I have this mentality. Sure M-F, 9-5, most work gets done, but there are times where nothing is happening at 4PM and there are times that I'm needed Saturday morning. The future will be defined by roles at big companies rather than hou

How small is this group? I find myself solving problems with capitalism and simultaneously donating 5-10% of my net-income. I also dont see life being any worse than 'before' for any classes. 'before' being 15 years ago.

Amazon has helped me 'invent' things. I cannot deny that getting components in 2 days for mere dollars has been very useful. This cascades as I then provide value for people that buy my later inventions. Sure I can use digikey, bu

POS removes the trustless and decentralized nature of blockchain.

Small timer here, I cannot afford Microsoft or afford to trust Microsoft to host my apps. Linux support is often google-able, while Microsoft is often paid. I only imagine Amazon is getting some friction from Microsoft Corporate.

From numbers alone? I can see Bitcoin being stable as its used as a fiat hedge, but the top alt coin Ethereum, failed to solve the Blockchain log jam. It seems overall, apps should not run on blockchain. These ERC20 platforms have to go to

Can you explain this further? What are positive benefits of ADHD on creativity? Ive never heard of this.

This is why these are short term projects. Uncompetitive products can be interesting and fun while its trendy. After, the market gets saturated if its a good idea. If someone thinks you can create a business empire with this model, they wil

I always recommend python. You are teaching coding, not computer science and electrical engineering on Day 1. Setting variables, printing things on the screen, creating loops, making your first functions- Thats day 1. With that, I would ass

Do not trust anything Tesla says. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manufacturers_by_motor...

You should look up the Chevy Bolt. 'Catching Up' might be more reserved for Tesla. They cant make cars, but automakers can.

by MrEfficiency 8y ago
Tesla(and spacex) have a massive marketing presence but have failed to deliver on their promises over and over. I stopped trusting their PR team, they must prove themselves instead of talking now. They did this to themselves.

Isnt this the point of OOP? Does any other language have a solution to this?

Wow, I thought I was alone and did something unconventional. Good(?) to hear that this isnt me.

Any isle I go in has multiple different pricing of similar products. Offbrand, brand name, up-and-coming brand name, etc... Most have many different features and obvious differences in quality. In my decade of shopping at walmart, the only

I find it weird to say- I'm excited to see what Walmart does in the next decade... but seriously, Amazon has gotten big enough to be 'bad' to customers and get away with it. The moment I saw an item was Prime only, I realized

How and why does this happen? I dont quite understand what would encourage someone to take outside investment money unless its necessary to build production. Maybe I'm so small time, I just dont understand, but Snapchat survived withou

"Tech Crypto" Doesnt mention the near impossibility of having 7 computers verify every database write for an application. Its slow/unreliable and expensive. Ethereum doesnt seem to scale and the solution to this is going POS,

Since ETH is expensive and slow, I dont understand why they didnt just copypaste ETH and run their own...

No mention that mining difficulty changed with BCH? Cant trust a coin that has a few players that decide how much money they want to print.

The mental gymnastics in OPs post are classic government apologists. Instead of criticizing the system, they find an excuse to propagate it. I dont have a solution, government is a beast that can barely be controlled. Voting and politicians

I cant remember why I uninstalled, but the UI changed and I couldnt do something I used to be able to. I think it was navigating videos and being able to hit 'Next' in-video. Whatever the case it broke and I found a new file explo

Dont forget you need to buy an apple, and the yearly membership, and have to constantly update when code is intentionally broken. As a small time dev with limited resources, Apple is my least favorite company to deal with.

I am fortunate enough to have only a few stupid things I said as a child online. I dont have any illegal doings or things I'm trying to hide. Sure my route to work and friends houses is being tracked. But that isnt exactly uncommon, my

Can we streamline the controls? Thats what GIMP needs. After 9 years of using GIMP I switched to photoshop because I was doing many photos and couldnt hand the inconsistency of what each button does.

I have a few things like this. I sew when I'm brain dead and hate working. Not even organizing/grunt work sounds appealing, so I'll design and make some sweaters. Ive also found getting stuck in a favorite video game has help

Consider that only the biggest and largest companies can meet all of google's expectations. Single person websites wont be able to compete. This means 'for profit' websites rather than free blogs take priority. This sounds li
