Pretty sure he just passed the torch off to someone else (without selling it) because he was tired of it, then continued development shortly aftwards as "ublock origin". uBlock itself (not origin) got sold off the Adblocker Plus and allows some ads.

The second claim comes from something I heard mentioned the other day in relation to a New Yorker article about parents finding out during covid lockdowns that their elementary school kids couldn't read hardly at all. I guess they've changed the teaching styles so kids don't really learn like most millenials did.

FWIW, here's what I was found on Google:

> According to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), 21 percent of adults in the United States (about 43 million) fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category.

This is one of the big tragedies of Ramanujan. We have all these miraculous mathematics from him but we don't really know how he got there. A lot of this stuff we already knew, but he seems to have found it all out independently. No idea how though, all because he was too poor to buy paper. Jeez.

I'm trying to think of where I've seen this in TV and movies. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (IIRC) and there was a TV show where some Asian man had a plasma gun embedded in his wrist or something. Aliens were involved, and their cell phones all had roll up screens.
