All right, when someone will do this for Railroad Tycoon Deluxe, Master of Magic, Master of Orion II, I will have to waste hundreds of hours playing these again... And it will hopefully be much more fun, because the computer "AI" will most likely be stronger / more interesting.
Have a friend lawyer that will send them a proper letter. They will take you seriously that way. And if you live in EU, use GPT... Actually, use Gemini (!) to craft another great response invoking a number of articles etc that they are in violation of.
Thanks for sharing this one, Jeff. I was a big fan of Twilio since launch, and I think I remember that article (I was at AWS back then, in a Tech Evangelist role, so most "new" startups on the block passed in front of me one way or another).
I'm sure there are thousands of stories about Om, and only some of them are here in this thread.
I briefly met him in 2012 or 2013, but didn't really interact with him much. But I kind of liked him a lot, and kept following his writings.
It was one of the most influential civilization in all of recorded history. It's not about glorifying it, or justifying it. I think that a lot of people see it much more "civilized" than many others, before and during it. And perhaps after it too.
Reminds me of the TV Series "The Last of us" [0], which: "... is set decades after the collapse of society caused by a mass fungal infection that transforms its hosts into zombie-like creatures". Of course, minus the zombies.
Quite the opposite. They use proven reactor tech, and they are now going straight to commercial, vs other startups that need to go supercritical first.
> The business is sucker farming: manufacturing a product whose counterparty is a retail customer who does not understand that he is the one being farmed. It could have played by the existing rules. It has decisively chosen not to.
Lovely! Thankfully no one (AFAIK) has done a similar work with Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon Deluxe... Otherwise I would be easily spending tens of hours playing it. One of the games I have loved the most in my life!
I absolutely LOVED learning SQL on PostgreSQL, roughly 26-27 years ago (so, close to the 30 years cited there). I think I still retain at least 70-80% of all the knowledge I built back then, and it is the case probably because the way in which I learned was by DOING.
