A job in tech will get you $10k MRR. At least from this blog post, I wouldn't take his advice on MRR. He's optimizing in the wrong places; he'd be better off spending $100 per month on hosting and focusing on MRR than focusin

We stopped going to the moon because it's a vanity project. It's expensive, risky, and there isn't much more science to do or that can't be done by robots.

Or it is! And they can do it cheaper at-scale than you can.

Someone at the utility went through the same math you are and decided it isn't worth it at scale. It's probably not worth it at small scale.

The fossil fuel lobby can only do so much. Solar has gotten so cheap it's taking over on its own. Companies are doing it for no reason other than the math makes sense. EV batteries are nearing that point too. You can only keep BYD out

Except it's already possible to install a third-party app store or OS on Android devices. The process isn't trivial, but it's officially supported.

For some uses right now, this makes sense, but it has to be at scale. If you're working on something that will ship in two years and is used by end users, it might not be worth the effort since production will catch up.

Either you need the cash now and are already in short-term treasuries or you're it it for the long-term and you'll be laughing at this question when the Dow hits 100k.

I wonder how much is due to supply constraints, how much is standard growing pains, and if over-reliance on AI was the cause for any outages.

You don't need modern AI; you can build a system that does voice recognition, models the airport and airspace, and applies looks for violations. Actually, you might be able to try this. Live ATC and radar is available.

That's not a fair comparison. A desktop wallpaper could be 8 MB for a modern OS just because of screen resolution. A 4-minute music video would probably be 100 MB.

There was a book on this called "The Paradox of Choice." Its argument is that too many choices stress people out over the fear of choosing wrong.

You actually don't know the true cost until you learn the quirks of the UI, how it handles proprietary drivers, upgrades, the packaging system, how up-to-date and complete its packages are, etc.

Defamation is the most boring version of this case. Barring dishonest editing, of course it's fine. There are hypothetical versions of this that get more interesting. Ohio is a one-party consent state. It's not clear what happens

Tell them that they can only store integer powers of 2 and their sums exactly. 2^0 == 1. 2^-2 == .25. Then say it's the same with base 10. 10^-1 == 0.1. 1/9 isn't a power of 10, you you can't have an exact representation

I wish it had made it to thumb drives for its superior data retention. It doesn't work by holding a charge; it's phase-change, so it retains data longer.
