I'm still more comfortable keeping my code in America.

The real metric should be how good looking they are. That transcends household income, race, and gender. /sarc

Yes! In programming speak, you're talking about levels of abstraction.

Are people still talking about OKRs? Dang that's so '00s

Plenty of nitpicking here, for me this piece was a fun and clever thought-ride.

If a tree is distressed in the forest and there are no insects there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I knew a musician who once clicked on a "ring for customer service" bell at the service counter of a laundromat, and then told the arriving attendant "Your bell is a quarter-tone flat."

For me the real nugget is the first comment:

"Programmers have a pavlovian engineering response. Pose them a problem and they'll start trying to solve it."

What exactly does this mean?

Doesnt work for the map around my home. While the buildings in my neighborhood generate shadows on the map, none of the trees do.

<antennas so big that we cannot even simulate their behavior.>

I really would love another sentence or two on this. I can't immediately think why that would be, e.g. don't Maxwell's equations apply at very large scales? Any ideas?

Musk says "Blindsight is the next @Neuralink product after Telepathy."

Let's see, I think after that, the next product should be Magic Missle. Or maybe Sanctuary?

<Its incredible to me that educated adults are taking long-distance manned space travel seriously>

Comical and Strangelovian perhaps, but also the only hope for humankind. How many years until the expanding sun's corona envelops the earth? Assuming we make it that long without first destroying ourselves or meeting an unfriendly asteroid, you can bet that all of humanity will be behind the effort. So while it's not on this week's scrum board, it's definitely a high-priority TODO.

Does Onedoc retain any visibility into, or in any way use or reserve the right to use any content created using its API in any way? Obviously, calling an API means sending document contents to Onedoc.
