Figma has saved us uncountable human-hours in the era of WFH/Covid. Being able to see and work on anybody else’s files, instantly and simultaneously without mucking about with file servers and merging changes from multiple editors is a

Good comment, especially WRT trade off between confidentiality and availability. Nonetheless, I do feel that many of these items (few standards, little interchange, often old tech, data decentralization) are primarily problems because the v

I feel that OP’s idea that Parker’s wife wouldn’t be on board with “nerdy/tech-y stuff” smacks of sexism to me. No reason she couldn’t be an equal partner in this, or at least a non-detractor.

The insight isn’t “add some spices to cheetos”. It’s “you’re ignoring the entire Latin market, and we have different preferences in food than you do, and here’s what those preferences are, and here’s an example product for that.”

Maybe the RX480? Many of the 4GB models sold were actually 8GB models with firmware locking them down. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-rx-480-4gb-to-8...

MXroute has a blogpost where he digs into this a bit. IIRC it actually gets accepted by Google immediately - but then spends 5mins in the ether inside Google before it hits a Gmail inbox. No way to tell what the delay is coming from, other

On the flip side, RAM prices are good and SSD prices are amazing. But yeah, CPUs and GPUs are a gongshow. A lot of people are blaming scalpers, but I think it’s just demand is much greater than supply.

Absolutely. I also know nobody IRL who has had it (at least, nobody who has tested positive and admitted to it). That said, I know a few people online who have had it, one of whom has died - but I guess that’s the cross-community nature of

I’ve had the same experience around gift cards, and was just baffled. Like, this isn’t a strange or uncommon operation, it shouldn’t take three employees to cypher it out! One other funny thing is if there are two promotions you want to com

Prior to COVID I would have said that retail space could be office space, but now? No idea. I feel it would be really hard to convert to residential, so I have no serious ideas. Maybe schools?

I feel what you’re saying is an exaggeration. In highschool history class we definitely had conflicting viewpoints on the causes and blame for WW1, varying perspectives on the use of gas in warfare, the arguments about the ethics of bombing

I could have sworn there was a relatively recent FB post on it, but I wasn't able to locate it. That said, there's a 2015 interview where he said $60K per year - not sure if that's in CAD or USD. https://metalinjec

I’m confused as to what your second paragraph is trying to say. Spotify made 6.7B In revenue last year - not profit. Of that about 5B is paid out to the world’s musicians and record labels (technically bandwidth is probably in that number t

Spotify has never posted an annual net profit. If you want to blame somebody, I’d say you should blame the listeners who overwhelmingly listen to a small number of popular artists. Alternatively, blame the record labels who contribute less

Yeah, Devin Townsend (who I would consider a successful musician) recently discussed how much he makes in an average year - and it was something like (going from memory) 70K per year before you factor in all the expenses associated with b

Then you’re mainly testing oral English skills. Also, in most subjects I could mark an exam in a fifth of the time it took a student to write - whereas with oral exams it takes at least as long as the exam took. Quintupling the load on TAs

More gun control is actually shockingly well supported. 83% of gun owners support universal background checks. Even 72% of NRA members support universal background checks. It’s mostly just the NRA itself that doesn’t, and they control a lot

I think it’s also worth noting that 50USD is a fantastic price for what you got -I can’t see anything even close to that good of a deal locally or on eBay, whereas I can buy a Pi with minimal effort right now.

Wow! That would drive me batty! It also seems unfair to students who can’t afford the latest-and-greatest laptops and are stuck with laptops with lesser battery life (unless the laptops are all school provided).

Hey, this is super cool. Thanks for building it! One quick question: How should I be handling server side errors with this? Like, normally I’d check the status code coming from the server and throw up an error modal if it’s an error - what’

Is it a commercial product? I’m under the impression that what this enables (slow thrust vectored ascent of small rockets) is extremely cool from a hobby perspective as it’s more “accurate” to how large rockets work - but from a raw functio
