I guess your right scared might be their natural state and I was wrong to presume a quantifiable fear.

Fortunately my DNS entry starts in 1996 and would be covered by the first clause. BigCos claims would need to predate 1996 for my domain to be seized.

This has been my understanding. I was told by lawyer in in th 90's that it would be described as squatting in court.

or they were scared and figured this was the right time to reveal.

The agents sound like old school hackers that would just explore what access they could gain. Creating a file for other hackers and themselves. The fact that there were 3 events fo…

I can’t get over how the process is exactly what a hacker hive does. Communicate leaving notes in some random file.

The number of artists that succeed is irrelevant to my comment. No one needs to tell me about the life of an Artist or the Art world. My dad was a fine art painter, my mom was a po…

It is suffering and I'm not sure it is worth it. I didn't notice the suffering until the later stage of life.

I found that that stock market is the way to scale income. One can't make big money with just their hands unless they are an artist.

I would say only a few do it and they are self-selected. The ones that do it have a sense of agency that is lacking in the ones that dont do it. Some people never notice their own …

That is the point. They used to hold the user experience in higher regard than their need for a helipad.

I think you are off to a good start. #title:HN00001

Apple's days of simplicity out of the box are over. The simplicity is still in there somewhere. Through a combination of turning off a lot of features in settings and using a few d…

I would say I'm about 90% satisfied. Yesterday I just did a bunch of batch graphic conversations by opening multiple images in Preview. Selecting all the images in the sidebar. I c…

No they would not. This is probably biggest betrayal of Apple users I have experienced. Apple should never confuse their OS's as ad delivery systems.

Probably I used to read his blog.

A read a story of a guy who bumped into him at conference and had some sort of conversation. The following week he received a follow-up from Wolfram's office with his assigned conv…

I like to listen to it. I certainly wouldn’t want to try to read it.

That’s what foundations are for. Transcription used to be a human job just like computers.

I have tried to listen to the whole thing but I have barely made a third through. I used to watch it but n archive.org and the audio wasn’t great. Currently on mobile and the video…

I was a sysadmin through the 90's and my distaste for Microsoft was that it wasn't plug and play and they would distribute software on 35 floppy disks instead of a CD-ROM. Finally …

I have been collecting Autonetics artifacts off ebay for decades. What I find interesting about this time period is that Autonetics made 3 different efforts for digital inertial gu…

The governance of the company is also prone to scamming.

The thing with General Magic is they were Mac team members without a lot of imagination. They thought the next GUI environment had to encompass the real world as the connected worl…

I my younger self had a terrible sleep schedule. I suffered pre-occupied thoughts of either what did or was about to happen. I have a very consistent sleep schedule now and it is a…
