As you said, corporations steal all the time, so they're able to use this "for free". But since I'm not willing to steal, I can't use this for any sort of project because commercial activity is not well-defined as t

A lot of these comments are speaking on behalf of small projects and small companies who cannot afford to invest any money in litigation. So > anyone hardly cares about licenses is patently not true. If we are convinced that corporations

Are there any good alternatives? I looked at Tortoise TTS but the performance is too slow. Silero is fast enough but the non-commercial license is a huge turn off. Shame since it seems like it would've been a nice project to contribute

Is there an API for this? I actually have a programmatic use case I'd love to look into using this for :)

I didn't park in illegal spaces, I just refused to pay the meter. So, no high horsing needed. :)

> Treat fines like payments E.g. park illegally and let yourself think of the (expected value of the) fine as a parking fee I love this one. Back in Chicago, I realized the rate I was getting parking tickets at was about the same as the

The other property I've found notable is that friendships decay but some people refuse to accept it. For example, I have had some coworkers who have complained about how difficult it is to find new friends and meanwhile they're co

> Shipping the Nest thermostat with a screwdriver "turned a moment of frustration into a moment of delight" I must be in the minority then. I end up with a ton of these product-specific screwdrivers and get a little frustrated

An off switch doesn't convince me more though. If the company really wants things always on, they could easily wire the hardware off switch to a software off switch and elevator-close-button it. In fact, even a non-nefarious company mi

You can definitely hit the limits of Factorio. My largest base runs at ~10fps which is how I know it's time to start a new game. Egregious use of copy/pasting and an automated robot production will get you there. It's still l

All the other comments here seem to be criticizing the OP whereas I thought this site was pretty funny. That's a professional way to say: I'm pretty sure this site is satire. Just look at the source Instagram, it's meant to b

I agree, there's a huge opportunity for a concierge service here that would lead to a stable product. The experience doesn't have to end here. Having a low-engineering concierge service first and then incrementally building soluti

I installed an extension to close idle tabs older than 30 minutes. Keeps my tabs tidy because turns out searching for the page is faster than finding the tab among the hundreds.

No, we run a Discord and I am a user so I talk to them and get feedback like I would with friends and they are pretty open about bug reports, feature requests, etc. :)

Well, after 13.2 years you'd have broken even and be up one Listerine royalty. I don't know of any investments that have dividend yields that high.

Substack definitely gets a lot of things right and makes it easy to monetize a blog, but writing off other sources of content because > five seconds versus one second to sign up for a blog is a big difference. comes across as rather self

I absolutely love this constraint and I believe this is where all the complexity of frontend derives from. When I hear someone believe that frontend is easy, which nowadays is not as common, I always think yeah maybe on an infinite-dimensio

Definitely don't appreciate the conclusion that I just know unhappy people. As I mentioned, I don't think having kids has anything to do with it.

I have the totally opposite experience. Everyone I know who has kids is bored: they've given up on their side projects and resigned themselves to jobs they constantly complain about but can't leave because they need to support the
