Thanks for the tip. I personally also find Yandex nice because it will often recommend the smaller blogs like in the old days.

I've seen this scientific fact go around for a while now, but to me it just doesn't pass the smell test. Intuitively, it makes no sense at all. Forests are large areas that literally live on processing CO2. That's the main pr

Yep that's also my experience. Except HN because it does not use *** Cloudflare because it knows it is not necessary. I just wrote a blog titled "Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare if You Don't Need To" [1]. [1]: ht

Sorry, I didn’t double check indeed. I posted the wrong TED talk from him, see [1] at 4:21. There he says we need to limit climate change by limiting population growth. I think this is quite a hypocritical stance from someone who flies priv

Isn’t the idea that you don’t need haveibeenpowned since you’ll see mails coming in and then know your details have leaked? For ID fraud, more than an email address has to be leaked.

Yes nice article. Interesting point. One small one I do not agree with is "Are you burning VC cash on unsustainable unit economics?". I think it's safe to conclude by now that unsustainable businesses can be kept alive for ye

Yes but with a few features that are like social media. For example, you can create a post without a title. Also, you can create a post by typing a text and clicking on publish, so without any other intermediate step. I guess you could call

Exactly. Main problem is battery energy density. Cars can drive about 20 kilometers on 1 liter of gasoline. In comparison, Tesla's 4680 cells are at about 272-296 Wh/kg and CATL's Kirin Battery at about 255 Wh/kg. A bit

I did a PhD and keep saying this: the system is completely broken because the incentives are completely broken. Researchers have many things to keep in mind for their career, but truth isn’t really one of them. Citations are more important
