How cool is it that 2 years ago, the “future of tech” was selling jpegs for hundreds of thousands of dollars to degens And now the future of tech is hooking an entire fission reactor up to billions of dollars worth of GPUs

Teaching is so great for sneakily learning all the stuff you didn't quite understand the first go-round

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls Israel's explosive pager operation "terrorism" in an interview with CBS today: "I don't think there's any question it's a form of terrorism." "When you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: what the

Sharing a blog post on how antitrust law highlights the contradictions in the "gig economy" (mis)classification model.

Maybe check before accusing someone of anti-semitism, idk
