This might not be a bad idea. Setting up satellite institutions in other countries as backup, for example.

You're ignoring that the average ride on Muni, Bart, or AC Transit involves someone who's visibly or audibly tweaking out, loudly muttering curse words or threats to themselves / others, blasting music in the back from a tinn

Not the OP, but this is how my parents use the dishwasher - I think a lot of people don't realize that you don't need to pre-handwash for modern dishwashers.

I wasn't sold on dishwashers until I learned that they use less water than handwashing

Is there any proof that they're coding errors? A simpler explanation, to me at least, is that they first blanket fired people by dubious criteria, and are now using this as an excuse to backpedal when they realize they've cut some

It's user base and brand. Just like with Pepsi and Coca Cola. There's a reason OpenAI ran a Super Bowl ad.

Nope you're wrong. Lonestar has this all figured out. They even have a landing page and dramatic promo video, which is a clear sign of how much due diligence they put in after receiving their oversubscribed $5M seed investment.

Ok so in defense of their voronoi graphs, if they used a segmented bar or pie chart instead, you wouldn't be able to see the small quantities clearly, and if they used circles of different sizes, it would be easy to mistake the radii a

My use case was a program involving many calls to an external program that generated an XYZ file format to read in (computational chemistry). It's likely I was doing something wrong or inefficient, but I remember the whole process was

I didn't find it too buggy personally, in fact it has an unexpected level of composability between libraries that I found exciting. Stuff "just works". But I felt it lacked performance in practical areas such as file I/O

I feel they could onboard so many more users by having a fiat frontend that doesn't refer to blockchain. But maybe they're targeting crypto natives so users don't get shocked by price variability etc.
