You bill as long as you are even minimally plugged in. If you can’t crack a beer or head off to the gym, you are on the clock.

It is very simple. Pick a nonprofit that has an exciting cause. Go on their website and look for openings. It’s going to need to be a very large org to have developers on staff as almost all IT needs typically are heavily outsourced to vend

I suppose I could imagine a scenario where maybe a city dweller who doesn't drive much could street park and they could do their grocery runs and occasional running around from the solar self-charge. Then you would be looking at less t

Right but what's the problem with plugging into the solar panels that stay in place?
845.
by dougmwne 4y ago
Outside of the geeky cool factor, what precisely is the value proposition? You say you have solar on your house. So is it that you don't have to remember to plug in? Is that a big deal for most people? What if there was some kind of au

The downvoters are being pedantic. Sure you could save 400k in cash with thrift and gumption, but the simple fact is that almost no one does, and certainly not enough people to soak up all the excess housing stock as rates continue to rise.

What if purpose isn't something you find, like coins on the sidewalk, but something you choose? There may be many things you like or think have some value or that more of it should exist in the world. But maybe expecting one of those t

But the mortgage payment is in the process of skyrocketing. Even if home values drop, the majority of people are going to have less ability to buy a house as more of that money will go to the bank.

Let me offer a different mental model. Instead of a queue that needs to be processed to reach a productive conclusion, what if we view PTSD like more of a stuck process that just sits there taking up a core's resources without doing an

No, this is specifically a cloud feature and you are warned and asked for permissions when you access it for the first time.

This seems blindingly obvious? They use a cloud powered feature, then complain that information is sent to the cloud? According to this help article using designer for the first time will request permissions. https://support.micr

I think this is a great question that deserves a book-length response. Instead I will say, yes absolutely, environment is everything. We are like the dust on the wind. This is important in our careers, but also in our personal lives and eve

Sure, add on a little extra for the depreciating currency and currency risk (euro has been losing value vs USD) and likely at the time Apple was setting the price it was close to parity with the dollar.

Yes! Both the bubble and the crash are almost purely psychological. It's greed and fear coming in waves. There can be technical fundamentals, but to take the example of Bitcoin, you don't need any technical fundamentals. Humans ca

No one ever adds VAT. Consumer goods mostly come from China. You would expect them to be 23% more expensive across the board than the US where sales tax is always lower and added at time of purchase. Things produced within the EU can be a b

It’s entertaining and completely in line with what you would expect out of media and propaganda. There were a bunch of interesting Soviet missions that are basically unknown and obscure in the West. And this Chinese station seems quite nota

I think it would be quite bad actually in opportunity cost. The performance per watt alone would represent a huge energy savings. New chips enable new applications and no new chips would mean that the entire nonlinear economic engine of tec

Literally one of these on the front page of the NYT today, fully of chirpy anecdotes about people ditching the sweatpants and silly comments about how much our dogs will miss us when we go back to "real work". You may kindly shove

This is not correct and is against basic thermodynamics and conservation of energy. Store a whole bunch of potential energy somewhere and you have an explosive. The more stored energy of any form, the bigger the boom.

I think you just disproved yourself. The market does hate innovation. That’s why there’s this big unmet need for funding innovation the VCs step in to fill. The market has left money on the table and VCs since they are private money, can pi

I think legitimately there could be a product that you put on your face and get a virtual on-site with photorealistic avatars. Or a pair of glasses that give you multiple 24 inch 4k screens that you could work on all day. And a replacement

I was extremely bullish on Meta’s VR effort. The Quest 2 is extremely impressive and you really feel like peering into the future of computing. I’m starting to realize that it may be the far future. The $1500 Quest Pro was just released to

I think this is very true. I have a sense that you are right, though I'm not sure if anyone is doing high quality studies on the topic. One reason I think is due to declining economic stability. It's hard to have the mental space

Many really do not. I live in this area and have seen enough to know that plenty are focused on their own lives and not on leaving an inheritance.

The AI draws something close to what you ask it to draw. Then you look at the results and decide to share it or delete it. You are in control, not the AI. The AI is a tool. Likewise with other AI applications. People decide to create these

I agree tht I find it all pretty silly. You know what else can produce horrifying and immoral images? Pencil and paper. I suspect that quite a lot of this caution is driven by Google and other large companies which want to slow everyone els
