It's important to refer to this as "taxpayer funded" and not "free". That doesn't mean it shouldn't happen, but saying something is free strips it of value. What we should be internalizing is that this is

I think this pendulum will keep swinging. We won’t go back to that exactly, but things will always consolidate, explode or die, reconstitute into new things, consolidate, repeat. There was a time when AOL felt like it would be around foreve

If an autonomous vehicle kills someone, who is reponsible and what does that mean? I fear that unless the penalty for negligence is severe we will see a lot of bad situations.

I think their actual strategy is to cut deals with vulnerable devs. They are waving a gun around and seeing who flinches.

Nobody should expect this announcement to be met with enthusiasm on HN. Many kids have been put through college on the back of SaaS dollars. In the words of Dave Chapelle (who was quoting someone else) "Young man, don't ever come

There are some nice Chrome extensions which erase Youtube Shorts from the desktop experience. Highly recommended. I use "Youtube-shorts block"

Agreed that this is on the browser makers. Not sure how the incentives align if the desktop version is actully an offline experience. Advertising and tracking might be compromised?

I'd prefer the term Owner-Worked... because once you're an owner, you shouldn't be able to just think of yourself as a "worker". It's about taking responsibility for more than your assigned role. That's wh

I had years of dysbiosis type problems and found that the other main H2 blocker, Ranitidine, helped with my symptoms. Luckily I didn't take it that often or for too long, as it was found to be dangerously contaminated with a carcinogen

California also has really strong labor unions which may lock out some immigrant laborers. It's hard to say. It's a multifactor problem.

Sure, the major metro areas eat up whatever supply of cheaper immigrant (read: LatAm) labor is available. They're not making their way into the rest of the region... ironically, because there's nowhere to live!

I saw some article yesterday about this palatial new high school in Texas and the headline was something FREEDOM and TEXAS... but being in the Northeast, one of the biggest differences between here and there is the labor pool. In Texas, the

Get him a laptop early. Teach him how to make things. Separate “creative time” from “consumption time”. Get a router that gives you good controls for total time and time schedule. The TP-Link Deco series is what I use and it does the job. A

It is until you get a bad boss, bad project, or bad company. It is hard to extract meaningful artistic fulfillment from work at a company. Possible, but there are a lot of forces conspiring against it.

I could see an AI based system ultimately winning this battle. Instead of everything needing to be human-input and human-crafted, the AI would be the "trusted mediator" of the system. It would be a front end to something like Epic

I feel like a few years ago, you could use crypto as a hook. Now, it's poison to most people. There must be a way to pull off KYC for the web without tainting it with crypto. Don't get me wrong, I'm not dumping on the technol

Why would Sam Altman, the king of the world, ruin his reputation with crypto-bullshit at this time in his life? I honestly don't get it. Is it possible that he really thinks he's solving a problem?
