Hey, think might like this one — it was such a joy to build. Our CTO and myself linked up 1-on-1 in Japan to end the year, and we just wanted to give some fun design and coding in. We were looking for a fun lightweight project to do, and we

Oh man, I'm happy to see this here — I've been slowly working my way through various science and engineering done in the Soviet Union since there was some incredible work done that's very poorly known in the West. Vavilov is

While we're on the topic, Xenophon's "Anabasis" is probably both the greatest military memoir of all-time and the greatest adventure story of all-time. Heck, maybe also a candidate for greatest learning-on-the-job and le

I'm voting you up, but a respectful disagreement... I think that sometimes seeing a person meander through related concepts and take a fresh look at them can be quite valuable; likewise, non-technical language can make things accessibl

I wonder if the causality might run the other way — like, if you imagine a set of "all possible commitment levels of sports fans" you'd have hardcore committed... moderately committed... middle of the road... somewhat fairwea

That's right, yeah. But here's what they're investigating: > ”In this paper, we introduce a concept that might be accurately portrayed as “supply creates its own excess demand”. Namely, a negative supply shock can trigger
