  • I try my best to do this, and find lots of great new music.

    I still find a lot of new popular music just doesn’t do it for me, and I think it’s because as you’ve heard more music, the it’s harder to find something that sounds fresh.

    When I was in the peak of that chart I was really into stuff like Spacehog, who seemed really cool to me at the time, but probably would have sounded a bit derivative to my parents. At the same time my dad loved Smashing Pumpkins enough to buy all their albums…





  • I thought it was just an overdramatic way of saying that it’s difficult to change the tax rate, but:

    But a compromise has surfaced: the government is now floating the idea of reducing the tax on food to 1%, which could be done in five or six months.

    How could you possibly build something this stupid? Maybe we’ll just store the tax rate, as a percentage, minus 1, in 4 bits.

    I guess realistically it’s probably something about creating multiple transactions and having one of them be invalid, but wouldn’t that also break when the tax gets rounded to zero?

    We might never reach singularity. I think our universe is a simulation built to study how it happened in base reality - or what kinds of singularities aliens build. The event itself is probably too expensive to render. Our universe will cut to black.

    I feel a little bad dunking on a random guy, but this is very stupid
