  • I listened to the whole audiobook in a day - one of the best books I've purchased recently. As someone who has been very much into the techno-futurists over the last 15 years, I would suggest this book, along with Manu Saadia's Trekonomics for a much needed reality-check.

  • I wrote a comment explaining Tariffs on a Fox News YouTube video a few weeks back, and the entire reply chain was people arguing with eachother about how tariffs work because "Trump said it's a tax on other countries, so that's how they work"

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books

    Jump

  • Appreciate it! The last audiobook I picked up from Libro is Kara Swisher's "Burn Book". Not sure if it's your thing, but was totally worth it for understanding more personal context around the big Tech CEOs from the last 25 years.

  • Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks

    Jump

  • I highly recommend Kara Swisher's recent book "Burn Book" for insights into the Tech lads like Brin, etc, as she's known most of them since the 90s.

    Really helps contextualize the crazy cocktail of engineering/commercial power with general naivety a lot of these guys have going.

  • I would just like to push back and say that the Internet was an open public project, and it has helped countless people across the world. Every single problematic tech that people are pointing to at the moment are closed-source commercial projects.

    That is Capitalism at work.

  • If you're into audiobooks, I strongly recommend libro.fm instead - it's all DRM free downloads, so you never lose access.

  • Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

    Jump

  • Definitely switch to alternatives from Amazon. They treat their authors abhorrently too. I've personally been super happy with libro.fm for Audiobooks (essentially Audible, but you can download the audiobooks DRM-free)

  • Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging

    Jump

  • At least (to my knowledge) the Signal messages are decrypted on the client end, so buying the company doesn't give them automatic access to messages.

    Having said that, I'm sure a hostile new owner could update the app to decrypt and then send the messages as plaintext to the servers if they wanted..

  • As someone who is outside the US, the best I can do is share important information with people inside the US.

    I would be very surprised if any of our US-Allied governments call out Trump. I would be overjoyed, but surprised.
