Thank you! I searched for more background and found another guess why the Soviets used valves instead of transistors: "Unable to afford the thermal-resistance provided by a titanium frame, the MiG-25’s designers used vacuum tubes over

Like taking a vaccine. There will be a few who have a negative reaction but the positives greatly outweigh the negatives which makes it worth it for the greater good.

Interesting. Sloppy is random is simple is robust. This reminds me of a story where the USA got its hands on a new MiG and when they opened it up found that it used some kind of antiquated technology. Some time later the USA found out that

The latter. Amazon doesn't have to look at the data directly but only passively monitor their own server logs to get an idea of what is happening.

Great points especially keeping monthly (recurring) expenses low. An increase in income can easily result in an increase in spending.

Surround yourself with people who like to learn through experience. Experiences will turn into knowledge which could possibly turn into opportunities.

and this is why I built an entire business around elisp. Elisp is not perfect but I am betting that it'll be around for at least 30 more years.

I was really hoping that http://orgmode.org/orgcard.org (replacing the .pdf with .org) existed so I didn't have to reinvent the wheel. I did find http://orgmode.org/worg/orgcard.html though.

In my opinion, Excel is not a good platform for documenting research because it is very time consuming to audit and try to reproduce the results since there is no standard way for inputting data. There is a long list of cases where companie

Thank you. It would come down to execution. One way to solve that is to track "scene releases" [0] and download the releases for software you think could become keygen.sh customers. Then reverse engineer the cracks or patches and

Actually, this gave me an idea. The founder of keygen.sh can generate landing pages advertising cracks/serials/keygens for download on tons and tons of different software. When the search engines index these landing pages, whoever

I like this idea. Offer a fully working copy with only a fraction of the features the licensed copy has. Features are "staged" so it builds on previously downloaded content and every download is tied to a unique public key. This i

Yes, working remotely with kids running around in the background is not the easiest way to concentrate and get work done. On those days it is nice to have another place to go to.

I am on the fence about whether companies with 100% remote workers have an engineering advantage. First, you have more layers of (mis)communication with remote since non-developer/engineering stakeholders won't be able to know whe
