I also think the reducing friction for the installation of downloaded DMGs from somewhere on the internet is not being done on purpose. There's so many points that MacOS makes you have to think 'do I really have to install this a

This is why I'm keen on seeing corporation tax on profits abolished because it's pointless most of the time. If you want to tax it properly, rather: - tax sales in the country where things are sold, this is the price of access to

There is a point when you run out of people who are willing to spend millions on the empty investment vehicles so I'm hoping even those properties will help with supply when the tide eventually do go out. Unfortunately it could take a

How things have changed. I remember going to Berlin around 15 years ago and was surprised how cheap the property was there. At the time it was a city where the population wasn't growing for a very long time, but had good infrastructu

European cars have more complexity, so more things that can break that requires expensive parts especially things that makes it more comfortable to drive on roads that are rarely flat or straight. There's less space for parking and mo

I think the problem is more about buying masks from sellers on Aliexpress with KN95 printed on it which may or may not have actually been tested to meet those requirements. These are the same items that independent sellers on Amazon will e

It's actually a good question. I think the best insight I got on the topic was reading an article once about how to tell the difference between a child being gifted or having ADHD or being both. This is difficult since they often hav

I'm nodding in agreement here. For composing I would suggest people also look into cropping the photos before sharing them to get to the golden ratio or rule of thirds. It's usually a really quick and simple edit to make and it

I guess for some people the social part is either painful or difficult so for them it's easier to just become masters at the leetcode game.

I'm with you on this. That said, something like this is happening anyway it will just take a while to play out. If companies keep interviewing like this, it will keep on selecting in a certain way and basically exclude people who are

I don't think we can assume costs will keeping coming down in a kind of linear fashion. To get to 50% renewable energy it probably will and I think this will happen by itself because there's a clear financial benefit to it. For

Germany spent a lot of money on renewables and they still ended up as one of the countries with the highest levels of CO2 in Europe. That said, it's not for nothing because while this is was a combination of a lot of mistakes, everyon

There's certainly been issues with how parts of the trial was run. However, it's not insurmountable. It's possible to untangle some of the past data and the trials aren't over yet and these aren't the last trials

When I saw the article I thought that perhaps he found that well priced large e-ink display or pulled from a failed product, but turns out he just found a large one.

Actually this would be useful for something I've been wanting to set up. I want a white noise generator in my older kid's room to fade in and out when the baby is crying, since the baby's crying keeps the other kid awake.

In our case we have a non verbal autistic son and a video baby monitor is really useful since it's not like he can call out for us or tell us if he has a problem. I am busy replacing his with a raspberry pi based ones because I'v

We already tax people and most of the noise about companies not paying tax basically ignores that because it makes a good headline. I'm of the opinion that taxes on corporations are a bit of a nonsense tax. If they sell goods or serv

Perhaps it's just a habit I've stumbled into because of ADHD, but I find that in the long run choosing to spend time on learning something very different doesn't feel like a zero sum game. It's because the different new

I also think the only way for Windows to survive long term is to allow evolutionary branches and clones of it, like how the AT&T and BSD UNIXes and later on Linux and SysV and later on Darwin and Android managed to remain so successful.

That's certainly a great strategy if you have those options available. However, if you can't maintain a certain moderator to user ratio then that's going to be impossible.

by kokey 6y ago
It's the problem anyone who moderates a system faces, when the users vastly outnumbers the moderators your moderation has to have some level of opaqueness and unpredictability or else you have no chance of keeping up with people gaming

This is weird. This morning I was thinking about how much I miss his newsletter, but we also have a new young baby in the house so I totally understand. I even considered writing him an email to tell him this. Now I can at least read an

I've had the same experience with old stock Dr Martens bought from a bunch of cockneys at a shop near Brick Lane, the longest a pair of shoes of mine ever lasted until then. Years later I ordered some from Amazon which I suspect may h

I probably have a skewed perception because I play with small fpv drones, but any weight saving like this usually opens up a whole world of new possibilities we never bothered to imagine before. This will certainly help existing delivery d

That's really annoying. I like to make little build environments with something like Vagrant and some scripts that will set up the toolchain. Having to use a browser and an account to download pieces to make it work makes that really

That's also what stood out to me. It's almost like the article was painting the hypothesis as something a lot of people who 'feel' the same way (as the author) is trying to prove it to be true without going into why do

I got my mom an iPhone for this reason. Then she kept locking herself out of it by typing in the wrong password. She lives in an Android dominated country so asking for help around her had varied results, including having her phone wiped
