I’m deeply interested in synthetic media but it’s hard to believe there is a shortage of people who want to be video presenters.

I would post something up as soon as you can. You're front page of Hacker News but right now no one with a commercial app can really think about using it without some sense of pricing. You can always change it later. Call it introducto

This looks cool but can you share anything about pricing?

Nah let’s do both. If a company wants to spin a pro-social image - Uber is currently asking consumers to donate vaccine rides - then they sure as hell can take the heat for avoiding pro-social taxes. At a minimum, they should pay that tax s

The latest Firestick software update is a great example of this. The new UI/UX aggressively de-prioritizes apps from content producers in favor of a "feed" that lets them push their own content and intermediate content produc

Avocados, almonds, nuts, and other high fat vegetables are a heart healthy way to increase fat intake. And they are typically prepared with little salt or can be.

100% correct. For example, the Chicago food depository is an amazing organization with a really well run warehouse. It’s best just to give them cash because they can buy in bulk and obviously it’s easier to manage large quantities of identi

An interesting thought but unlike film one cannot arrive in a new town and put on a show for tens to hundreds of people with one piece of equipment. Both the gear and the physical space required are serious bottlenecks.

There isn't enough time in the day to be an FTE and run a consulting company. But there is enough time to do your FTE work and then go out at night and network your ass off to get a large consulting contract of some sort. I.e. actually

The first time I saw an OP-1 was the MoMa design store. It took me a few minutes to realize that expensive synthesizers are the new unplayed, high-end electric guitars that boomers like to buy.

What I saw in the documentary were a lot of hard-working, non-technical people that were offered the chance to work in a "tech" startup. Without knowing it explicitly, they were betting on WeWork having a moat like Facebook, Googl

"Vanity sizing" is a real issue in clothing. Sizes were always abstractions but now measurements are an abstraction as well.

My Dad was an early 3rd party Apple developer. We had the first Mac at home before they even came out. Things were janky from the 2 onward and no doubt before.

AWS may be the gold standard for hosting but I still recommended most startups start with Heroku for their hosting, especially since they add the code pipelines. The amount of VC dollars I have seen wasted on re-inventing the wheel of hosti

Same. I am concerned they are overlooking how much marketing mind-share Switzerland has globally for chocolate. Ghana could get there but it will not happen overnight, more like a generation. Distribution will also take time. Give that coco

The problem is that the employee would have to pay taxes on the value of the stack at the time it was issued. Given how high valuations can be and still never pan out, giving employees stock directly would cost them significant amounts of m

You could but the company would need to do the sales work that the bankers otherwise would do.

Walking in NYC is the art of picking the most pleasant path. 10st across the villages is more pleasant than one block south or north, Henry St allows twice the rate of speed of walking on Canal.

The risk I see for Substack is that if a writer has enough ad revenue in parallel to their Substack subscriptions they are more likely to jump ship, or at least, threaten to reduce the 10% commission. I haven't used Substack's cre

On a business level, the only happy future I see is if they can eat into Zoom’s market share by giving away a superior presenter tool and then switch to being a conferencing platform themselves. If they can’t, Zoom and others will add the s

Curious to see how this goes, specifically what percentage of current owners are still involved in operations 5 years from now. Live music is full of characters on the business side and I wonder it will be like for them having a boss.

Chicago, which has a long history of police abuse, has had residency requirement for police officers for years. What tends to happen is that officers live in one or two specific neighborhoods, far far away from the heavily policed neighborh

I don’t subscribe to Medium yet but I started using Apple News because the ad-driven model has led to publisher pages that are near unreadable / terrible UX. So I won’t be surprised if Medium is successful.

I had a similar experience comparing DSP algorithms; native was faster across the board. It’s hard to get excited about WebASM if it’s slower.
