Oh, I sure don't trust the government here, nor do I trust the government back in SF, or any place for that matter. It's simply a free market, and the cost / value function of my life at this point strongly favors this enviro

I don't own property here and don't plan to. Just an EV. I'm on the "Space Coast," surrounded by SpaceX, Blue Origin, Northrop, et al., engineers and exciting conversations every time I go out. Elon frequents a loca

My solution to absurd parking and towing laws in cities like SF and NYC: Leave. Now happily living in a mid-size beach town in Florida, with a reasonable cost of living, and zero worries my car will be broken into or SOLD BY THE GOVERNMENT,

Yes, the USSF has as part of it's "SpaceWerx" program a funding initiative called Orbital Prime, which autonomous on-orbit servicing and de-orbiting is a major focus. The summary headline is any private technologies that enab

No way would I keep a camera on my head that is directly uploading image (and audio?) data to a Meta owned and operated platform. No. F*&(king. Way.

I don't have anything of value to contribute past the insightful comments already made by others, but seeing an FCC regulator reach out to our shoe stringed highly qualified community un YC / HN, has got to be the most encouraging

Sounds like theft to me. I would sue in small claims on principal. But thanks for sharing, noted: I will never sell on Etsy lol

Bravo. PagerDuty is long overdue to be replaced by a better service. Their pricing is exorbitant, and their sales / account team forces you into year long contracts to buy seats you don't need. We are currently being threatened wi

I think whoever wrote this article has never heard of Tripoli. Albeit, a liquid fueled engine is quite an accomplishment. The article should have focused on that.

I lived in Athens while working on a Phd in P Chem. Looking back on the two years I lived there before I dropped out to run my app business, I didn't realize at the time what a perfect city it was to live in. There was _always_ an inte

I've stopped buying IoT devices. At first I thought, "wow, how neat, I can turn lights on with my voice." But really, switches work fine. They cost $5, don't really fail, and have filled their role since the ~1880s. I&#x

We Co isn't a tech company. Its a landlord subleasing commercial realestate as short term month to month leases with snazzy furniture. They happen to have a mobile app. Its functionality is so poor they removed the pay snack bar in my

Wow. well, I will avoid DO at all costs for the rest of my career. There is a reason Enterprises trust AWS, GCP, Azure, and pay for premium support (and startups should, to the best of their financial abilities). He needs to sue or negotiat

Great point. It really does amaze me that I likely use tools like precision GPS approaches and live access to weather data more than the typical part 121 airliner. However, I do think the FAA's strategy to slowly and methodically make
