Long before devpods (circa 2014) we had boxer, which was a command line tool that abstracted away the nitty gritty details of setting up a dev environment by orchestrating calls to AWS, vagrant, puppet, rsync, etc for you. However this was

I'm out of the loop and trying to understand - people lent over half a billion dollars of their 'real' fake money (ETH) to a game studio so they could transact on the studio's sidechain because gas fees are prohibitively

It's a 4 1/2 minute video promoting the product that has been viewed 32 million times. Considering it likely cost Nike <$50K and average YouTube ad CPM is ~$3.50, it may be one of the most successful social media ads Nike has e

Elon can't afford to put LIDAR on cars and sell them to a large audience. It's still too expensive. So instead, he makes excuses for why they don't do it while rolling out objectively worse perception systems.

He has done deliveries the last two days for a total of 5 hours 25 minutes on a trip vs 5 hours 32 minutes online. Total $149.54.

Yes, you could do that. 24-30TB of plots would win a block roughly every day or so with the current netspace. I'm using a bunch of used drives and not worried about disk failure because worst case scenario is replacing the drive and re

It depends. NASA will file a notice of intent to grant an exclusive or partial license - you can see the notices here[1]. In this case it seems the patent is still available for anyone to license[2]. They have special licensing terms for st

Call it a scantily-clad short then. A share that is already lent out to a short seller should not be eligible to be lent out again for the same reason I can't get two mortgages to buy the same house - the underlying collateral would be

There are issues with almost every assertion and conclusion in this post, but I will limit my critique to the idea that the downward movement of BTC is capped at the % of BTC people are willing to sell. It's simply not true. The spot p

I am opposed to allowing the markets to function, and believe the parent post is overly dismissive of the efficacy of enforcement as a deterrent. I intended to call out the folly of their idealism - "the war cannot be won" - the F

You can still be highly effective in disincentivizing behavior without completely preventing it. Enforcement raises risk, raising prices, which decreases consumption and thus the incentive to distribute. People are less likely to want to pa

The numerous microphones/speakers and spatial awareness features could be used for some localized active noise cancellation. At the very least you could set it to increase the volume of white noise/ambient sounds playing when ambi

I was raised in a family-owned independent sandwich shop where half of sales came through delivery. I also work at Uber, although not on the Eats side, so my opinion is informed but potentially biased. Bandwidth is the biggest problem small

What about video game consoles? Early in a generation, they are sold at razor-thin (or negative) margins, with the expectation that the manufacturer will recoup losses from licensing fees over the life of the console and that costs will com

I have a lot of IoT devices in and around my home, including some cameras. I don't trust any of the smart devices, which is why they all have offline/locally controlled operation modes and are segmented off from the rest of the ne

My first job coming out of college was working on a multi-platform game engine, and my first task was assembling a 3DS prototype board[1] and porting the engine over. It was horrible and fantastic at the same time. The debugging tools were

6,500 gallons of drilling fluid sounds much scarier than a 9.54ft cubic container's worth of water and clay.

I don't think that's true. Almost no one is complaining about Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo's "monopolies" on what software runs on their video game consoles. The big differentiator is that phones have become th

Driving 30MPH. The light turned yellow when we were 100 feet from the intersection. If you are traveling straight through the intersection, you can be up to 154 feet away when the light turns yellow and make the light before it turns red. A

Well this is convenient timing. I just received a citation for making a right turn at a red light 0.3 seconds after the light turned red. I had already been preparing my arguments for why my actions produced the safest possible outcome, but

That's not how ISOs work. You are taxed on the bargain element (discount to fair value provided by the option) at exercise under AMT, and taxed when you sell under the normal tax rules. Let's say you worked at Uber and you exercis
