Most of these projects are waaaaaaay to slow to reach profitability. You want product market fit ASAP. I also don't think it should be a programming project. Code is a tool, like anything else, and if you have no experience, it's

For $20, you can get the MH Z-19, which is a NDIR type. You can talk to it over UART, and it comes in a 5000ppm and 2000ppm model IIRC. Decent documentation, and a good little sensor. The S8-0053 looks interesting, but I have no experience

I don't think the second sentence follows. Good people existing does not imply that everyone else is bad. What's more, signaling corporate responsibility + personal ethics is a part of his company in the same way that Elon Musk&#x

I would like to add one of my favorite mathematical "cookbooks" -- "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas. Bad Integrals? Tensor Analysis? Fancy functions and special polynomials? PDE tricks? Boas h

Absolutely. I'm 21 -- I have 30 to 40 years to weather this storm. For people of similar age, you could not ask for a shallower entry into the market, albeit a tumultuous one.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I recognize it's not practical, but that doesn't mean I'm going to change the criterion -- it's also why I chose not to upload data to 23andMe. In Google and everyone else's

I mean, if they were free, I see your point. But they can't be, which implies paying someone else to do the maintenance, and distribution, plus a fee on top of that for their time. You can scale it any which way (or dodge the second bi

I suppose, but any isomorphism has its limits. For me, a scooter is much more affordable than say, a hotel. I am willing to pay a small premium in rent over buying the hotel for the convenience and flexibility of not having to own a hotel.

Yeah, don't really like that either. At least with the other services, the user arguably sees an improvement -- better community, better car, whatever. Your genetics are what they are; I doubt (but might be wrong!) 23andMe is sending o

Ah, but public transit is inherently the slowest option. I have no desire to make 10 stops before I get where I'm going. I also have zero desire to rent my modes, as that encourages literally rent seeking behavior. Either we need to fi

What a excellent, albeit strange, model. People pay you to analyze their valuable info, which you then aggregate and use to develop a drug and sell to others. It's almost exactly like trash -- people give you their valuable commodity (

This whole model is incredibly, impossibly, flawed. 9/10 times, my net displacement for the day is 0. If my net displacement is zero, I would prefer to own the medium I'm using to move. Bike, car, scooter etc. Only exception is st

I've gone cliff jumping at Saint Mary's Glacier several times, and the cold shock is real. Even with all the adrenaline, hitting the water punches the breath right out. Once the spasms pass, it's really not too bad, and hones

Link to the actual paper https://t.co/s0NZ1PcpQf Is it normal for econ papers to use the first person? Super weird to read. His Latex formatting is a mess too. Check out page 37 for a scatter plot of rock solid correlation,

When I say middle of the desert, I literally mean it. If you're living on federal land in Nevada, you're doing something wrong. I'm also talking specifically about research universities. I think the debate about cost should b

The University goes first. Nevada has zero income tax, almost no property tax. It's about as business friendly as it gets (no 9 on some random list I found); the problem is it's a barren desert devoid of anything worth doing. You

You want to revitalize rural America AND solve this tricky problem of too many qualified kids, not enough spots? Let's bring a new wave of land grant universities. The feds own like ~90% of Nevada, let's put a top tier research un

Not trying to imply it's wrong -- if anything, research should be written to a professional level. I also don't think the background should take you from high school calc to topology or differential geometry in one fell sweep.

Headline is waaaay overblown, but not all of it is total hyperbole -- checkout out arxiv and try to read the abstract from just about any paper. It's basically totally impermeable. I'm almost done with an undergraduate degree in m

It's like somebody dared amazon to put a mic into every new item they sell. The TV remote has a mic. The outlet has a mic. The earbuds have mic(s). and so on. I mean, I get it, they want me to talk to Alexa, so it can figure out how to

I can't imagine Aliexpress is that big an impact on China's economy. The bulk of orders, yes, the bulk of sales, no.

Hence the separate brand. Lexus to Toyota, Infiniti to Nissan, Acura to Honda, Porsche to VW.

These threads always seem to miss the point. It's not about the specs, it never was, and never will be. Apple builds, or at least tries to build, seamless experiences. It's the reason there's limited hardware, excellent softw

As long as we're willing to expand standardized testing, I agree. So much effort goes towards eliminating bias in hiring, especially for white collar jobs, yet the portal to those jobs is couched in bias.

looked thru your site, seems pretty neat. I think accumulating and designing tools is one of the hardest parts to creating physically, as opposed to cranking out thoughts. Flutter seems like a cool platform!

A couple of thoughts, in the spirit of this essay: There's different levels of consumption. If it's a decent book, someone, usually a few someones, have revised and rewritten parts of a thought, in an attempt to refine the thought

This "everything as a service" industry is a terrible deal for consumers. It's a great deal for companies though. Why should I pay a constant fee for things that should have been one time purchases? Why should I lock myself i

Barrage of anecdotes ahead, in the absence of good data. I also have a pretty big interest in the company, despite not vaping. I have a small write up on designing my own Juul pods (delving into the chemistry) on my site https://
