I have no basis for this, but I think this is also based on personal genetics or similar. Most of the bites I get seem to create no bumps or itchiness at all. When i was a kid, that wasn't the same, but now in my late 30s it seems to n

A shortage exists at a point in time, propensity to pay to make the asset may react to the demand for the asset, but there is no guarantee that supply of labor and capital meet at an efficient point. (art is a great example where the overla

I don't think this is correct. The reasons economists separate capital and labor is that they do have different characteristics. Labor has skill, capital can have technology. Assets exist regardless of utilization, labor cannot be stor

15min is certainly needed for some shapes in Boulder, even the loss of a few degrees seems to matter a lot.

I agree...but I also think it's a slow path to monetize OpenAI if they don't support some kind of channel to get paid by the sell-side. At least they offer a subscription and didn't jump to this as the only option. I'm o

As an aside, I think you could get a smart plug that would support a 15 amp load that could give you a notification if the load went away. Might not be perfect, but just reading about having a relationship with a washing machine in a theore

I think the idea is that explicit protections might encourage whistle-blowing. Especially since the domain is nascent enough that it's not clear what you'd blow the whistle on that might be unique to the companies that make founda

It's a great point. If you are interested, the book "why we make things, and why it matters" really resonated with me for this exact reason.

it is very difficult to determine this. Companies that do h1Bs are all multinational, so they can locate dev offshore and just say they did it internally. There's also the reality that even if you go out and try to evaluate the revenue

Usually only the selling part. At which they have historically excelled.

I love this idea. I think it would be useful for all app categories, not just games.

I see what you're saying here, and I guess I missed that point in the earlier post. Sorry. You are definitely right that the parties/political system does not make decisions in my favor (or really make decisions at all). Beyond ju

I'm no apologist for bad policy or lack of rigor on the side of the democrats, but the "Both sides" argument is tired and not particularly persuasive. What the Trump administration is doing is objectively unprecedented, and t

c'mon. IT outsourcing was done 100% to drive shareholder value, not to improve globalization. Don't drink your own kool aid. The party and its members engage in an incredible mutual hypocrisy with each other. It's all facile

I create .md files programmatically based on my calendar. One day, I'll figure out how to take my copilot notes and paste them in automatically, but for now I know that a note and metadata are already there. its great to be able to do

PecosHank on YouTube has a great video on TLEs and how to photograph them from the ground. I think the green is oxygen and the red is nitrogen, same as in the aurora.

Oh, nice. So they break it because they don’t care about devs…or they break it to test which apps are active enough to still get paid.

not a developer here, but doesn't somebody make a service that can just "update" the app every day by moving functions around in the make file or something? Pointless rules deserve pointless solutions.

I mean, that is definitely true, but also kind of the observation that drives a lot of MAGA - visible progress in construction, engineering, and physical goods is an important part of how people "experience" the economy. It is eas

Well, the idea was that it requires rockets and that SpaceX would get the contracts...but they even F'd that up.

I bought an Airthings radon monitor because of that stat, and one thing that I have learned is that those mitigation systems do not necessarily work. I have a system that works, but initially, even though my house had a system, it did not r

Solar over parking lots is so good. it creates power, shade, and reduces reflected heat.

this is costly and difficult. The reason they didn't do this before is that it is only necessary in some construction, and because rebar has to be as cheap as possible.

you are describing a very useful economic term - comparative advantage. In the case above, we have a comparative advantage in wheat production. Obviously the full picture is something that economists DO think about, but since our government

I for one, thing directing subordinates to do something I could be doing kinda … sucks? Like, I get that’s how you have to work with LLMs, but it isn’t a fun thing to do for me.

yes. While the administration is full of wealthy people, the charity they need is all of us assuming they're not morons. Meanwhile, anyone who is not a moron and still feeling charitable is starting to question those assumptions.
