Were celebrated, we capture a lot of wealth and attention and talent. Weve become a vortex on a par with Wall Street for precocious college grads. But were not making the self-driving car. Were not making a smarter pill bottle. Most of what were doing, in fact, is putting boxes on a page. Users put words and pictures into one box; we store that stuff in a database; and then out it comes into another box. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [The Elon Musk interview on Mars colonisation – Ross Andersen – Aeon](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/84fe0b035c9b/) (aeon.co, October 5, 2014) - [The self is not singular but a fluid network of identities | Aeon Essays](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/722c7d5c6ff5/) (aeon.co, June 10, 2021) ## Saved the same week - [NetworkX](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/40fd22bcbbc3/) (networkx.github.io, June 5, 2013) - [Paper Darts: ART + LIT - Literary Magazine](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/23647169f87b/) (paperdarts.org, June 5, 2013) - [Ingebretsen's Nordic Marketplace: We have MN made Kubb sets!
