distribution/eyeballs is the issue with having your own site/self hosting though. Albeit I feel like if there were momentum in that direction, someone should do the RSS reader killer app for that. I.e. something like Reeder w&#

With the "walled garden" comment, I'm wondering - nowadays, all sorts of discourse seems to depend on these types of proprietary services/platforms, that employ armies of engineers to keep them running, develop new featu

The one thing about all this press from "After Steve" - the author is one of those reporters who tend to make speculative guesses about Apple that have not borne out. Granted, perhaps he took extra effort to get sources/rese

it seems like that is a whole other skillset vs. biology graduate students...I know the Allen Institute employs data vis people to write visualisation tools like this in d3/react or whatever the web api du jour is, but they are separat

well..rumors of 1 way bus tickets to LA... Small town police departments are notorious for running "undesirables" out of their town...redlining and zoning keeping certain people from buying real estate...things like that.

There was an interview with Gordon Murray, where he was comparison testing supercars of the era while designing the McLaren F1...his comment on the Ferarri F40 (I think) was "well, we realized we couldn't build one in our shop if

It depends on the culture perhaps. "not invented here syndrome" often practiced by many tech companies. Granted, as an aside, my understanding is the 250 GTO line of models were meant as an afterthought to fund the racing side o

granted, I feel like sometimes, snobby customer service is a feature/"experience" and not a bug for certain classes of Veblen goods!

I wonder if that means current inflation rates are probably COVID-inflated and will drop precipitously? in which case maybe the Fed shouldn't raise rates as aggressively? Or maybe there's not enough to really infer anything from t

You have to find a network of campy dealers, but then it's fine. They engineer the entry level groups to have the same feel as the higher end, and the cheaper stuff might be more reliable because they don't use as much exotic lig

I wouldn't mind it if ultegra/dura ace also came w/ a mechanical option. But to completely d/c mechanical w/ the latest flagship groups and not provide an option? that's harsh...

Ultegra and Dura Ace DI2 is expensive. Vs. the cost of Campagnolo Veloce/Athena/Potenza or even Chorus. And ironically, you could get Campy easier during the pandemic than anything Shimano....

the issue is - what is the D21 (and brethren) capability? I think the war gaming w/ the late USSR and now China as the opposing force worried re theater-capable ICBMs. It's not like the carrier can hide these days...

yeah, I remember that was the whole idea re the Stryker divisions of the army too. reading that article, maybe that means there are longer range standoff weapons than Javelin/Stinger up the infantry's sleeve that we may not know a

that would be a potential YC idea. A company that enables smaller groups to do clinical research w/o needing an army of people to wade through the regulatory red tape. That also isn't in and of itself a giant predatory CRO type

Ha! I was just thinking about that acronym. I guess the whole point of all this new hardware compute power on Apple Silicon and TSMC processes is to run emacs faster...
