Ruliology is the nerdiest word ever invented, kudos to Stephen Wolfram.

Polarization, reflecting the polarization in economics and politics?

I think that pure white (255) and pure black (0) should be using extremely sparingly. #FFFFFF? Why not #f6f6ef or #eceff4? Lower contrast can improve legibility, too much contrast can hinder it. #000000? Why not #121821, a dark shade of blue? Nothing in real life is perfectly dark.

Thankfully HN has remained pleasingly off-white.

That is a very Russian way of solving the problem.

Everything in economics always boils down to 1. supply and demand and 2. taxation.

One can simply look at historical income taxes in the USA and their progressiveness and conclude that over time taxes tend to regress until some economic calamity or war happens, after which taxes become extremely progressive again for a short while (top income tax rate bracket of 75% to 90%).

See for yourself, it's all there:

Think about the world's poorest man, and how disconnected he is from the rest of humanity. Now think of the world's richest man. They are equally disconnected.

Not to accuse the Germans but politicians rarely protest lobbying when it involves bribes.

Musk's greatest achievements are in the field of financial engineering. I wish he could write a book about it, because it's the only part about his life that's remained invisible.

In the 1900s we called "control over technology" something else, I believe it was "seizing the means of production".

I think it's quite obvious why Lisa Su isn't motivated to financially crush her first cousin once removed. AMD is doing quite well in the CPU space and as such isn't even forced to compete in the GPU space. AMD could take market share from Nvidia, but they don't have to, because there is no one else who would take it either.

Alz is brain inflammatory response to viruses (among other foreing detritus) that got past the blood-brain barrier, so I'm not surprised.

The features on offer here for the price sre surprisingly good from Apple.

The big phone/small phone argument will be silly in a couple of years when we all have folding phones.

That is an ugly hack. We can do much more.

What your thumb can and cannot do is down to the human-computer interface. Shift the active area within thumb reach. Innovate.

I compromised comfort and upgraded to SE after 4’s usability was consumed by unoptimized software updates.

4\S was perfection as far as ergonomics go. Timeless design. The natural 2:1 ratio was ruined in 5 by stretching in the vertical dimension. What they should have done was to expand the screen and have it eat the top bezel. They stopped pushing. Supersizing was the easy road.
