  You mean Stephen Hawking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Blockchain is just a ledger. Most systems don’t need a ledger, they need a database. It was a solution looking for a problem in most cases and the marketing/business types don’t listen to the engineers if the engineers are even in the room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the things I’ve always remembered about Decent was when you put in cheat codes it would play a little sound effect of someone saying “cheater…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tired of hearing about “The offshore team”⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The company I work at is considering moving some/all of the “not business differentiating” work (aka boring or terrible yet still critical work) to teams in India. I agree with roughly colocating teams (by time zone. Working 12 hours apart from half your team isn’t practical). I disagree with the Indian teams taking all the bad/boring work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, what about your liver? Have you asked how it feels today?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speculation Swirls About What Hit Trump. An Analysis Suggests It was a Bullet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My personal conspiracy theory is that he wasn’t hit by anything but instead a secret service agent accidentally hurt his ear when they piled on top of him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You might want to consider a more thorough wiping of your area code next time. It’s pretty easy to figure out what it is through the scribbles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hiiiiiii!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I always interpret it as “I NEED”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coconuts 🥥⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If they came from Asia to the Caribbean via the Pacific, how did they traverse North America? If they came via the Atlantic, how did they traverse Europe, the Mediterranean, or Africa?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did a movie misrepresent the country or city you live in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Stargate SG-1 portraying Colorado Springs as though it’s flat terrain with no mountains in the background

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How reliable are EV chargers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I installed one in my garage a bit over 5 years ago and have never had a problem with it. My parents also installed one in their garage several years before that. They did have an issue with it at first but I think they replaced it with a newer version of the charger (same version I have) and haven’t had any issues since then.
