It's the absolute easiest and probably most common way to be rich.

by mdszy 7y ago
That's literally what happens to those whose riches are the result of inheritance, which is the source of a great many rich people, so yes.

by mdszy 7y ago
Maybe because the path to getting rich has literally nothing to do with intelligence and is 100% about being lucky?

Thinking about something and attempting to solve a real problem doesn't mean a solution has any inherent merit. brb thinking about how to solve climate change and attempting to solve a problem by turning off my AC give me millions of d

So another random coin that isn't actually going to solve anything because it's just being thrown at a problem randomly like blockchain always is. Nice.

Right down there in the other "Book Collecting" articles it literally says: > Bibliomania (tsundoku) There very clearly is a word for it. Bibliomania.

I too find a six-sentence long wikipedia article to be "hacker" "news".

From the article: >Perhaps most egregiously, 217 (1.4%) of the images were completely unlabeled but actually contained cars, trucks, street lights, and/or pedestrians. This gives us a data set size of 15500.

Who cares? That doesn't do a good job showing why this software is useful. At first glance it makes it look like everything is just more complicated.

Why are many of the examples so easily solved using other much simpler methods? Could they not come up with some actual reasonable use cases? >ls | bb -i '(count input )' ls | wc -l >bb '(vec (dedupe input ))' &l

1. Yes, but we also made sure that our payload was properly protected. Basically, it was a paint can with foam inside and the payload stuffed into the foam. It definitely didn't slow it down TOO much and without proper protection, the

That sounds reasonable to me. Again, not sure as to the regulations around that, if you're allowed to use a balloon that doesn't burst at any point or anything. Also, realistic bursting altitude is closer to ~60,000ft for most bal

Ours stayed aloft for about 2-3 hours when I did a launch with my college ham radio club! I can't remember exactly. It got up to ~60,000ft and then the balloon burst, quickly falling back down. We didn't have much of a parachute,

You'll want to find out the laws in your area about launching them. In the US, you can launch them freely without necessarily notifying anyone as long as they're below a certain weight and meet other requirements (maximum breaking

I did one of these last year with my college ham club! Had a blast. We made a custom PCB with some sensors on it that was supposed to transmit data via APRS but it didn't end up working. We think it was because the AVR onboard didn&#x2

Been using YNAB for over 5 years now, since back when it was a pay-once desktop application. Can't live without it at this point. The best part for me is how it handles where money you earn goes, it always goes to next month, not the c

And then there's the fact that if your parents did it, why would you do it? My parents did it so now I have exactly zero reason to do it myself. Also all the negative publicity behind data being sold, which should surprise nobody.

Because it interrupts the flow completely when they could have just written the model number along inside of the already-used parens like a normal human being. With a screen reader, it'll get to the superscript 0, read that out, and th

The "wow" factor is that Musk's name is associated with it. Nothing more.

by mdszy 7y ago
So they're halfway through digging the tunnel, not halfway through doing all the other things to make the tunnel actually as useful as musk is claiming. This all just seems like subways from first principles but probably worse.

Right I guess I forgot that the same position at a fancy company is somehow worth more because the company name is part of the FAANG acronym. You can't pretend that there aren't plenty of non "prestigious" companies that
