I'm privy to dozens of people working on this problem every day and I imagine there's many more people working on this problem out of sight. I'm bullish on this idea, but it's going to be a slow burn.

It's odd to me that you found the need to use a throwaway here. You're missing my point I think. I'm talking about _eradicated_ diseases, not the flu and covid. Those are not 'preventable' diseases in the sense that

I've always respect PG's articles (obviously), but him pointing to a sole founder at a high growth rate (which founder btw, what is the product) as 'proof' that no bad has been done to reach that level of growth is so in

I lived in Texas for ~20 years and am well-versed in the plains+midwest, I just don't agree here. If all you do is drive through highways in these states, yes those are truck stops. However I'm fully confident in saying everywhere

I don't think they're trying to get one over me, nor do I think it's _that deep_. One should simply acknowledge the prior projects that led to where you are today, even if they are your own. I 100% stand by my original statem

If you look at recent data[1], this has only accelerated further. This was not attributable to one president. Attempting to point blame for complex economic systems to one person is so foolish I don't even know where to start picking i

I disagree, because now I am suspicious as to why there's a glaring omission like that. Never the mind looking at contribution timelines.

I really wish they'd acknowledge the prior art and name that they've taken inspiration from - https://github.com/postgresml/pgcat Don't pay a startup for your DB proxy, you should own that layer yourself

Of the 4 series A-B startups I've helped grow, none have measured and made decisions on cloud spend based on measurement. The only time this came up is when bills got too large and spend needed to be controlled. You're right that

We did not meet continuous residency requirements for 10-15 years due to travel for my dad's work. Afterwards, it took me nearly 5 years to meet that requirement due to the fact that I lived and graduated abroad for highschool. I tried

GC holder of 25 years with citizen parents. I agree with you and I stress about this daily. It's always been a shitty deal though - we are taxed with no representation in government.

what the..? This sounds like Facebook mumbo jumbo. Free speech has nothing to do with your state of freedom (i.e. being a 'free being'). Being 'free' also literally means choosing on what to spend your energy. Complete n

Broadband/fiber internet accessible to all residents of the USA, anyone? Always love reading about how the telcos took that tax money, hemmed and hawed, and ended up never fully delivering what they agreed to.

I switched to Jellyfin and also don't regret it. I agree the quality is lower, BUT that sacrifice in this case was worth it given Plex's shitty track record. If any of y'all are interested in helping the Jellyfin project, tha

Totally agreed, I've been 'got' in interviews before. Now I ask follow-ups with specifics. If you were an IC, you should know libraries/architectures that were used. If you were in leadership, you should be able to tell
