It's very nice to have written for so long... I often think I should write more for myself than for others.

Did you read the comment you're replying to? It's talking about the DEI selection process being blind and instead focusing on outreach to get a more diverse input. You wouldn't be denied anything due to your sex under a syste

Have you ever lived with or helped a person with AD? It's not cellular senescence. What you're talking about is fine and well, but AD is a devastating disease that has very particular symptoms. We may not know all of the causes, b

Right... I think it's going to be way more than just data as well. You can expect all gov functions will start to show up in his app. Driver license applications, tax filing, etc...

My prediction is that any future data that is published will likely show up in the x.com app. I believe they are trying to privatize all government functions and Musk wants X to be the official government super-app similar to China's s

Historically, those who controlled the media controlled the message. If you're the only one with a printing press, you control what people read. Same with radio. Same with TV. But what happens when everyone can put their message in

yeah I looked at that too... and that aspect is useful. However, I'm not really looking for a layer on top of ledger as much as I'm looking for a configurable web-scraping system (using the local password manager) that can be run

This one coins many new phrases that will stick in my mind. Phrases like "Big teddy bears" are actually useful in that they roll up a subtle or complex idea into a pattern that we can then talk about. Similar thing happened with t

The action isn't between political parties, it's the factions within the party. It's structured differently than the US so it looks strange that it's one party in power all the time, but there is plenty of push/pull

There are a lot of doubters in the threads here and I think a lot of it has to do with the generative art that accompanies the article. They haven't picked a technology and it may actually end up being driverless cars on dedicated lane
