Having a billion dollars means the rules no longer apply to you. That is incompatible with functioning capitalism—incentives are no longer aligned with the rest of humanity—or personal freedom—rules for thee but not for…
“Boars are attacking the town! Kill 200 to thin the herd.” “We tried everything to cure the boars, but we couldn’t. If they go any farther, they’ll infect everything. Kill 200 to stop them from infecting the forest.”…
No one is “valuable.” People just are, whatever they are. And that has to be enough.
They’re already doing it. To anywhere they can be safe.
Texas would need to train its people. And the people would need to be as hungry as the Chinese were, and are to a certain extent. You should read the book the OT is talking about, it shows how the U.S. didn’t stand a…
This is the key passage. That may be true at some point, but it isn't now: > The filing also disputed SpaceX’s argument that it is a “carrier by air transporting mail for or under contract with the United States…
Would you say that about really well-edited scene in a movie, or a photograph that feels perfect, or a joke with perfect delivery? A lot of those things are defined by timing and the space between moments that aren't…
I'd wish a lot of people who make statements like "it just doesn't matter," or "this is meaningless" or "this is stupid," or any statement that terminates without some kind of qualify or scope, perhaps take a moment and…
It’s, hilariously, the opposite: the exposure of this idea makes every other product better and Apple can’t change it (until they do). Product tying is not a thing you can bypass. This is idea is independent of whether…
This is how I now “get” orbital mechanics better than I ever did trying to study it. Play is the best education.
Another razor I’ve used is whether the user has chosen the content or what will appear, when it comes to naming navigational elements. Strawman* example: “My Favorites” when you populated the list vs “Your Favorites.”…
In Safari settings (Settings > Apps > Safari) there’s an option to use “bottom” vs “compact”, which brings back the tab button. Much better interface tradeoffs.
It can be good anyway. It’s a solid movie. If a young person doesn’t like it, that’s fine, but I shit you not, your feelings about that movie are not just nostalgia. It’s executed very well.
I know this sequel doesn’t exist. I know that when I watch it, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After 26 years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.
I think you’re describing the principle/agent problem that people have wrestled with forever. Oppenheimer comes to mind. You make something, but because you don’t own it—others caused and directed the effort—you don’t…
Someone needs to play Metal Gear Solid 2.
They become the “real words” later. This is the way all trust & safety works. It’s an evolution over time. Adding some friction does improve things, but some people will always try to get around the filters. Doesn’t…
Most people are intimidated by airplane cockpits. I think you’re right that specialists in certain situations where they’re familiar have much higher tolerance for visual density because, to them, it isn’t dense, it’s…
The “do your own research” types end up with some of the biggest groupthink I’ve ever seen though.
“Cook chose poorly.” https://www.theverge.com/apple/659296/apple-failed-complianc... I think Cook’s time as CEO will be remembered both by enabling massive scale for the most successful consumer product in history—the…

Wait. Sync is “free” if you want to use some other service other than Obsidian’s. I pay for Obsidian sync partially for slightly more convenience (fewer non-integrated points of failure) and also to support the app…
You’re talking both about tastemakers and the silent majority vs loud minority. I promise it is NOT always a good idea to follow the enthusiasts, because they are not at all like everyone else who uses your thing.…
Hopefully we never get there. But America should suffer no kings.
> This presumes these folks had that part to lose. Based on all available evidence, I don’t believe they had the empathy, compassion, or emotional health in the first place. Even after climbing the mountain, they can’t…
