those random players have gaming pcs

if you sampled 100 blackberry customers at random, they'd absolutely hate a software keyboard

and so on

what the "tfa" doesn't say is that geohot writes like how most people talk. you're framing the observation you don't like around a single word and ignoring everything else.

that's an inaccurate characterization on #1. he's not saying ai risk is _all_ hype to boost valuations, but that it's misused to serve purposes other than warning.

yes. i am more perceptive of bad art vs bad code. seeing so much bad generated art...everywhere...makes me wonder how much bad code is being put out there. art isn't load-bearing, but code can be.

we are talking about a lightweight charging cable. you can carry more than one. boom, redundancy. being ideological about a cable connector is the nerdy equivalent of jony ive obsessing over macbook thinness.

inexpensive creation and maintenance without having to exploit end users is innovative to me.

i once made the mistake of raising venture capital to help kids. yes, i was twenty something and full of joy. i died a little when an investor told me i was an idiot for not using exploitive growth tactics to addict kids and spam their families. i wish i hadn't needed their money to pursue those ambitious ideas.

can you share how much something like this costs to create and maintain?

my kid has 50+ hours in sid meier's pirates and told me they stare at the world map in their classroom and try to locate towns and ports in the caribbean when they're bored. i will show your game to them, though i am certain the first thing they will ask for is chain shot.

because nas hardware and software suck and everything else was a poorly executed subscription product...i think one was called helm, another was by early twitter alumni. imagine a home device that manages and maintains itself and is a joy to interact with.

it used to coalesce into organized religion and its local institutions. what's new is that those sources of meaning and connection were not explicitly commercial ventures.

i first played 2000 when it was bundled with my family's windows 95 pc, and was sad to learn that gog/steam sell the inferior dos variant. but, yes, 2000 was just right.
