Given the sheer number of “universities” that have sprung up, in practical terms he is almost certainly right.

This reminds me of another blog I enjoyed -- there's a link shortener called https://y.gy, and .gy is the Guayanese TLD. Venezuela was invading Guyana, so the y.gy owner wrote a whole essay about what it would mean for the .gy domain if Venezuela seizes their physical domain admin infrastructure. Crazy stuff. https://app.y.gy/blog/guyana-war

I was shocked that even with the free tier gone, there's still some level of abuse. Even the paywall doesn't totally cure the problem.

Hilarious read. Wasn’t sure where this was going at first, but the stuff about the ICANN policies and domain continuity were really interesting.

There was a good article from John Loeber a few months back about browser extensions: https://loeber.substack.com/p/9-15-years-of-market-gaps-for-...
He had the same point, where it feels like browser extensions are a big, somehow under-appreciated market. Browsers are huge platforms -- creating add-ons and making them more capable should be a popular, value-generating thing to do! But for a number of (developer) UX/UI issues, that just hasn't been the case. I hope this changes!

The article suggests heavily that, the way things are going, that's not going to be the case in the future. Right now, Europeans are still living off past prosperity, but if they don't build a real technology industry and innovate, then future Europeans will be much worse off.

Yeah that's right. There's a blogger in another post on HN that makes the same point at the very end: https://loeber.substack.com/p/a-timeline-of-the-openai-board

No, you are totally wrong. You should not comment on things that you have no understanding of. A non-resident alien is any person in the US who is not a citizen, green card holder, or passes the substantial presence test. There are millions of non-resident aliens on visas in the US.
