really old, really fast. Whatever happened to assume positive intent?

Highly likely I'm misremembering, but a decade (at least) or so, there was an iTunes promo where Itunes literally pushed a free U2 album to everyone who had an iTunes account for f…

Dark City and The Thirteenth Floor are a few of my top sci-fi movies of all time. Both have themes that echo the Matrix, but done in a much more subtle and thought provoking way IM…

I will say, having worked at Capital one in the past, that it is the outlier here. They have a really strong tech focused culture and from my experience, rarely outsource their tec…
