Could you do this 20 times as a custom services consultant and then identify the most important and valuable ask from your clients and then productize that as software? Take on 4 clients in parallel with 3 month contracts and you’ll have 16

I’m surprised the army literally calls it PsyOp rather than trying to disguise it as something more mild like “Communications Specialists”. Is there a reason for this? In my mind it would be to attract better talent that actually wants to d

Do you mean purely for economic reasons or a whole array of reasons and the economics are a part of it? Securing oil fields and the Persian Gulf is more than money and oil, it’s about securing trade via maritime traffic in the gulf for libe

In addition, how much were the Iraq and Afghanistan wars about projecting power to Iran? Look on the map and they’re being contained on both sides. Projects the power that the military will show up.

I have this sad, but likely true, theory that the U.S. needs to always be involved in a war to stay in practice and iron out the kinks for bigger wars. I say this as a medium-big supporter of the US military.

Ideas that will make their startup better that are realistic, highly likely they are considering: - 50 drones not one - make sure they don’t run into each other - drones of different sizes and speeds - watch out for power lines - watch out

This is version 0.1 - it will get much better. Anything you can think of, they’ve thought of and it’s on their roadmap.

The hardest part is selling a compelling vision that connect with people and motivates a whole new generation, not to mention investors and the gov to invest.

It’s a hedge for a nuclear war. If this US is in total isolation, they can grow corn, wheat, soybeans etc quickly with high output. Thinking about the geopolitical strategic layer of ag policy is fascinating!

Love how many people refer to them as Facebook, unlike Twitter and the news where they even refer to past activities as coming from Meta which sounds incongruent. Like “in 2016, Meta did xyz…”

Same boat, congratulations! I think the biggest thing about having a baby is that we change for the better and mature. Getting to a new level of wisdom and grit that sticks around even after they get easier when they’re older!

They would if they could. Those are mostly tiny countries with almost no resources to spy.

Just over a lb a week is totally healthy. 2lbs a week and he’s fine. But understand if that’s his choice!

The DJI drones have really good stabilization and crash prevention. Of course it’s different with a human involved, but scale up the mavic pro to hold 200 lbs, do a few more iterations, load in a Tesla battery and we’re there.

What are some specific examples? The main I could think of would be green belts and parks in the suburbs, not watering state park forests.

Sample size of 1: my gramps is 105 and yes he follows many of the same routines you mention but he shows curiosity in the web work I do and asks better questions than my boomer parents and aunts. So I think it may be more outlook and aptitu

One is forced, the other is chosen. For the most part global citizens choose to watch Netflix and Disney and listen to Lil Wayne. Different story with internment camps. Put another way, Americans listen to K-pop and watch Parasite because i

In courts they evaluate cases by each situation, so this would be treated differently than other theft, in theory.

Took a quick look at your product and I’d be a good fit. Here’s the thing, for non-technical marketers, they’ve become so used to SaaS/cloud because it’s easy. The moment I see “self-hosted” and “own server” my brain freezes up and I t

Easy enough to do when Norway is really the only big oil producer and they’ve got it handled themselves! Would be a different story if there was shale in the Balkans…

It’s not the highest prestige or highest pay, but development agencies and advertising agencies usually are most starved for CS talent and most welcoming to considering and interviewing new graduates.

Telosa is eerily similar to Tesla. Of course it’s different but my brain makes the connection. Wonder if there’s a future trademark lawsuit.
