These glasses address farsightedness, which doesn't apply while driving. Worst case you just take them off.

Basically - building video games is (or seems from the outside) fun and cool, and so there are lots of people who want to do it. In effect, people are willing to be paid in fun, rather than in money. Also, games just generate a lot less rev

China may be subsidizing this for now in a way that US companies can't or won't - but if they keep building power infrastructure and the US doesn't, then it will no longer require subsidy from them. It will simply be absolute

The original Antigravity editor is/was just a light reskin on VSCode. My normal workflow - even before the 2.0 update - was to run VScode and AG at the same time, on the same local codebase. AG would do the work, which I would then rev

Must I beg to have an acronym spelled out a least once, the first time it's used? Even if you assume 90% of readers already know, the other 10% (including me, in this case) will thank you, it doesn't take much effort, and it expan

Yes, that's what I meant, but I'm an idiot and just used the word that came to mind: GBP symbol -> "pound" -> "lb". And I don't have a quid (GBP) button on my keyboard. Thanks for the correction.

It will if it's a required 35lb item, which is not readily available from multiple sources.

Honestly - the first thing that came to my mind is that the papers got stapled back together wrong, and her original correct answer was swapped with someone else's incorrect one. And instead of simply explaining that, she decided to ju

Fine! So let's get started then! I don't care about data centers. I don't care about AI. Maybe it's here to stay, maybe it's a passing trend. I care about humans, and human prosperity. Human prosperity - ours and ou

Prosperity is closely correlated with energy availability. Can we please build some power plants?

Oddly from your comment I can't quite tell which end of the political spectrum you're on. I think I agree with you, but I'm not sure until I know which team you're on.

I love this book, and I often recommend it to new folks on my team. I used to carry a few extra paperback copies to give away, just in case.

It is not at all clear to me why people get upset about using borrowed money on the balance sheet of the acquired company. Say company B wants to buy company A. Company A is worth $20B, but the buyer doesn't have that much, and the ori

Me too! Where is the wild-west? The independent sites and dark corners with weird stuff? Those were fun times. It felt like I was an explorer in a new place helping to also build and contribute to that place. Now it's basically like in

They don't need perfect enforcement, or even good enforcement. The purpose is to make VPN use criminal. Then you have a large group of people getting away with criminal activity which you can go after on an individual case-by-case basi

I'm not convinced. I use a VPN basically always, and frequently get blocked by VPN detectors. It's not perfect - sometimes switching VPN servers/providers gets me past it, but websites can employ VPN-detection technology. The

VPNs are on their way toward being banned and/or heavily regulated. I imagine what will happen is a requirement for VPN providers to "know your customer" just as banks do, and for them to be able to tie a particular traffic s

Decaffeinated is often marked as "97% caffeine free" or something like that, but regular coffee is 91% caffeine free, by weight.

"... and a player without a legal play loses..." That's more like stalemate, not zugzwang. Edit: Pardon my idiocy. Stalemate is obviously not a loss in chess. So I guess that no-pass go is like neither of these things. In zug

Capitalism DOES do this all the time, but bankruptcy is the safeguard against this among private companies in a capitalist system. If your outputs are not more valuable than your inputs over a long enough period of time, you will be bankrup

To me this is so much about where you focus your attention. Even from a purely financial perspective. Mental space dedicated to watching your expenses is space you aren't using to improve your top-line. Some people are very proud of be

Wow - nearly 20% of the California bullet train! Almost double the wildlife crossing!

PSA: decaffeinated coffee contains about 1/3 as much caffeine as regular - so far from caffeine free.

Great - but this will only until home distilling becomes popular in which case they will find a new reason to prohibit it. A company will produce a home-distilling gizmo with a fancy screen and app to go with it. They will raise some few $M

I'm pretty sure that the chances that one dies in a mission is nearly the same as the chance that they all die. Very high correlation approaching 1.

That is an empirical question answered by the market. The way you get your answer is to build it, get it in front of people, and see if they use it. Then you will know. Note that if you want to be the answer, then you have to prioritize oth

You can stop at bullet #1 and that's plenty to raise $17m on right there. No questions asked.

The remaining lifetime of a technology is proportional to how long it has already existed. However good this new thing might be, however much better it might be than git - I don't like it's chances.
