Activities

Applied Minds has been chosen to do major renovations to the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC.[1] Elizabeth Broun, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum said that the "Applied Minds concept is that it encourages visitors to come back again and again to see the many new and ever-changing presentations there."[1]

In 2014, Danny Hillis split off his portion of the company and founded a new company Applied Invention.

This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.

gollark: I see.

gollark: Actually, this statement is false.

gollark: It's a "suckless" program, so you have to edit the code to configure it, and it's designed for elitism.

gollark: desktop window manager.
