Accurately labeling a potentially infinite list is an interesting problem we humans seem to have created for ourselves. In practice Greek letters are much like regular numbering and soon become unintelligible. There’s a reason they still in

My understanding is that many in the Native American community self identify as ‘Indian’. Or have historically, I’m sure the younger generation is moving away from it.

The FT quotes: ‘120,000 a year for bat surveillance’. Seems negligible as an outsider.

I sat at a lunch table with Eric at an Event Apart SF a couple years ago, super friendly guy. Really recommend that conference I had a great time.

I have to tell you as an American and kinda grumpy one at that, if you get a smile and hi on the sidewalk as we pass each other it’s purely out of love for mankind.

CSS actually does have functions. ‘linear-gradient()’ is one that returns a background image. You also have the choice of interacting with your style sheets via the css object model similar to the way you interact with the DOM, this is the

I wonder, how exactly do we determine the ideal amount of biodiversity for the planet / a given region? Outside of ideas like ‘we should not exterminate entire species’ and ‘we should not hunt so much that we ruin hunting grounds for f

It’s mind blowing the author chose to include that phrase given the rest of the article is pretty well written.

I know three people who separately just moved to sac from the east bay. And a couple who are thinking about it... didn’t realize this was a trend. As someone who grew up in Sac, don’t do it guys! It might be a quick drive but it’s a differe

While we do call them crypto currencies I don’t think crypto market is really comparable to the currency market. Maybe more like a precious metals etf or something.

This is exactly the reason the fed is ok with current inflation readings. Huge debt bubble in the American middle and working class, along with a low growth economy. The only way to get rid of the debt currently is to inflate it away.

The last thing you wrote is something I indirectly think about quite a lot. Imagine a place (call it heaven if you want) where time and death don’t exist. What could you possibly care about?

Just want to say as someone who does a lot of hardware techno jamming this was SO FUN.

I think what you are noticing is the ‘fractal’ nature of growth patterns which exists all throughout nature. It’s a fascinating topic that I know almost nothing about. The Wikipedia mentions slime mold though :) https://en.m.wiki

Tell that to all the active managers who bailed last spring instead of holding their tech stocks lol.

Keep in mind that the death rate still has to exist in a given time frame so only can only be extrapolated backwards and has to be recalculated annually. Strikes me as similar to those who predict x% returns on their s&p index funds bas

I became a software engineer because I am a Bay Area native that got priced out of the market by software engineers.

I think the idea is that a lot of these come with publishing contracts built in so the artist receives a royalty if the token changes hands and the current owner has the rights to license the art. For example if I sell you a song as an nft

This reminds me of secretly installing the metal slug emulator on computers when I was in high school so me and my friends could play before band class lol.

Man that clip is so old time hockey I love it. Best part is the ref giving him the attaboy after. I remember thinking that Hasek wearing the cage instead of a modern goalie mask was so cool as a kid.

It seems like your argument is more agains collectibles in general. I also can go online and look at the art for various rare Pokémon cards for example. I think you underestimate the psychological component of ‘ownership’ and the extra sati

I like your analogy but I’m not sure it’s perfect. In the finance world I don’t think anyone would presume to say more work === more success. There is a talent component that is not perfectly replicable across hedge funds. BUT in real life
