I think the car example that Louis brings up is really interesting, because cars as a product have become better over time at a linear rate. I would bet this is because they combine many technologies into a bundle. While some technology tapers off, like the combustion engine, other technologies come in to keep on improving the car as a whole, like computers and new materials. It's looking pretty obvious that the next technology to get folded into the car is AI, and we're just at the foot of the curve for that.

With the slow decline of sites like Reddit, I'm starting to think that programmatically promoting content is half the solution. Seems like there's a growing number of straight-up curated sites like Medium. I've been experimenting with limiting user posts so that content is just the user's favorite thing from the day. Anyway, interesting post! Not sure I've seen voting algorithms explained so clearly before, the diagrams were definitely helpful.

This is great! My roommate rasterbated a picture of himself and put it in our living room. It looks good but it is nowhere close to your poster. It must have taken ages to cut off all of those edges.

Re: The Perfect Twitter Client: What Apps Are You Tweeting With?

Ian — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:21:53 -0000

DestroyTwitter:
I like the unobtrusive design, the fact that it runs at startup, the name, the customizability, built-in url shortener, pic uploader.

I'd like to see it have multiple account ability though.

Using a client is much more reliable than using the staight-up website, as Twitter is often bogged down (lots of fail whales).

If I had to rebuild society after a nuclear disaster and could only choose ten people, you definitely would have made the cut. Based soley on this post.
