I misread this to be about "magic mushroom" but turns out it's an even better article! Fungi are fascinating, on the same order as viruses. It's a marvel of nature, fascinating and also terrifying. I sometimes wish I st

This is awesome! I actually was tinkering with a community driven review aggregator for all things. Post a link to the product and your review. 2 issues I ran into were: - "taking" product info from the links to be resilient to l

It opens up a whole can of worms though. What's "political"? Nowadays anything uncomfortable is brushed aside as political? Racism? Political! Gender inequality? Definitely political! Wealth in... you see where I'm going

Is there a npm package or a "component" you can drop in a website's source with some config that would allow you to block off anything that's not on the configured "allow-list"? Sounds like a "privacy badg

Funny how corporations are ok to regulate the heck out of their "open platforms" but people see the government enforcing fair(er) trade as anti capitalistic and freedom slashing. Is it just me or that's cognitive dissonance?

Sounds like something "influencers" and racing drivers will get for promotional reason and a handful of FU money holders will buy. But I wouldn't be surprised if the units produced stayed in the double to low triple digits.

Gotta fuel these flaky startup investments somehow! I always wondered how this company was still alive despite terrible investment track record. I guess they are at least good at financial engineering and market manipulations...

I will not argue that Tesla is doing things differently. I have one gripe with the absolute truth suggested by "good for the planet and its inhabitants" that so many EV manufacturers ride on. Are electric cars good for the planet?

To the risk of being naive, I'd imagine that gentrification can be at least somewhat mitigated by adding housing as the location becomes more desirable. This can take various shapes and forms depending on where. In the Bay, open space

The good and the bad news is that eventually, when the rest of the land goes infertile from overuse, your method will be worth the money :)

Do you have a good write up on how to get all that setup by any chance? Also, any body has a comparison of Brave vs Firefox when it comes to privacy?

Wonder if that is related at all in timing with their pet insurance offering coming out soon!

I really like the current forced WFH experiment but I have one major issue: How do you emulate serendipity in work remote. Finding it hard to have ad-hoc engineering conversations when you have to book a 30min cal window to talk about anyth

Yeah, I am more interested in union in it's power to uphold moral values. If you ever were to be sued for whistle blowing something despicable or wrongly fired for defending a coworker's right and other behaviors we see at the lik

I wish there was of some sort of association or union for people in the Software industry. While we are typically much better treated than basically every single other type of worker out there, we lack the assurance of protection when it co

Food stamps come with a whole bunch of restrictions on what you can and cannot buy with it. Want a big jug of milk to save and you need a big one anyway cause you have kids? Nope, the only approved milk is the half gallon, etc. etc. So for

My issue with "traditional" cloud gaming providers of the like of Nvidia (on top of non stellar perfs), is they they have a limited catalog and offer no system control. I like to play old games that only run on windows and could t

Anybody used it for gaming? I was a beta user of the Nvidia service which is dedicated to gaming and while overall acceptable, lag spikes would render the use of the platform really frustrating. Everything would be smooth for 30s and then &

Looks clean. Wonder if that means the array of sensors needed for AR/Face id is still that expensive to make that they can't add it to their $400 phone. You'd think that by now after having multiple gens of flagship phones us

This is how you realize the power of marketing. Despite many other options for video calls out there, Zoom seems to be grabbing the biggest slice of the pie, while not being provenly any better or superior to alternatives. See DHH's tw
