There's a lot more to product pricing that compute costs...

While all the statements are almost the same shitty template, I find this one to be quite humorous: We begin the New Year with more optimism than ever about Flexport’s future. If laying off 20% of your staff gives you more optimism t

The longevity and viability of their work being anything more than terminal experiments is the main thing, those obviously do not make it to normal human usage. Implantable electrodes have been around for a while and are not new technology

physiologically, the devices have a limited lifespan due to fact that the tissue will start scarring over and render the electrodes worthless, it's an invasive procedure that can only be done once or twice. Neuronal actions are chemic

should've qualified with modern exchanges, centralized companies that facilitate markets and liquidity. Older generations were more open marketplaces and in some cases literally just physical areas.

They are grifters taking advantage of boom and recruiting industry execs to head sales. They don't have any proprietary technology. The fact that private info was leaked in a fb channel by annotators in like south america shows that

exchanges have been around for almost a century now, so coinbase actually has a huge disadvantage in that they have no institutional stickiness or users, exchanges are built on trust and I would not want my money being routed through them i

that is definitely more than $5000 and incredibly vapid response. I don't see how this adds anymore value over online searching, can you ask it for more interesting ,off beaten trail things? since retraining is infeasible, can you ma

I can guarantee you that this doesn't work well on anything other than perfectly cleared sidewalks and freshly paved roads. Could not imagine workplace lawsuits that will happen when someone falls and alleges shoe was at fault. Seems

I agree with last point, and you can see some effects of that now where they are no longer building underground gas lines and such for full new constructions and developments in some places. However, aging and unreliable infrastructure whi

It's going to get worse now because the fed govt has a rebate to install heat pumps, I'd expect the same treatment people get for solar to come to that now, lots of companies cold calling trying to sell more of a financial instrum

That does sound like something places should offer. I know some ESCOs and providers offer like free thermal imaging of your home. While insulation is relatively cheap, often the worst culprits are poorly insulated windows and any penetrat

Setting aside the egotistical link to misused philosophical point (I specifically did not say no one cares about it, nor did I assert I've never seen someone who does care about it), the major bottleneck for most software has always be

do you live in a well insulated (net-zero or passive home)?

by bfeynman 4y ago
There are a lot of factors involved here, sounds like you might've had a coalescence of fortuitous ones. I would not consider getting off shot freebie as the standard input cost. Also I'm assuming your home is already well insul

After really looking into this for my own home, I think there is some marketing BS involved. "Efficiency" is an inflated metric, it gets to a certain temperature a heat pump is going to be the equivalent of electric heat, purely

Would've thought for most services you usually just continue to add unit tests and not change/update them, as that is dangerous for backwards compatibility. Time taken for tests has never really been something I've seen anyo

If anything - this shows how vacuous standard local reporting is. There's little value here since a person actually writing this story would also write it in 30 seconds.

reorgs usually happen higher up the tree in larger companies, been through a bunch and its never affected any part of our work.

Organizing teams around microservices makes ... a lot of sense? Also - talking of redesign should be a major lift for any product/service that has real paying clients. The risk of breaking is huge, and the fact that during that time

Curious, do you mostly denormalize only immutable data? Otherwise how do you handle EC well?

Seen like 10 of these in past 2 weeks I feel like. Only genuine question is how does importing a schema work? Are they just prompt engineered next to the input query?

One of the most "solution in search of a problem" I seen, and there are dozens of companies that already do this. Turns out onboarding is something companies don't really care about if they don't invest in it, there are

Your interpretation of SPACs is very lacking. The shortcut they provide is often to circumvent normal due diligence that would show probably fundamental problems with companies operations. Sure normal companies may go down after IPO - but
