I came across a theory which seems more likely to me: Gruber lost access to Apple execs after he posted the following regarding Tim Cook and other tech CEOs congratulating Trump on…

I think the real issue is knowing that half the boys in your school are masturbating to a picture of you. It's been a long time since I've been in school, but my sense is that half…

You’re like a guy who’s confused why drug addicts don’t just try not taking drugs.

> Maybe try to figure out why you’re feeling hungry. For a lot of people, the reason they feel hungry is because the way their brain works is that they feel better when they feel f…

With all due respect, we have pills for obesity and computers think. If that doesn’t get you excited about the future, nothing will.

FWIW, Google does just answer questions now.

> or even a concept of religion in the original languages IMO this and the sources it cites are wrong. A huge chunk of the Old Testament is about how God had to keep sending prophe…

But Nvidia wasn't able to compete with Apple for capacity on new process nodes with Nintendo volumes (the concept is laughable; compare Apple device unit volumes to game console un…

> several high-margin customers This is the "venture capital and hype" being referred to, not Nvidia themselves.

My sense is that it is an affectation meant to indicate an aspiration to something more than a bar (and its coarse patrons).

I'm sure hiring Jony Ive to design hardware for them didn't help.

FWIW, Mormons and New England Congregationalists are essentially offshoots of the same ethnic group (Puritans), so there may be a genetic confound.

On the other hand, they grew 400% in one year.

It's a really bad analogy. And the "cost" of working part time for someone who doesn't want or need to work is literally every single hour they spend working. If they're working 20…

Optionality has costs. If you live your life like it's going to go astray, then you miss out on a lot of the upside if it doesn't go astray (such as by being a stay at home mom, if…

The English approach here, as with other linguistic matters, is to solve the problem by using more words. "Juan thinks they are going to promote him, but I'm not so sure."

> as HTML5 did for Flash Uh, Flash died because Apple refused to support it on mobile Safari. Perhaps Flash would have died anyway, but that is the proximate cause. And Apple's com…

On the other hand, information flow seems like the hardest problem for any large org to solve. How do you actually know what the ground truth is when you’re the CEO of a company ma…

On the one hand, your politics seem diametrically opposed to RA Fisher’s, so it seems unlikely your username is a tribute, but on the other hand, how many statisticians are named R…

On the other hand, legit players can lobby for their interests, whereas criminal cartels generally can’t.
