As much as I love Tom Scott and it's a fantastic visual/temporal representation, I doubt a lot of people have the patience.
I like "1 Million seconds is 11 days, 1 Billion seconds is 31 years" as a more succinct example.
One person earning $3600/hr, 24/7, without spending any of it, would take 31 years to become a billionaire.

Fun puzzle game that got ripped off by 2048 and it's endless clones. They wrote a blog post on how shitty mobile game development can be.
Lack of sales IIRC. They're very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of "just another controller". Extremely customizable control schemes too.
Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.
This system hasn't lasted ~90 years because they just throw someone in a chair and let them figure it out on the job.
Any reliable system, electro-mechanical or digital, needs thorough user training and checks.
The worry with this one is it's a single authoritative record with no easy way to backup or replicate it. They say there are non-authoritative (at least legally) digital versions of most(?) of the records. I hope/assume they're actually more consistent with that than the video makes it seem because those are the only feasible off-site backups they really have. If not one fire is all it would take to wipe out an entire countries SSA program.
He bought co-founder status at Paypal too IIRC. He was ousted in part because he wanted to rename it "x.com". Weird that.
The last US Presidential election decided with more than a 10% margin was Regan. The only vote with above a 5% margin this millennium was Obama's first term.
"Anything lower than 10% and it probably doesn't matter much" is a weird take.
That'd be it.
Honestly it's super interesting to watch even if you know the moon landings happened for the history of tech he talks about.
No, they're saying regardless of if the signal was encrypted or whatever format it was in, anyone with a directional antenna could triangulate where the signal was coming from. If there were only a repeater on the moon that NASA was transmitting to that was then sending the signal back, that would also have been able to be determined.
Both the Russians, who had a vested interest in embarrassing the US, and every other amateur and professional radio operator on the planet agreed that the moon landing was being transmitted from the moon.
That's an embargo.
A blockade is military stopping traffic. "Effectively a blockade" is an embargo.
