Can you drop some non legal plain language on what you do with data?

Frankly speaking, I 100% would assume you're going to sell my DNA and information to huge body of people.

Thats faster than Google Slides?

"In contrast, infinite games are played for the purpose of continuing to play. You do not “win” infinite games; these are activities like learning, culture, community, or any exploration with no defined set of rules nor any pre-agreed-upon conditions for completion. The point of playing is to bring new players into the game, so they can play too. You never “win”, the play just gets more and more rewarding."

Sounds nice...

thats incredible!

Would this have happened if they hadn't sold to Microsoft?

nothing brings out the haters like a job well done. great project. people will benefit from it.

haha yes, but computer programming was mostly women in the 40s and for a while. i stand by my sarcasm.

cool to think diversity could exist in a tech company...

and yet millions of people have expressed themselves, published information, shared it, and benefitted. so... it works.

the corruption of the net is proportional to the corruption of the tools. a shame really.

CSS is amazing. It's hilarious to watch the twisted ways people will work around it, or spend time making libraries to find solutions to problems that don't exist; without ever even trying to get comfortable with it. Its an amazing and simple piece of technology. Kind of a shame. Id love a real history and critical discussion on the "tools" we have now for web dev.

The concept is not overused. Privilege, and the abuse of it, is _that_ pervasive.

Best video game ever.

Been dead for some time.

That’s a $1500 non interactive single image viewer... why not just mount an iPad Pro?

eye roll

If you haven't read the book, get on it! it's a really easy read and really inspiring. Although it's sad how his obsessions cost him.

She was the guest speaker on Le Show podcast last Sunday. If you enjoy her book or this video, the episode is worth a listen.

Spelled ‘know’ wrong in the subtitle... eye roll

If you really don’t care about right and wrong, you should have just bought followers on eBay and posted 1 photo for 30 days and paid for the likes. You’d be done with 1/10th the work and compared to even a low hourly rate, you’d save money.

That’s so cool!

It’s just to say that wealthy people use their money to create greater distance between themselves and people with less. Re-enforcing the “them” mentality and stigma. Rather than truly integrating into the San Francisco, they’ve planted themselves and created a moat. Google buses would be an example of how a company can add to that. They should have improved public transportation.

Seattle has the 1/3rd largest homeless population and the city wanted a $500 per employee tax from amazon. Amazon said they’d move their business and also haulted construction on new building. 40k employees, that’s 20million a year. They then lobbied and got it repealed after city lowered to $250/employee.

He than turns and donates millions/billions ONCE, but that’s specks of sand compared to what would be generated over time yearly and consistently.

So... no faith in that city either and no faith in tech in general. Super sad.

haha. San Francisco is awful. That title is misleading and uninformed. Grew up there. Got a degree in math and comp sci and returned to work. Lasted a year before being so disgusted by the self quarantining of the rich.

It’s a tech distopia. I’m not even talking about having to step over human feces 3 times per block. I’m talking about the utter lack of ethics and values of the people who have descended like rabid vultures to manipulate the tech utopian thinkers and then run with the money. The damage is done and we’re just now starting to see the impact it’s had on the people that haven’t been taken along for the ride to the top. That place is a lost cause.

I guess it would have been cool to be there during the Alan Kay xerox parc days. Probably intoxicatingly inspiring environment. But now... I hope it burns. I’ll show up to repair and rebuild.

I do enjoy the Marin headlands though. And I suppose I’ll take a Taqueria SF burrito most days of the week. And the punk scene in Berkeley was great, and growing up skating there was awesome, but... meh the bad outweighs the good.

"On board quality - I paid a High School/College kid in Sri Lanka to do the board; I will give him your feedback." the most beautiful thing i'll read today.

“Your so-called ‘memes’”

"You will also need the following Open NSynth Super-specific items" super specific indeed.

If someone is interested in machine learning and music, I'd send them to: http://wekinator.org which is actually a research project rather than a marketing campaign one off, and can be setup, run, and played with in a matter of minutes.

Can someone give an opinion on the results or possible results of this fork?

hahahaha

Yes. You must have the modem on. Before it would fully disable WiFi modem. Now it simply looks to be off. Perception is that it’s not connecting but keeps modem on to keep pinging routers passively. But again, that’s why I would do it if I were Apple. Not sure why they are doing it for sure.

I believe this is also a ploy to keep people pinging wifi routers. Can't say for sure, but that was my gut reaction when I discovered this during beta testing.
