This is actually one of the key points Yuval Noah Harari made in his landmark book 'Sapiens' (a must-read, probably the book I've recommended more than any other)

Without tectonics, is terraforming Mars even possible as a long term solution? This "Mars colonization" strategy seems like a pipe dream, no?

Hilarious what they're turning into, compared to their founding principles.

"technically doing nothing" what a terrible comment.

This is interesting. He’s doing this entirely by choice? You don’t have a problem with it?

Yes, it's a way of excusing lifestyles of luxury via immoral causes. The modern equivalent of paying indulgences to the Catholic Church; the wealthly have always sought ways of jus…

Well that's one way to get (a very specific type of) people back in the movie theaters!

I wanted something more advanced than Pocket, which integrated with my Obsidian vault and had better highlighting features and voice, so it was a choice between Matter and Readwise…

As someone who pays a yearly subscription for Readwise, I have a hard justifying that price when Omnivore excels at that core functionality entirely for free. Matter is another pai…

Raindrop is primarily for saving and archiving links and websites, Omnivore is primarily for reading .

Gonna go ahead and say the last place any tourist should go is North Sentinel Island.

As someone who switch from Android to iPhone just a few years ago, it's insane how quickly I got engulfed in the ecosystem and now have Apple everything in my house. At this point,…

Ty still makes Beanie Babies.

iSight was the name they used for their webcam a decade ago, and when was the last time they used the ‘iDevice’ naming convention? Seems they’ve been getting away from that for a l…

Perhaps, but my sense is you can hot swap the battery while using the device, instantly getting back to 100% charge. Inelegant, but solves the battery problem.

I feel like announcing/releasing Logic Pro X for iPad just prior to the Apple Vision announcement was not a coincidence.

Did you miss the massive Final Cut Pro project window in VR, or does that not count?

I do have to say, since I’ve been to macOS Ventura, and having to deal with the new Settings UI, I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how to find sleep settings. I have to …

I appreciate USB-C, but at the cost of no wireless charging? No thanks. Amazing how they never release a product that ‘has it all’. They always leave something out, I assume in ord…
