I would normally be tempted to think the S&P500 should look linear or similar-ish to last year, and so on. But I think there's a valid thesis where rapid technological advancement does indeed just grow the pie exponentially: where

It was a while back so I can't retell exactly what my day had been but I remember it was unambiguous and it was definitely the kombucha.

Wow this is scary. LiPo are very dangerous and even NMC which are stabler are very error prone when assembled in an ebike pack: the cells need to be high quality (LG, Panasonic), the assembly need to be very careful (so many ways for the in

By poisoned I mean food poisoning. Not sure what happened in the batch I made but drinking the brew gave me cold sweats and fever for two days and I emptied my bowels multiple times. So I stopped there. I still love the flavor, and I love m

I nearly poisoned myself making kombucha at home, despite careful sanitizing and careful monitoring of pH and temperature. As a result I'm really not fond of casual recommendations to brew kombucha. Seems easy to mess up.

Drone warfare isn't invented though. Warfare tactics are ever evolving, the same as an MMA fighter can do whatever it takes to win. So it's not like there's an inventor of drone warfare, who wrote the rules and derived the co

Which is why minimizing the mass portion budgeted toward shielding makes sense. If you're going to send 10 smaller ships or 1 large one, you better send the 1 large one.

They're doing the right thing. It's a killer business but this isn't 2020 ZIRP. If a company isn't profitable, it's not going to inspire trust, and this will hinder its growth and cost it deals. In addition to the t

If everything goes through a single intermediary, isn't it awfully inefficient? Lots of duplicated bits on the network all heading for the same part of town.

Love the work. Looks quite similar to what PlanetScale Boost does[1]. Basically the same but as a front-end to someone's existing database? (disclaimer: I work at PS). [1]: https://planetscale.com/blog/how-planetsc

If they're not rational, they can go to jail? Isn't that the idea of jails: take people out of the system if they refuse to act by the rules of the system at other people's detriment.

The crazy thing is that CA has ample solar power and the average house likely can be entirely offgrid with a large enough battery system.

You would think that by now AMD realizes that poor software is what left them behind in the dust, and would have changed that mindset.

Can you make ethanol from thin air, such as with the Sabatier reaction? I like the fact that you can take electrical energy input, atmosphere, and get methane. This means I could convert excess solar into a mass and volume dense combustible

So which Boeing plane is well reputed at this point? I've been avoiding the MAX 8 if two flights were offered and one had another aircraft model, but I guess the entire MAX lineup is tainted now.
