> I hate to bring trans politics into this. I'm sure that's the last thing anybody wants to hear about right now. It bothers me sometimes if other people do that, it does not bother me at all if actual trans people want to talk

You missed a great opportunity to plug your product on HN, give us a name and a link :)

I also found this by just blocking things like HN in my /etc/hosts file. It's amazing how often I found my myself staring at an error page and then wondering why if I didn't make a conscious decision to go there. Habits

The VCs control your board. If you don't spend the money the way they want, they can and will replace you. They might even find a creative way to dilute your stock to $0. Lots of stories like that. Taking VC is like making a deal with

Oil doesn't actually come from dinosaurs, but you're right about the difficulty of bootstrapping civilization without easily accessible fossil fuels. We'd best not forget our current capabilities.

It's a fun idea, but a big stretch to imagine we're tapping into some field where that takes place completely outside the realm of the forces and particles we understand (but initiated from us in the realm of forces and particles

There's no reason to believe this is true about the universe, but it is a fun idea to think about. We know so little about consciousness, intelligence, and the brain in general. It is amazing how much insects seem to accomplish with so

There are already processors that are highly parallel, high throughput execution. GPUs as you point out. The reason they haven't replaced CPUs is not laziness, it's that many problems are not trivially parallel. Today's mix o

I'm not sure to be honest, it's a big issue these days that car companies lock third parties or of the computer systems and diagnostics. Right to repair seems fundamental to something as expensive and long lived as a car.

To be clear, I mean you can't service your car at a third party location with Tesla.

I think the problem is not so much that they won't fix it, which is reasonable, but that they don't give you any alternatives.

This. I've never worked anywhere that had dedicated ongoing effort to cost reduction in compute services. It's always a once every couple of years thing to look at the cloud spending and spend a little effort dealing with the low

In parts of Europe, like Bavaria and Austria they are mandatory indoors. They cost about 0.5 Euro each and there are usually buy limits.

Fuel is fuel. Porsche doesn't own gasoline stations. If they sell this fuel, it will be for any car with the technology to burn it.

Exactly, why would a court permit that? Isn't it standard that evidence obtained illegally is not permissible in court?

Marketing is a vital skill for entrepreneurship. An MBA is the polar opposite, it would mostly just be a waste of time. By all means improve your marketing and sales skills, it will only help. Half the battle is building something people wa

Unfortunately the Mexican border is somewhat porous.

Look for European companies, they tend to be more flexible about that.

The idea has crossed my mind before, so I'm quite interested to find someone doing it. What line of work are you in?

I've optimized for different things at different parts of my career. I've made FAANG level salaries working 7 days a week as a consultant. It was horrible. I'm currently making a little less than you but working 20 hour weeks

The difference is it's easy to skip bond and run off to Mexico, and hard to get them back from there afterwards. Not the same at all with Scotland.

It would seem that way, I would still prefer olive oil given the choice.

There are no citations for these claims in the article. While I'm inclined to avoid canola oil because there are better alternatives that are less contentious, I'm also not going to just accept the author's claims without sou

Waning immunity is overblown, and while variants might somewhat evade both natural immunity and vaccine immunity, that risk doesn't change the calculus around whether to protect yourself now against the known variants. These are really

This happens, it happened with the lab leak hypothesis. It's believable. I don't believe it to be happening here though. I've not seen any evidence for that. There are plenty of papers examining everything from vaccine rollou

They can say all that. The old adage about how to tell if a politician is lying - if their lips are moving - applies. But the data cannot simply be hand-waved away by politicians, nor easily controlled in the West. Look at what medical expe

I'd say you're missing the forest for the trees. You'd be hard pressed to come up with a realistic scenario where I would advise you that your odds are indeed better without the vaccine.
