I've always thought of scarcity and FOMO as different things, at least from a product marketing standpoint. Scarcity: There isn't much of this thing, so I need to compete to get it. I will prioritize it more highly. There is a sca

I also have an 11 year old with an Apple Watch and it has been such a good introduction to connectivity as well as social media (iMessage/texting...) She has gained a lot of independance because we are able to track her with the watch,

Altman has said explicitly on several podcasts that they are working on search and that it was something he is particularly excited about. I am guessing that this falls under the "we will steamroll" clause of OpenAIs gradual move

Posting this here, because it was advice given to me by one of the founders we all look up to on HN when I had my first child (on our 4th now). "If you are going to have kids and run a company, you all need to sleep." and then he

A sea wall performs much differently than a properly sloped structure. There are different engineering approaches to this problem and they function well when in place. That said, it's a waste of time, money and resources.

Gas stations have a very different configuration than Superchargers. It's an odd comparison to being with. Drive through supercharger stalls could be really nice and would resolve this issue, but they would take up a lot more real esta

This is for access to compatible 250kW Supercharges. There are a lot of them, but it is a subset of the total Supercharger network. [1] If you check the Find Us map and select "Superchargers Open to NACS" then you will see which o

I came here expecting to find a mention of Dave Winer. In geekland, I believe he belongs in the pantheon of underappreciated shepherds. In 2000, Dave began crafting OPML [1] to provide a means of sharing lists. He composed his weblog using
