I suppose I just disagree that someone from a less affluent or privileged than me with got a 1400 SAT is less qualified than me (1510) simply because one number is larger than the …

Alright, I’m going to try to weigh in on this subject in good faith. Wish me luck! I grew up in suburban Pittsburgh and attended a very good public school. I had friends who lived …

Polymarket is based in NYC, in Soho, on Crosby Street. Knock yourself out if you want to go find anyone there.

I have a lot of deep ambivalence here. On one hand, I would rather Americans be safe. I don't want anyone in harm's way; if I absolutely had to choose, I'd rather we have superiori…

Do you think there is an acceptable third option between "the globalists winning" and "it is OK for a single media outlet to wage a war on the grieving parents of the victims of a …

I agree with this, but it's also true that Tesler was a difficult, argumentative blocker and dinosaur at Yahoo! in the mid-2000s. The upper management there blew such massive oppor…

Simple, functional design. Obviously not...quite the intended use of the HTML table elements, but ah well, that era was fun. Tables and image maps and transparent GIFs!

People are INSANELY sleeping on Hypercard.

It was Andreas Ess for me. PlaneJump. That opened my eyes to the world of Assembly, which in turn turned me on to the demoscene, and off I went into a truly magical subculture!

There was a great Money Stuff blurb about that w/r/t Adam Neumann. I can't find it to quote it directly, but the gist was that if you disabuse yourself of the notion that Neumann w…

Pathetic. Everyone in this story is pathetic. Trump, Milton, all of them.

Yeah, two easy fixes here: don't make the sidebar jump back to the top after loading a message, and sort by date. Otherwise I appreciate the view into this heartless sociopath's mi…

There’s two different things to argue here. First, yes, you’re right. Second, they raised a shit ton of money under the bull case of mass consumer adoption, which is going to be im…

Interesting that this author was out ahead of this theme a full twelve years ago. Kudos. It's not all that complex though, really. Just a bunch of adult children who were bullied m…

Coming soon: What LinkedIn being down taught me about SaaS sales.

You're right. I guess that means we should deny them any due process, target them (and anyone who looks like them, even vaguely) indiscriminately, and murder anyone who deigns to g…

There's a lot of really interesting stories about the Eastern Bloc defections into the NHL in the late 1980s. IIRC, Alexander Mogilny, who was the best prospect in the world at the…

They won't collapse, but they won't reach their full potential. I would hate to be a16z sitting on their $10B post-money valuation Kalshi bags, that's for sure.

Insider trading is a feature, not a bug, say Shayne and Tarek, stupidly. You can't have this amount of obvious manipulation and expect the average retail consumer to join. Same rea…

The short, uncouth but Occam’s Razor answer is because Putin has a micropenis and/or his parents were incredibly abusive towards him.

For the international audience, Mt. Rushmore is a landmark in the US that features the faces of four great Presidents carved into a giant stone edifice. It's a little ridiculous, b…

Oh man. Yeah, Sega Channel was amazing. It's true that it came pretty late in the Genesis' life and by that time, Sega was prioritizing Saturn but man, I loved SC and looked forwar…

Ross Douthat makes me (figuratively) vomit every time I read his nonsensical garbage.

RCT2 is my favorite game of all-time, bar none. It is an absolute joy to play (via OpenRCT2, it should be said) all of these years later. It's a masterpiece and Chris Sawyer is a g…
