I thought Uber already did this with surge pricing? Or does it not take supply into account, only demand? Or is the extra money not going to the drivers?

I remember reading an article about the US military using a PS3 supercomputer cluster for something, but it was so long ago I don't remember where or if it was a puff piece or something actually significant.

Kind of makes you realize how small Vermont is. I just checked and the city of San Francisco alone has about 300k more residents than the entire state of Vermont; 900k to 600k.

And Nvidia buys ARM, which is then bought by AMD-Intel, which then merges with Samsung.

I don't think it's pedantic though. If what makes your argument powerful is tying it back to a natural phenomenon, then it should be right, otherwise you're using a bad example.

I have problems building habits going out of deep work. It's like the problem is less getting dumped from my mind and more slowly filtering out, and since my mind is still occupied, I'll move on reflex and perpetually forget to f

I've thought about this before. Maybe randomize reactions within a range, or apply some kind of focused perception filter with a delay to mimic the focus and processing of the human eye.

Is that related to the Millennium Tower sinking?

Is that all at the same time? If so, do you have concurrency issues?

Yeah, I thought the same thing but steam users are saying it's "like a 2 hours demo", so not much content.

Blog comments are mentioning the fact that one of the choppers had to refuel, maybe a testament to how energetic the chase was, but maybe it was already low at that point. That, and the fact that there is an AFB there points to a military

As an unpopular HN opinion, I love red meat, so this would be very inconvenient for me. Although, synthetic beef products are out there so I guess there's that option. Just wish they had more weightiness and texture.

Hey, if you've used AWS SES before, how would you think the two compare?

I'm seeing it in the sense of gambling: I buy when I think it's going to go up, you sell because you think it's going to go down (stocks), but people don't think, they just get excited, bubble happens, then we get a smal

I think OP's comment feels pretty valid, especially in an in-person event like burning man. There is a divide between participant and passive viewer. As a participant you give, and as a passive viewer you take, which can feel like an

I think low code tools have come a long way. I also think the problem with low code tools is the specific problematic edge cases or implementation cases that make it hard to do without the more robust capabilities of actual code. That, an
