i got to try it out in arizona and it worked pretty well. it was a nice day and light traffic so will be interesting to see how well it does in a congested city. but i can see waymo being able to expand to several cities a year. also checke

this guy is completely misapplying the Pareto principle. if you lose the devs that are responsible for 50-80% of the work, your company is crippled. another point is twitter isn’t a pure tech company…it’s an ad business on a tech platform.

I was thinking about this earlier this year and Cal Newports work helped me completely reframe the question. He discusses it in this video. https://youtu.be/sjiP6sDyN-E This in addition to some Stoic concepts (take care of

i cant think of any successful/stable long term civilization/tribe/country/society/city state that is based on this concept. might work if you're a hermit or lone monk.

I use notion pro. I think the free tier is good enough as well. I use it for personal knowledge management and organizing my life. All my notes are in it, as well as interesting tidbits from podcasts, YouTube. I’ve implemented Cal Newports

dont forget the tax cuts and bailouts for big business that is added to the US national debt. currently at 31 trillion...but investing in education and healthcare for normal people is socialism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yep, I have about 1 TB of data I backed up 5 years ago that I was looking thru. I used the BDXL 100 GB disks. I’m a huge fan of mdisk but I’m not sure it makes much sense in the era of cheap cloud storage. There are many companies now that

i read a book called dopamine nation and it was eye opening on how modern consumer products are designed to hijack your natural reward system. one of the products mentioned was ksafe which is a box with a timed lock. first time i used it wi

sounds like security issues of a startup that quickly scaled and never dealt with the technical debt rather than anything malicious.

i might have missed it in the article but it seems the issue is that there arent enough mines coming online to meet the new demand NOT that we dont have enough copper. it is about the same abundance as zinc and nickel. this is where the fre

well for the same reason they dont really compare Android phones to iPhones. we're past the point where it matters for most people. most phones today are fast enough and what matters are things like which os you like, battery life, cam

i wonder if they think they can continue growing the self driving part with this approach. you will get the hacker types, but dont see this going mainstream. the way they get around regulators, is they are selling the hardware and the users

there is a talk by Tony Seba on technological disruptions on Youtube that I find really interesting. in it he talks about the adoption of new novel technology as an S curve. so when a tech is new its expensive and there are very few adopter

why is anyone surprised? if you're using a free product, most likely they are collecting your data and selling it to the highest bidder.

pretty incredible results. between this and the radiation issue, it makes me question the viability of long term lunar or martian colonies without some serious advanced in genetic engineering. i'd also be curious of the long terms effe

why do you have to wait for a market downturn to weed out under performers. that tells me management isn't doing its job and isn't tracking metrics or perhaps the right metrics. random quarters where employees are let go for bulls

they're a private company, i don't see why they can't dictate the rules for their platform/app store. facebook essentially will do the same thing with their occulus store once they gain enough market share to dominate. p

ya but you have to look at it in terms of the consumer. not everyone is buying a new iphone every year. most wait two years and two years of 18%+ improvements leads to a phone that feels like a substantial upgrade especially for mobile game

that was my first instinct as well... that its probably something to do with attention span. a lot of these IQ tests requires considerable focus, for 60-75 minutes. there are studies that show a drop in attention span from the 70's to
