Programmable money is a useful feature and ETH has won that space. It doesn’t mean it’s not high risk or easy. The one hard fork was fine imo - it’s probably good to have an extreme case community fallback when there’s serious abuse. BTC is

BTC is simpler and more static which I think is an advantage for long term store of value. PoW also has advantages on that front too. I think the environmental concerns are generally overblown and don’t matter.

Monero is security through obscurity- it’s not better.

Lots of noise in the crypto space and the HN comments are always bad. BTC and ETH are the interesting and worth putting a small percentage of your holdings into (BTC [0] as an international store of value that has benefits over gold, ETH as

This is how urbit ids work for what it’s worth, I think it’s a good model.

Yeah it’s wild how much of a vacuum exists in this market and how bad it is. I have the same webcam I also bought the lg meetup for a larger room and it sucks - it especially sucks considering the price. The Opal is a weak attempt to improv

Yeah - that was my read. They were helping him out and he wrote a stupid email, so they said fuck this you’re fired. Maybe part misunderstanding, but it was a dumb thing for him to do. That’s also taking this article at face value - I’d gue

The loan was paid back early and did exactly what it was supposed to do (incentivize alternative energy company creation). I think they may have even paid an early payment penalty to be done with it? So it wasn't a bailout at all. Spac

It also just seems ridiculous to try to separate Musk from the companies he's built. He's clearly a major factor in their success and it'd be stupid to remove him.

I’ve found it to be an improvement.

The double negatives in your first sentence are hard to parse. I think I agree with what you’re arguing though. Basically the scaling hypothesis.

1Password remains really great imo - people seem to use worse alternatives for ideological reasons but I don’t think there are any that are actually better.

Maybe where you went, but that definitely wasn’t the case in my CS degree. Code is really great and he’s a better teacher than most of the professors I had.

Yeah - agreed on 1, I disqualify it on that alone. Apple sets a high bar, but this doesn’t even clear a low one. Who would ship that? Does nobody else have any taste?

Your intuition is correct - it’s bullshit. — In the summer of 2019, we purchased a Molekule Air (the flagship model) and tested it. We bought an Air Mini that fall and tested it in February 2020. At the time we tested the Molekule Air, the

Brownian motion affects how small particles move around at small scales [0]. This is why HEPA filters can be effective even against smaller particles (which bounce around and get caught). Specifically about the Molekule - their claims seeme

I just setup tailscale yesterday to access a local urbit node and it’s seriously great! They really solved what has always been a major pain with local hosting and made it really easy to use. I ended up using NextDNS over pihole, but only b

Yeah, mine was in ideal conditions (bay area, garage) so that could definitely be a factor.

I have a 2018 model 3 with 35k miles and capacity is at 300mi fully charged. At least that one data point is better than what you suggest.

Related to your higher type of engineer: http://employees.oneonta.edu/blechmjb/JBpages/m360/Professio... It’s a good short story if you’ve got 20min.

The people that believe snake oil is medicine and the people that believe medicine is snake oil are cut from the same cloth. This thread is just motivated reasoning bullshit (whatever your personal opinion of Elon Musk), flagged.

Are you running Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows or something else? If what you're seeing is happening on one of those three that's bad, if it's happening on Arch or something - that's not really on them imo. A question I should

Thanks for the heads up - this is exactly the kind of thing I would be annoyed about if I bought it and why I abandoned laptop linux after college. Maybe one day, but unlikely soon as apple just accelerates their lead. I’m happy others are

Does suspend work reliably? Is battery life ok? Does the trackpad suck? I’m tempted but every time I’ve tried so far to leave Mac hardware I regret it - seems even harder now with M1 performance. Still, the framework laptop is super cool. M

This is just a cultural divide “dream team” to someone from the UK would be met with a harsh eye roll at best. There’s some irony here though - UK software companies pay shit. Netflix engineers were routinely making 400-800k in cash with a

I think it’s mostly that as far as can tell. Even more obvious with modern art. There was literally a blank canvas on display at the SF MOMA. Some others a child could do better. There was cool stuff too, but a lot of bullshit imo.

The mini is a flagship phone with flagship specs and better design. The newest SE is substantially larger and worse. I love my mini, but it’s also clear this is the last one.

I think the China lockdown situation is a magnitude more extreme (at least based on accounts from people in lockdown there on Twitter). People are not allowed outside of their units (only a couple per building to pick up deliveries). People
