This is so true. I've had some inventive ideas during certain phases of being a hobbyist and very small business owner. Sometimes I'd share them prematurely. Just killed the momentum, and I'd look back and say, "what

This is like technological cannibalism. I stopped posting to my website. Why should it be so much work to stop this theft? Would it be helpful to have geofencing and regulation?

so interesting. I worked for a very small company getting funding by the Medici Fund a while back. First I ever heard of the name. So much intrigue in the past. Guys like Montaigne were said to have "food tasters" to sample the

Great analysis, but I would probably add that most (but not all) of those who end up with the six- and seven- figure salaries are smarter, more well-connected and socially adjusted, optimistic etc. Most _not_ all. And some are just really

why, so they can watch corporate news from earth to get depressed? /s Actually, it's a great question. Even if we have single photon sensitivity detectors, just what kind of power would a laser need? Or would it be some other ar

Well that kind of "news" is persistent and often completely false. Meanwhile churches and mosques and people get destroyed by the "best friend and ally" of the US. It's a coordinated disinformation campaign by the

Sure, Germany has excellent journalism. I visit dw.com often. derspiegel has very in-depth quality journalism too. And many others surely exist, I just don't know about them. 100% agree about the personalization of news topics and st

Yup. Get outside. Screens are increasingly addictive by design. I am going outside now. Enjoy your days. Use the internet and your phone as tools, not separate realities.

I've been watching both the corporate media, and social media, rot completely over the past 30 years. A large part of that was that early adopters tended to be more educated, played nicely, and were not involved in attention-seeking, s

a couple of decades ago there was viral advice going around about "the 1000 hour rule" saying that's how long it would take to master something new. Maybe it's time to refresh that?

oh jeez mossad operatives... that downvote. That is not rational behavior. It is either bots or some flunky following instructions. Infiltration of Silicon Valley is a foregone conclusion. Everyone I know that has cared for and loved th

absolutely right. I am not antisemitic. All my career so many of my bosses and employees and coworkers were jewish. Because it was LA! And that is what really horrifies me. That they will all get impacted by all of this equating of zio

Sure, and that's like asking an AIPAC bribed congress to stop the killing around you-know-who's neighbors. Money talks. But your idea is worth a try. Actually both of those ideas. Thanks. But I'll tell ya- over the past

Yes, and the fact that something like oral hygiene can influence AD would support your thesis. Often an infection in the gums/teeth can result in boils or worse in distant parts of the body. Add a dysfunctional blood brain barrier an

I certainly cannot survive much more of the AI memes generated about our so-called Commander in Chief with a fake bodybuilder mystique... you are absolutely correct, this kind of material is psychologically damaging. And a huge distraction

My weight dropped 10%, and my blood lipids and "bad" cholesterol dropped to levels I hadn't seen in 35 years, after 2 years with creatine. Do not overthink this. Just try it, especially if you are 40+

Read you loud and clear. I enjoyed the crazy adventure that was the early internet. Really truly enjoyed it for over a decade, almost two. It's now gone, FUBAR and loaded with trackers. I usually can't even access an online ne

Oh this is too funny. Yes, silicon idiot, human brains are the result of a million years of evolution. Nobody said they were perfect. For example they make terrible mistakes. Like designing LLMs that "hallucinate" articles lik

I've been buying a "new" used iphone for $100-150 now, every few years, for over a decade. My "new" used Dell laptop I bought a few months ago for $40 which became a linux system in just an hour. All good here.

Nice essay, good analysis of the Machavellian types that thrive around unlimited money, power and bullshit. Would a scene from another Russian novel about playing Russian roulette while partying would fit here? Sure you capture the spirit
