If you're looking for something non-dsytopian, John Carmack had a recommendation recently https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1757428929088872801

> Just finished Theft of Fire by @Devon_Eriksen_, and it was a great read — hard SF by a retired engineer. If his About page resonates at all, you will probably enjoy it: https://devoneriksen.com/about

So what's the good VPN?

How do these hosting providers sleep?

It would be instructive to know what percentage are returning them or at least have some basis for comparision to other first gen Apple products.

Step 1. A company lays off employees and shares the list.

Step 2. The list is shared on social media.

Step 3. A former employee that's on that list sues the company.

Do you, and those you know, see smartphones in dreams anywhere close to congruent with how much they are featured in your daily life?

It would be instructive to know what percentage are returning them or at least have some basis for comparision to other first gen Apple products.

Each one has a title like "Starter Not a Finisher", "Frequently Change My Mind", "Always Wonder Why", "Easily Offended", "Art Isn't My Thing", "Unstoppable", "Make Friends Everywhere", "Good Enough", "Not My Job", "Tend to Feel Sad", "Volunteering", "Believe the Best of People", "Hard to Start a New Task", "Loves the Social Scene", "Chats in Elevators", "Natural Leader", "Sometimes Thoughtless"

How do you know it's late stage capitalism?

But without the complexity that layers of abstraction create, Snapchat would only have 1 person working on buttons instead of 400.

Swole neck.

Apple Vision Pro, the cure for tech neck.

You learn how to avoid that after it happens a couple times.

How about for non-luddites?

> Though intended to be reused many times, the report says 90% of the new reusable bags are used a mere two or three times. So they are piling up in landfills and homes. Think of your own behavior in misplacing bags around the house or forgetting to bring them when heading out for groceries.

I have a hard time believing it's 90%. Seriously?

They aren't that cheap and it's easy to keep track of them.

What's a good alternative for generating a logo with similar tools to this?

It's too complicated to be articulated in soundbites, which is what dominates the discourse.

Or an intentional marketing tactic to make it seem more powerful.

Redacted = dangerous

Good work! What kind of traction are you getting on the premium version? That approach is sensible given the underlying costs. Would love to get an idea of how it worked out in practice.

The love for tailwind might be explained as mass psychosis.

It's like the coding version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_mania

Whether this is bad or good or should be banned or not is functionally irrelevant. There is nothing that can be done short of terminating the global internet. Sure you could ban it in the US and Europe, but you can't in China, et al. You can't ban it everywhere. You can't ban open source.

Art has been democratized. It's not going back in the bottle. A kid with a laptop anywhere on the planet will be able to compete with the largest Hollywood studio in the near future.

It's not simple since you can't ban it everywhere. China, India, et al.

You can't ban it for open source either.

Consensus review is on the way out. I don't know what replaces it, perhaps a Github-like system? Whatever it is, hopefully it includes a focus on replication.

It works surprisingly well most of the time.

There is an extremely annoying bug though where sometimes a random tweet will just disappear from the timeline. You'll get a brief glimpse and it suddenly disappears. And you may or may not come across it later. As though it jumped further down the line.

Anyone else notice that? What in the world might be happening there? This has been an issue for at least a couple years now.

> Take their fucking money, build a big emergency fund, save, invest, and focus on the rest of your life outside of work.

That will lead you back to the same place when the fund runs out.

Invest in yourself instead of Google. Especially as a SWE. It's never been easier to start your own company.

What's "late-stage capitalism"?

Why do you say Bitcoin is a scam?

It rather seems like the opposite; an altruistic gift to humanity. An anonymous programmer produced a decentralized currency that solved the double spend problem and didn't even sell his coins.

You're right, it's awkward and takes you out of the story. They could have just said athletes.

Open source patents, like Tesla does.

Harvard has $50 billion dollars and only accepts about 2,000 students/yr.
