And that's ok! It's much easier to build a business worth $10-100M and get it to liquidity than it is to do the same for one worth >$1B. But if you don't take venture funding, your personal stake will likely still be worth

Oh, pretty sure the mouse trails will kill any ability, that’s by far the most noticeable thing about the higher refresh rate in my experience.

Well, I don’t want to discourage wealth, I want to discourage carbon emissions. It’s not a tax on people, you attribute carbon by tacking the tax on new carbon entering the carbon cycle (fossil fuels) at the time of extraction or importatio

I'd just keep in mind that the goal isn't to reduce human additions to the carbon cycle, it's to eliminate them entirely. Building nat gas power plants is actually a bad thing, even though they emit less CO2 than coal plants,

What’s the ownership of code that’s translated into another programming language by a human, given that usually there’s not a complete 1:1 of all features, so some of it will need to be rewritten?

That’s a different type of wealth mobility than I usually see - usually low wealth mobility is saying that if your parents are poor, then you’re unlikely to change that for yourself. But this seems to be saying something much weaker - that

>It's getting to the point where every realistic path to success is rooted in gambling/chance. I don't see how that's true? If you're well educated in something useful and you're conscientious, there are a l

Absolutely, the restrictions on dense housing development combined with the global hunt for yield caused by low/zero interest rates are the root cause for most of these issues. Policymakers were trying to keep the long term debt cycle

In your system, are regular people allowed to save up enough so they no longer have to work? Or must their savings erode continually so that they're forced to work forever?

Why would it require an increase in the workforce? Automatic provisioning and charging monthly per API key isn’t rocket science. I’m sure they have enough engineers to tackle this if the revenue opportunity is significant.

Haha you can always send a tick to the lab and start a course of amoxicillin preemptively. But it does get a bit expensive when your kids start picking them up every other week. Unfortunately the rates of Lyme disease in many areas aren&#x2

I don't think they were crying too much, it felt like >50% of the time I was at Walgreens on Mission St in SF that I witnessed someone very blatantly shoplifting. And pretty often, I'd see a spread of someone selling standard d

This seems like low quality blogspam composed of a few random anecdotes used to generalize across an entire generation. At the bottom, there’s a big disclaimer about how posts on Fortune don’t reflect the views of Fortune. Guessing this is

Thanks for all the tips, I’ve been looking for a good pdf viewer on the Linux side, ironically, Preview is one of the hardest things to replace for me from the Mac.

Oh cool, didn’t realize i3 could be used non-tiling. Thanks!

Yeah, the reason I’ve been trying to make KDE work as a daily driver is because I got sick of Ubuntu’s gnome. Thanks very much for all the tips!

Nitrate laden meat consumption is heavily correlated with colon cancer, no?

Haha thanks, I think I'll finally give those a try, I've been trying to make KDE work, and it just doesn't.

Any reccs for a snappy linux desktop environment?

Is it even most ev owners that are on 240V? We’ve been on a normal 120V 15 amp the entire time we’ve had one, and it’s been fine, because it sits there for 14-16 hours most days. We actually have a Tesla wall charger just sitting on the gro

Yeah, but I don’t think we’ve seen commensurate gains with healthcare workers, except by perhaps reducing visit time per patient.

It seems like maybe they didn’t pay in enough - baby boom demographics meant there were relatively more productive workers paying for relatively few old people, so each worker was paying a fraction of what it would cost to carry themselves

It’s not like those women were doing nothing before, so something else gets deprioritized.

Yeah, fair, I guess I’ve narrowed my vendor list a lot from when I was a teenager, probably a big part of it.

I haven’t had a driver issue in windows in ages, have you? I’m sure they still happen here and there, but I feel like this is mostly an obsolete meme at this point.

That's a good point, I'm guessing the bigger issue is that the chamber pressure is 1/3 of the Raptor 2's (100 bar vs 300 bar), which I assume means much lower ISP and therefore fuel efficiency, and therefore cargo liftin

Oh good catch, thanks!

Yeah, your last point is totally spot on, it is so gratifying to make something feel obviously much faster, in a way that few other things in programming are, and there's usually a lot of low hanging fruit. Also, if you work on a web

Seconding that, it's easily my favorite business/entrepreneurship book. It's very helpful for getting in the mindset if you're trying to figure out how to start a company, but it's also just really interesting and e
