I wonder about airship based (inland) cruises. The cruise industry is on the order of $20b annual and I could imagine a similar experience by air, going no where fast, and opening up a very unique tourism experience to very different types

I did exactly this. I'm doing some frontend work where I only have basic knowledge and there was a small feature that was a nice to have. When I originally wrote my own solution, it didn't work. So I took my failed solution and ou

$100M offers by Alex Hormozi. The writing itself isn't all that polished, but the content is great. It's been very useful in thinking through my own business positioning and offerings.

Apologies - let me try and be more clear. The user loads a local movie into the browser, and the browser then processes locally with ffmpeg. The movie started on the client and stays there. If it is less than 2GB then no problems. If it is

I'm using this in a current project and it really is great to be able to do things in the browser that would otherwise require a nontrivial native client. One limitation I'd like to figure out how to get around is the 2GB file siz

While knowing who the authors are can cause bias, hiding behind anonymization (as a reviewer) can as well. I think publishing the reviews (and who reviews) would help a lot (some fields do this). Science is really a dialog. The authors are

The field(s) I'm in use double blind and it's broken for a host of other reasons. It's really hard to build off a string of work for example. Students (eg the ones writing papers) are often bad at the anonymization requiremen

Design for manufacturing is a big thing in many industries - consumer electronics, auto, etc. It does not seem to really exist for (residential) construction. There are some broad constraints by material sizes, but it seems that in practice

Yes. And the author provides both a cite for an academic publication as well as one from popular media. (And it's not exactly new either - the paper was published in 97).

This is an interesting set of options as it points towards a couple different things. One is the technical infrastructure needed to host the blog (and several comments here are discussing that). Another key difference is discoverability of

To throw in my 2c (having worked at Tesla before) - I don't think it is either of these directly. Clearly no one is clairvoyant, however Elon is not one to take the status quo as an answer (eg his first principles mantra). And making a

Agree with the others - find the email address and ask. Especially if the lead author is a student / post doc, they are usually very excited to help. Profs often have an overflowing inbox and might be more hit or miss.

The RA is great. I've been playing around with Roam in org mode recently, and have been feeling it (or a modern version) might be really useful there as well.

How much help did Nokia have from the EU?? Sure it was very Finnish, but not clear the EU helped. And it wasn't MS, it was Nokia itself in the face of Apple. I worked at Nokia and saw it first hand.
