I once did an internship in a small town in Germany. There were 2 bakeries in this town. One closed for all of July as vacation, the other took all of August as vacation. They had coordinated this with each other so that everyone could alwa

Except when it isn't awesome. There are multiple PoE standards. Passive PoE, active PoE, PoE+, PoE++, PoE+++, 802.11af, 802.11at, 802.foo, blah blah. If they had just stuck with 12VDC and buildings had 12VDC wall sockets everywhere, ev

Hm. It's still quite common though. Politics aside, Elon Musk, Jetson Huang, Sam Altman all have successful projects in terms of ambition and impact on the world. They don't spend their weekends in the mountains. They probably hir

I find myself always struggling between being ambitious and being happy. Ideally I'd like to be both. But when one gets on the "ambitious" treadmill, capitalism wants one to work 24/7/365. Your competition is showin

Mostly because biking in socal is actually dangerous. Drivers see bikers as scum, not as bona fide road users.

Ideally the real future for food delivery is not food delivery. People should be given enough time to make and eat healthy food, or dine-in at a restaurant if they want to eat restaurant food. Boxed up food tastes bad, and is largely a solu

Hard disagree. The Humane AI Pin ad was a classic silicon valley ad that screamed B2VC and demonstrated nothing actually useful that couldn't be done with an all-in-one phone app (or even the ChatGPT app) and bluetooth earbuds that you

I hate big O notation. It should be O(N) = N^(1/3) That way O is the function and it's a function of N. The current way it's notated, O is the effectively the inverse function.

In California they usually use magnetic sensors on the road, so that usually means cyclists are forced to run red lights because the lights never turn green for them, or wait until a car comes and triggers the sensor and "saves" t

Yep. Add a usable SSD to that and it'll be 7K. I have 8TB in my laptop (cost $500) and 28TB total in my desktop (cost ~$2K) and before you start on it, yes I do use that much space. These are unheard-of numbers for a middle class Apple

The real problem is Apple being so stingy with RAM. I have 192GB of RAM on my (non-Apple) desktop and 96GB of RAM on my (non-Apple) laptop. I have never had memory issues with Electron apps, 200 Chrome tabs open, or pretty much anything, re

It would be awesome if one could craft a FOSS license that allows all FOSS uses of the project except creating a US letter variant. A4 is awesome, and should become the US standard.

Cryptocurrency could also solve this problem. A "debit" card could have 1000 crypto wallets, each with $10 in them. If you want to pay $90, it forks over keys to 9 of the wallets, and they get drained by the merchant as soon as th
