I think you care way too much about this topic.

It's almost like having a quasi-public utility instead of just, I don't know, a public utility? is a bad idea!

"I don't fear surveillance because I don't break the law!" is the rallying cry of the current privileged class. Laws change. This was such a weak interview, I recognize this is a c…

USDA says that 13.7% of US households experienced food insecurity in 2024 [0]. Extrapolate that against population and you get 47 million people. [0]: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topi…

2-player games, 60 card decks, all sets are legal, no more than four of any card in each deck.

Yeah, well said. Journalism and news is tough because at its core it's a public good, but all of the usual levers we have in modern society for funding and supporting public goods …

Another day, another Claude outage.

It's also because television producers found alternative revenue streams that allow them to sell the TVs for less while still making more. If you look for a TV without all of the a…

Or next to the TV in the living room and not look conspicuous.

What’s the production mvp app that ai made in 30 minutes then? That was the original question no?

My first real interaction with a computer in any technical way was trying to get Age of Mythology to work after I lost my activation key. I won't say that I miss those experiences,…

Yeah the movie’s got warts but if you allow for some plot holes and accept that young Flynn is completely 2D (maybe a meta joke for Tron? Nah just poor writing) the movie rips.

I think OpenType allows for this! Most font designers don’t take advantage though, since even two variants per glyph means 2x the design work and 2x the file size. It would be cool…

Not just that, universities (especially smaller research universities) love having grad students whose research is paid for. China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil (less so now than in the pa…

I could build the greatest healthcare tool in the world, but if it's not HIPAA compliant then it's worthless in the United States. More than that, if I built it without HIPAA compl…

I think OP's being hyperbolic, but defending an idea that is dangerous at worst and immature at best doesn't do much to forward creativity, entrepreneurship, or engineering. Engine…
