The last two thousand, not the next two thousand

Y'know, I'm totally happy for people to (very, very clearly) use my series "[Extropia's Children](https://aiascendant.com/p/extropias-children)" as a basis for their own work - which has been happening a lot lately - but some kind of citation would have been nice. Sheesh.

...Clarke's novel is the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth Google result, _and_ the sidebar, when one (incognito-)searches "Piranesi".

I'm reading _Divine Invasions: A Life Of Philip K. Dick_ and just got to the point where he sold his first short story. He was paid $75 for it, at a time when the mortgage on his (old, small, but still) two-story Berkeley house was $27.50. This was 1950.

it's remarkable to me that one can write an entire essay about Piranesi without even mentioning Susanna Clarke's great novel PIRANESI, a pretty significant instance of his cultural influence!

How rationalism, cryptocurrencies, effective altruism, and modern AI philosophy/doom were all birthed from an obscure 90s mailing list.

HappyFunCorp | Software Engineers | Remote | Full-time or freelance | https://happyfuncorp.com

We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior and versatile engineers who are comfortable doing architecture / technical oversight / big-picture solution development in collaboration with clients. Much of our work these days is in JavaScript (especially React/Next) but we're pretty polyglot.

We're very comfortable with non-traditional employment configurations. Are you an entrepreneur who wants to allocate 50% of your time to your own startup; a tinkerer who spends 1-2 days/week on side projects; or a traveler who seeks to work full-time for six months, travel the world for a bit, then return and repeat? We explicitly support and approve of all those things, no awkward explanations or uncomfortable compromises required. If you're good enough to context switch like that successfully, HFC is the place for you.

We do web and app (and occasionally blockchain) development for clients ranging from startups to the Fortune 500. We've shipped hundreds of projects, have won various awards including "App of the Year" from Apple, and are currently probably best-known for having built Bookshop.org.

We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior Node engineers and mobile developers with React Native experience. We work on a wide variety of projects with a whole panoply of technologies, so we prefer generalists with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt -- but there are always exceptions.
