Sequoia rejected me wearing my best blazer because I chuckled when they asked my plan to make 100B - I should have just said I was a diamond support, eh? Haha

For sure, this is specific to the quite American "white bread". Certainly not our best bread!

White bread is often made with egg whites to give it that super dense but fluffy/spongy texture it's famous for.

Great idea, wishing you luck! While carbon removal today is inefficient, it's not set in stone to always be that way. For example, olivine is super interesting - one of the most abundant minerals on earth - it absorbs CO2 from the atmo

I agree, but I think either full on-site or fully remote are both leagues better than partially remote. Partially remote is far worse than either - because now all the in-person tactics exclude the remote folks, and all the remote work ta

Overfitting seems pretty great for survival - who cares if one in 100 canines is friendly - much safer to avoid them! Humans seem to be unique in that we occasionally second guess our overfit models. And in the case of avoiding dangerous an

I’ve been following the “BIM” movement as an outside observer - a rough TLDR is it’s essentially devops for constructions - bringing architects and planners and builders together using software. I highly recommend the YouTube channel “B1M”

Fascism is the idea that the nation (and the race) of a people is more important than any individual member of the people. A fascist would say bureaucracy only implies a lack of power. Private property is the opposite of the textbook defi

Call the person or the team or the practice whatever you'd like: DevOps is the merger of development and business operations . It is not developer + sysadmin. Companies with no "devops" (people/team/practice) build

Sigh. 2012 was so hopeful. Tech was still good and half life 3 was still on the way. Valve, with all its freedom and liberty for employees, lagged behind crunch mills this treated employees like cattle. The market said CandyCrush > Half-

Thank you for the shoutout. We’re working our butts off to make home hosting fun. I hope we don’t disappear - but we want to sell real tech and real skills. No black boxes, no moats, no lock-in. Investors hate it! :P

I’m sure I’m just getting old and this is really neat and useful - but it’s such a shame that everything is now just several SaaSs tapped together. Notion, Retool, Zapier, Google workspaces… I understand the productivity gains, but it point

As far as I've read, and I am not a doctor (although am married to one), it's the lack of fiber and huge amounts of sugar and salt that contributes to most of the health issues we North Americans face. Meat-replacements though are

If it’s a nontechnical problem then it’s a political problem. Make friends with the shot callers on one side or the other and convince them to capitulate. The alternative is to make friends with a senior leader and explain the situation to

The statement '"the world" has "mostly tried to stamp [minorities] from existence"' is not propaganda, and if you squint enough, is probably true, but it's also so broadly stupid and over generalized as to

No progress means no risk! Oh wait never mind the sun will eventually explode and the earth is and always will be doomed. The existential risk isn’t “what will we effect?!”, it’s the opposite: if we do not effect change we’re all dead and a

The counter to this argument is that time begets wealth - thus the oldest folks are the most likely to have capital. Those with capital impact economic decision making: thus the real trap is that we will all eventually spend all of our time

I don’t like it - I regret the purchase. Don’t you ever buy things you’re excited about only to find out it’s not what you hoped? I’m just not furious is all - and not nearly as furious as folks who… didn’t buy the product. Me being disa

This is democracy at its worst. The tiny fraction of folks who understand what this bill does will be dwarfed by the huge swath of voters who will see “protects children; holds tech accountable” and color in the dot for “yes”. There is no m
