I am financially secure. At most, I risk about $3500 because I'll sell if they go below $24 each. I did the same thing with Tesla, though they were $24 at the time. I've written about this before, here in HN comments. I often make

After I typed it, I thought about the price aspect. Prodigies that made the news, back when I was younger, often came from wealthier families. Today, prices are quite low for a bunch of things. That does count as broader access, methinks. S

Fantastic! The missus has also already started mailing the link out to all of her Grange Hall friends. The thinking is they'd buy subscriptions on behalf of their kids. She's remarkably interested in the product, if that is a sign

LOL I just edited my post - again. She tossed a few ideas out. They actually seem like sound ideas, because she is brilliant and perfect in every way. I like both the ideas, you're obviously not obligated to like them.

Bampa and Bumpa are sometimes used for grandfather. Meemaw and Mimmie for grandmother. I noticed your changing text of names. If you do international, the choices are huge. My kids haven't seemed to figure out how to make babies. I&#x2

Is there something more to the kids being software prodigies? When I was young, there weren't that many. If there were, they didn't make the news. Today, it seems like they are more frequent and that many are in software. Has ther

You missed the part where I said 'often.' That is okay by me. Karma is only good if you spend it.

I actually gambled on this one. I'd noticed the hype and read around this morning. I didn't go in that big, but we will see. I bought 700 shares at $29.12, sometime around noon. I was a bit busy so didn't pay much attention t

Speculation: You were being downvoted because software types often express ideas that can be summed up as business is easy and the people doing the business aspects aren't important. They seem to think that everyone and anyone can do i

I am not a DBA, obviously. I did have to work as one, but that was a lot of years ago. So, pardon me if this is a dumb question. You say you're stuck with it. Can't you just change a few things, shut down for a little while, expor

Would that be covered under UX? Loading speed seems like something that would be under the UX heading, at least it is as I understand it. Also, when we started to model pedestrian traffic, we also began to start on the long road to releasin

In theory, I don't see any reason why 3D printing a reusable rocket is impossible. With advances in 3D, it may become a reality where this company is a complimentary company for SoaceX and not a competitor company.

Continued... Why should we, the citizens, allow corporations those very nice protections from legal liability if we're not getting some benefit from those same corporations? Today, it's very much an automated and inexpensive proce

My comment is too long, so I'm going to post it in two parts. First, I want to point out that you're right. It is true when you say, "Companies aren't public to be nice." That's true and I'm not going to a

I frequently see people saying that they'd love it if Microsoft dropped a One Drive Linux client. My guess is that those companies could compete with Dropbox, with little real additional effort.

I am missing something, I think? Walmart and Toyota both have competition. Just yesterday, there was a good read about Dollar General. There are young automaking companies in China and India, though not really in the US market. I assume I&#

That kind of makes sense, thanks! It has puzzled me for years. It was very convincing dream Spanish, like fluency in technical verbiage and speaking about higher order mathematics - all in Spanish when I still had a hard time asking for a r

I was thinking about that and it could just attach to the frame and then use something like an aluminum pole to hold it out over the rear tire. It'd be light and adjustable. It'd look dorky, but it might save lives. I doubt it wou

I just noticed your comment. It is amazing how different the regions of Maine are. I'm in NW Maine, which isn't like it is up in the county, nor the mid coast, down east, southern, central, or even western. I'm more Jackman a

Could they turn that blinking light into a an arrow at the appropriate time? I ride a motorcycle and have upgraded all my signal lights to the maximum legal output. I would probably test to see if changing the colors was also effective. I d

It's going to be tough, but I suffered quite a bit. How'd I move past it? I started small (I was still rather young) and performed in a band. Eventually, I'd even sing. I am a classical guitarist but played rock, mostly. Anyh

LOL I opened this thread just to post a link to the Quanta magazine site. It's a very well done article and applies a great human element to the story. Dementia is one of the few things that scares me. For an amateur mathematician to d

Turn signals... Could it just be a small and lightweight LED panel that flashed a bright arrow pointing in the intended turn direction? With LED, it can be pretty efficient and still be really bright. I would think a blinking bright arrow w

Ah! I get it. Thanks! I was kind of surprised that it'd be the first stable version as I've heard good things about you for years now. I don't think I've heard any non-good things. So, F-Droid is on my radar as I conside

Oh, I know what it is. It's Android apps that are all open source and a store for such - the client app. Android users can also sideload them from the site via APK. Did they just number the app differently and 1.0 doesn't mean fir

I have no idea. It has puzzled me since then. In my dreams, I was having full conversations about a variety of topics. I probably spoke 1000 words at the time.

A good example would be when I'm out and about and see a deaf person trying to converse with others. I'll indicate that I learned a little sign language and translate for them. Another would be when I am out and about and I notice
