This is actually one of the key points Yuval Noah Harari made in his landmark book 'Sapiens' (a must-read, probably the book I've recommended more than any other)

Without tectonics, is terraforming Mars even possible as a long term solution? This "Mars colonization" strategy seems like a pipe dream, no?

Hilarious what they're turning into, compared to their founding principles.

"technically doing nothing" what a terrible comment.

This is interesting. He’s doing this entirely by choice? You don’t have a problem with it?

Yes, it's a way of excusing lifestyles of luxury via immoral causes. The modern equivalent of paying indulgences to the Catholic Church; the wealthly have always sought ways of justifying the grotesqueries of their lifestyles. Indeed f

Well that's one way to get (a very specific type of) people back in the movie theaters!

I wanted something more advanced than Pocket, which integrated with my Obsidian vault and had better highlighting features and voice, so it was a choice between Matter and Readwise Reader. I went with Readwise because they were a bootstrapp

As someone who pays a yearly subscription for Readwise, I have a hard justifying that price when Omnivore excels at that core functionality entirely for free. Matter is another paid read-it-later app who's lunch Omnivore is eating, tho

Raindrop is primarily for saving and archiving links and websites, Omnivore is primarily for reading .

I dunno, a 1956 Fender Stratocaster, maybe? Something you can actually do something with?

I'm in a similar boat. I'm a marketing guy, and have started to regret my career path. I've made it to several final rounds in the past year, but only wound up with rejection at the end—at the final stages, it can be real sub

You're playing Stardew Valley IRL. Fantastic.

Thank you. I turned 40 this weekend, and have spent the last few months if not years wondering who the hell I am, and thinking about all the cool projects, startups, languages and learnings I'd love to explore. However, I also have a 3

As someone who switch from Android to iPhone just a few years ago, it's insane how quickly I got engulfed in the ecosystem and now have Apple everything in my house. At this point, I don't even know how I'd switch back to A

iSight was the name they used for their webcam a decade ago, and when was the last time they used the ‘iDevice’ naming convention? Seems they’ve been getting away from that for a long time.

Perhaps, but my sense is you can hot swap the battery while using the device, instantly getting back to 100% charge. Inelegant, but solves the battery problem.

I feel like announcing/releasing Logic Pro X for iPad just prior to the Apple Vision announcement was not a coincidence.

Did you miss the massive Final Cut Pro project window in VR, or does that not count?

I do have to say, since I’ve been to macOS Ventura, and having to deal with the new Settings UI, I cannot for the life of me remember exactly how to find sleep settings. I have to desperately hunt for it every time. Is it under battery? Is

I appreciate USB-C, but at the cost of no wireless charging? No thanks. Amazing how they never release a product that ‘has it all’. They always leave something out, I assume in order to entice future upgrades.

It’s definitely an age thing. I’m a little bit younger than you, so Ocarina hit when I was 15. I mean, is there a more perfect age for a game like that to land? I was fortunately able to takeoff my nostalgia glasses for Breath of the Wild,

Again, ‘as a kid’ is what’s going on here. I also grew up with OoT, absolutely obsessed and life-defining in many ways. Now I’m a certified Old, and while BotW didn’t click for me initially, I grew to love it and soon understood it to be on

If they’re able to produce twice the work in half the time, wouldn’t it make sense to pay them less?

I always think back to those space age cartoons from the 1950s, with a man sitting back in his lawn chair reading the paper while a giant robot trims the hedges. The promise: “The machines work, so we’re don’t have to!”
