It's really apples and hamburgers. Hong Kong is being controlled by a brutal dictatorship which killed 30 million of it's own people over the past century. Catalonia is the rich pa…

I live in Türkiye. You're just entitled westerners with 2 steaks complaining you don't have a potatoe.

Did you really just compare Catalonia: A bunch of rich, entitled Spanish brexiter equivalents to Kurds who are being slaughtered by ISIS, Assad, Russia, and Türkiye? Really???? I s…

Looking at my records, around February 1994 was when I hit $100k, and I'm really a medicore engineer. This formulaic post is just sad. It's almost as bad as reading Oleg's posts on…

Why does anybody still use Chrome? Really, Google is a criminal data theft organization. Why not just take all of your browsing data and publish it online, skip the middle man?

In parallel, how about hiring an army of nerds to defeat meddling in the election both by foreign agents, and by agents hired by domestic politicians. Social media and hackers have…

Palantir called me yesterday for a pretty senior position. I politely told them that they would need to pay me $500k just to talk to them, and they said they could probably make a …

OKCupid held onto their integrity as long as they could. After the HotOrNot-derived dating apps popped up, and the Match purchase, they definitely lost their way. If I had to date …

OKCupid and Tinder, I think, are the only honest dating sites, and they've gotten far less so the past few years.

A decade or so ago I worked at AdultFriendFinder.com, then the largest dating site. We had 20 or so different properties, covering every niche from "jewishfriendfinder" to "alt.com…
