I'd wait and watch. Cryptocurrencies are rising, and PornHub is going all in on crypto now that they've been cut off from VISA and MasterCard. They might be the ones who finally push it for mainstream adoption, then PayPal can go

I don't think it's a problem. Developers that develop for Windows collectively make far more money than Microsoft does. Windows is a platform and Microsoft does a good job of being a platform. While Microsoft bundles, it's no

I'd add that material UI is one of the worst things to come out of Google, and their implementation in GCP, Gmail etc. I absolutely hate it, and it looks cheap. Even Windows 10 interface looks better. Even though Material UI is funct

Aborting male kids born to ugly parents would be an interesting idea. Women are guaranteed to reproduce, men are not. If you are going to have a son, and you know he's not going to be the most handsome guy, don't have a son. Other

The reason is cultural asymmetry. The US culture is more attractive than the Chinese one to most of the world. America has the image built. China doesn't. It's behind. China will open when their culture is at a similar standing to

As I see this, this is a very clever move by Cloudflare. It's intentional to force websites to move to their CDN or atleast use a CDN with anycast and prevent you from making your own CDN like you could cheaply before (spinning up DO d

At this point I feel like that most AWS services are for marketing purposes. The type of people who would pay 30k a month for 12k msg/s are very few. It's just there so you can awe developers at the breath of services AWS provides

My bank wouldn't allow me to buy cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies let you decide your future, they offer freedom. No banks, you decide where your money goes.

Yup, the bandwidth at the big clouds is far too expensive. It makes more sense to host somewhere else if you're a consumer company.

Don't retire! There is too much uncertainty. Invest some of the money in US stock, and some in stocks in other parts of the world: China, Vietnam etc. Put 1% of that in Bitcoin/other cryptos. Wait until it's 2 or 3m, then liv

The market only acts fairly when the product is a commodity. The time for the market to react for a product with the complexity of a mac is decades. As the ecosystem grows, the cost of switching increases. Therefore market starts acting mor

The force is acting on internal parts too. I don't think the silicon microchip inside can survive those forces. There is just too much that could go wrong here. I would be positively shocked if this thing works. I'd have to rethin

Cite a reason why you'd think it's dumb. Denying that China has so far been very successful is a fallacy. Compare China to India, China was behind. Now it has leapfrogged ahead. It is yet to be seen if China can reach the develop
