Same. I'm a big time psychedelic advocate, and relatively frequent consumer. Prozac actually saved my life. Psychedelics since have certainly enhanced it, but they could not accomplish what prozac did. I can go into more detail if inte

My lifetime mpg is just about 20 on the dot. It’s a 30.6 gallon tank. Keep in mind I’m driving through canyons and mountain passes and just about maxing out my payload over half the time I drive. It’s incredible.

I think there’s a very very low chance. I live in Utah and have land in Wyoming. I own the hybrid (powerboost) F150 and use it for its intended purposes constantly. I am in southern Utah and northern Wyoming all the time. There is simply ze

What makes you think there’s a point to anything about it other than that it’s electric? The boring design is a good thing. It’s not trying to be “cool” or even innovative really. It’s simply trying to be electric.

Yes. It's fantastic—the best portable dev machine on the market. My only complaint is the bezel, but it's ignorable.

This all sounds reasonable but also anecdote. I'm curious if there are any analyses, studies, or anything other than PNWers' HN comments backing claims like these.

Do you have a source for this? What is "best" in this context?

The Fermi paradox covers this quite interestingly: “The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence.” https://en.

Yes. But does irrationality imply non-reality?

It’s the same but with a framework to share between people rather than just hiding pieces of paper around the world.

Ah, it’s you! You’ve got a hell of a resume. And been accidentally incredibly convincing in getting many people into many early messes. Jokes aside, thanks for at least coming around to advise startups sanely. I’d personally never advocate

Earthquakes are not silent. I'm not sure where you experienced yours but earthquakes are deafeningly loud. Movie-style earthquake sounds don't even do it justice.

It’s a balance. Sometimes it is worth spending a ton of time leveling up your team (teaching them to fish), and sometimes it’s much more helpful to have you do the work yourself (we ran out of food and you’re our best fisherman).

Why did you pick the number 11? I don’t disagree but I could see it being a lot more. Just wondering if that’s some sort of agreed upon number or something.

This is good insight and matches with my experience. As a product-focused engineer/manager, it’s too often I’ve found my teams giving up and taking into our own hands what “should be” owned by platform teams, while they work on things

Have you read the book? Topology has a definition. It doesn’t mean anything different in this context. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology It seems like you’re just not willing to put in the effort of understandin

https://elliotec.com I use it for a portfolio, blog, and just posting random projects I do. It’s so gratifying to hear from people who found use out of it, which happens occasionally.

I feel like the fact you can’t even use it yet because you don’t have an invite is exactly why it isn’t ready yet.

Most of the discussion on this thread is about my timeline of saying we were one of the first families with internet in 1994. First of all, I did try to qualify it with “as I was told” - i was a kid and all I knew was what my dad and the in

I don't think "feels right" and "uncomfortable" should be conflated, though. Many things feel right and uncomfortable at the same time. Think of break ups, moving locations or jobs, having children, and to your poin
