You can make methane from carbon capture/sabatier reactors. Although I'm not sure if that's any more efficient than desalination/hydrolysis for an H2 plant with fuel cells. In any case, I'm onboard with replacing co

At some point, we have to zoom out and look at the big picture. Should we end up with a situation where this continues because in theory there's an endless amount of kicking-the-can-down-the-road that could technically apply? Probably

Anyone knows about the internal communication of the probe? What protocol does it use to talk between components, and what's the topology? Where and how do they locate sensors such as temperature probes, etc. It'd be cool to have

What would be a common, practical justifications for why this is a useful trait to have?

In the morning, I think while drinking coffee. Then I really think in the shower. As a result I take long showers. Sometimes during the day, I'll sit back and think. While going to bed, I'll think some more. Usually I think about

Yes but it's harder, so your expected outcome is lower.

There's research supporting the optimist strategy but I'll be lame in that I can't link you to it without searching for it longer than I can dedicate time for. I think Codex Alpha talked about it fwiw. Personally, I'm in

But you don't need to pull 500k/y to end up with >1M$ after 12y. Just compound interest will get you there rather quickly if you save half of your 105k median dev salary. Of course doing so isn't comfortable, but I'm

I'm not going to change your mood but I hope someone else reading this interaction early in their career will come out of it with an optimistic mindset instead of a cynical one. It pays off better.

Mate, I've been following you for a while and have a generally positive opinion of you. I think you're not going to have a good experience coming here with your guns out. I watch all your videos, but wouldn't I be a fool if I

It's not hard to move up the quantiles if you put the effort. It doesn't require ivy league education, a rich family, or a particularly genius mind. The mean salary is useless in quantifying wether you, as an individual, have any

The average joe who'd write this blogpost wouldn't be an average joe anymore. The reality is that most of us in tech can aspire to the author's outcome, with high probability of success. The odds are stacked in our favor. If

A lot of people with good life outlooks and plenty of dignity have their entire family sleeping in the same bedroom. Your "basic human needs" are actually on a scale that isn't "basic" or "need" at all. I&

And here I was thinking 950sqft was going to be cavernous for my family and my hobbies. We're currently in 750sqft and that's fine, in the Oakland/Berkeley area.

Something awesome about boats and RVs is you can experiment with that stuff without permits and learn a lot.

How's the CCP financing the subsidies? AFAIK they don't collect taxes on the average citizen/there's rampant tax avoidance.

The same exists elsewhere, in South Korea that I know of. Bridges and dams disappear or move on maps, Google Maps doesn't have high res sat pictures, etc. Just to say, it's not great IMO but not only totalitarian states have a nee

It would be cool if GitHub allowed rich interaction with PCB files like this. I guess it would help with open hardware design.

Sorry this is sort of a ridiculous comment, but your company name is a turn off. I'd feel weird using, talking about or recommending it to people because of the immediate narcissism it invokes.

If someone like Shopify introduced an auction system that can be turned on/off from the click if a button, or automatically when inventory goes out too fast, that'd probably help a lot of online stores.

It's not really specialized, it's a fancy MySQL until you need more. And then, it becomes 'more' at the click of a button. IMO if I were starting a cheap MySQL-powered project today, I'd use their free tier. The bra

I believe they use some statistical analysis and declared locality tags (from config) to group related cells of data on the same nodes and regions, but I don't know how effective that proves. Pure performance isn't a strong suit o

You can smoke, do crack and do all sorts of provably harmful things in moderation too. I guess the question is whether all pleasurable things are pleasurable enough to justify the harm they cause. Maybe to you, pop is. I'd say that emp

I'm not suggesting banning anything, or taking any position as to whether pop should or shouldn't be banned.
