The brilliance wasn't in building the core software but rather leveraging the right technology for scalable low cost messaging. WhatsApp's core messaging infrastructure is built on top of a modified version of the open source proj

I think it's only a matter of time before there's a solid choice full featured Go web framework that rivals Rails/Django.

I think Dendron is on to something great here - it's not just about note taking, it's also about highly efficient retrieval of notes. I have poked around it, but I intend to take a deeper dive and think about how I can make it par

Temporal is a company/project to watch. The founders know the problem space with as much depth as might be possible. They were responsible for AWS Simple Workflow, then built Cadence Workflow at Uber to solve Uber's workflow/

Two things- there was a rattle in the rear door on the drivers side, and there was a slight misalignment of the rear hatch. Both issues were solved without issue by Tesla Service (and they provided me with a loaner Model S).

This is an odd decision, wouldn't be surprised if we see them walk this back. I recently purchased a Model Y - and the 7-day return policy had critical influence on my choice to purchase. It makes it clear that they want you to be ha

Remdesivir is also apparently insanely difficult and expensive to synthesize as well - for a humorous take on it see https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/03/26/problem-remdesivir-maki... if you haven't al

What is fascinating to me here is the question of whether and where talent will relocate to. Places like the SF Bay, Boston, Austin, Seattle, NYC etc attract folks for more than just the jobs. There's culture, great schools (at least i

Hey Mike - Thanks for all your hard work on SQLAlchemy, it is very much appreciated. I've yet to experience any serious issues updating SQLAlchemy versions and the guides for upgrading have been top notch.

Sadly my comment will not add value to the conversation, but I came to the comments looking to see if someone made the XKCD reference. To my delight, here you are. #927 always delivers - https://xkcd.com/927/

The hopeful side of this might be that the economies of scale in renewable energy such as wind and solar have been funded by the wealthy countries. Thus the developing nations are in a far better spot where it may even be cheaper to use ren

On the surface I think you're right - but the author appears to be a contributor in the PinePhone community or is at least involved enough to be patching the kernel and testing out various features of PinePhone. That makes me think the

The thing is - those go hand in hand. In order to improve the autonomous features of the vehicles they need to collect data. Tesla driving data is anonymized and data collection is not enabled by default. As long as it's opt-in, I thin

Thanks for the data points :) I think something to consider here is that there is an iterative development process taking place with the satellites. Given the stated lifespan of the satellites is 3-4 years, they likely expect to see additio

Can you point me to your source on the planned constellation total switching bandwidth? I haven't read about that anywhere. I have read that they don't expect to be able to provide high levels of service in dense urban areas. Whic

Starlink will only really be a solution for rural/remote areas. It won't be able to supply high bandwidth at urban densities as I understand it.

Perhaps too much choice. The lack of a single dominant leader in the desktop Linux distribution space makes standardization a challenge. Thus every Linux desktop is a little different. Personally I find PopOS to be the perfect blend of what

Regarding the contractors, that sounds like outright fraud. My hope would be that eventually the bill comes due for people who fraudulently claimed funds, and they either pay up with interest or face criminal charges. Unfortunately some hig
