One person’s “bloat” is another person’s “critical business feature.” The app ecosystem of Slack is largely responsible for its success. You can extend it to do almost anything you want.

Group FaceTime calls didn’t exist at the time. That wasn’t added until 2018 and required iOS 12. Remember that Slack does simultaneous multiple participants screen sharing plus annotations plus HD video feeds from all participants plus the

Well now you’re moving goalposts by adding specific time periods as qualifiers. So when you made your original statement, you meant to say that the ability to affect change ended recently? And now “This is foisting misery on people who have

I certainly assume your heart is in the right place. I felt like it was worth warning people to do research before making donations.

You can just turn off the AI feature in Brave search so it’s sort of extra pointless. It’s possibly worth pointing out that the about page doesn’t offer any indicator that this is an actual nonprofit entity from a legal standpoint, so at th

But this is an environment where people aren’t talking about real and very important issues. We obviously get along as a society when we are just doing day to day things. You don’t have to be on vacation to witness that. But when it comes

Isn’t The Economist a super “rich guy” perspective though? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve heard very good things about the publication’s quality and it’s admirable that it’s a weekly print. I’d almost rather just read nothing over filtering down

No capacity to affect change? Are we forgetting that this specific policy we are discussing was voted in by the public and won the popular vote barely more than a year ago? I think if more people were legitimately better educated and inform

Like I said, Framework 13 trackpad isn’t bad, it’s just not the best in the world. It’s not any worse than the traditional trackpads that are on Lenovo systems (but I’d love to try the haptic one on the X9 Aura Edition). This $2400 CAD pric

I use a graphical IDE. That still means my hands are on the keyboard 90% of the time. Graphical IDEs still use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. And like I said, the trackpad isn’t bad , it’s just not the world’s best trackpad. To reiterate fur

Sure, the point is, what about 10-20 years from now when there are enough drivers where the cost doesn’t matter? It’s like Disney World. They can fill the parks with people willing to pay $200 a day for tickets alone. If you can’t afford it

Sure, Chicago’s daily regional transit ridership is 10x higher than Houston though. And they also have skyscraper medical centers. One of them doesn’t even have direct interstate access. Houston’s red line has similar ridership levels to Ch

Well, a UNIX clone that was proprietary wouldn’t have become popular like GNU did. If you have to pay for it why not just use the real one?

It totally is. Demand can be induced. You can build more highways/roads, you can build more transit options, you can decide how to design roads and handle zoning, affecting how far people go (where are their jobs and stores?), you can

Of course, this project cost $2.1 billion, including $815 million to build the toll lanes in the freeway’s center. And it could be made ineffective as regional expansion continues. As soon as enough people who are willing to pay the toll sa

The part I don’t fully understand is: could this non-acquisition eventually make the deal less than ideal for Nvidia? Is it really a given that GroqCloud is going to be sunset and the company will die? Couldn’t this company hire talent and

I don't believe that fossils of microorganisms were counted in the resolver, but the ambiguities of Polymarket are definitely something to be wary of if the resolutions aren't well defined. To your last point, I'd argue that

by dangus 10mo ago
I imagine there’s lots of money to be made on fools in polymarket, like “Will the US confirm that aliens exist in 2025?” That topic had over a 10% “yes” chance in January. Betting no on that is better taking out a CD.

Trackpad isn’t as good, true. But it’s not a bad trackpad, either, and I would counter that other operating systems that aren’t macOS support external normal mice a lot better. On macOS I needed to install a separate paid program (Smooze Pr

You’re right, I read it more as an argument against that system. In retrospect as I re-read you indeed never made that argument, even if the same facts support those who do.

Find me a new MacBook Air that’s $1000 for 2TB of storage + 32GB of RAM, because that’s what I paid for my Framework 13 brand new (before RAM insanity, but this would still only cost about $1200 today). A $50 battery pack solved the battery

1. A little money solves this. You can register for 10 years at a time. Any decent registrar will blow up your email near your domain’s renewal date regardless of renewal status. 2. Whois privacy solves this. Free from any decent registrar.

Not sold in the US. On the bright side the ID Buzz is deeply discounted, it is really not selling. The problem is that the Kia EV9 beats it in basically every spec at roughly the same price.

Right, and let’s not forget that the VC game that YC plays in assumes that the vast majority of their ventures will fail. It’s way more exploitative than it gets credit for, even those who criticize VC firms aren’t verbalizing the vastnes
