drifting··on Snapchat: another example of the hubris of privilege and systematic bias in tech
No one knew Google's potential when they were starting, I would argue the same is true for snapchat. Maybe they are nearing their full potential or maybe they're just getting started. Either way, that is big assumption you are making
drifting··on Snapchat: another example of the hubris of privilege and systematic bias in tech
"Evan Spiegel showed his arrogance to the world by turning down the offers..." So because someone will not sell his/her company, that means the person is arrogant. Wow. Speaking of arrogance...
drifting··on Accuracy takes power: a 3GHz quest to build a perfect SNES emulator (2010)
I don't see why it is a bad thing. There are multiple types of emulators out there, which is awesome!!! This way if someone has a low powered computer, he/she can use one of the "less accurate but speedy emulators", but if someone has the compute power OR wants to play a rare game the others can't handle, bsnes to the rescue

drifting··on Hey, White Liberals: Bos. Bombings, Suffering Of White Kids, Erosion of Empathy
As a "white liberal" in Cambridge who was just about to mail in my property taxes, I just ripped up my contribution to the Cambridge Scholarship Fund [which by far helps non-white kids go to college]. Instead I'll donate my money to "white" victims of the bombs. Well played!

I do much the same, rock on man!
