I bought a behringer UMC-22 this week for ~$60. I went down a huge rabbit hole, and it seems like at about $120 you run into the focusrite Scarlett (solo, I needed two channels so $169), and for an upgrade of $20, you can get the new Univer

You know - I bought a piece of salmon the other day. A piece of Salmon, in Pittsburgh, in November, shipped from the Atlantic. It was $10.99/lb. Which is an increase from $9.99 and felt “expensive”. Then I realized that my $9.99 is pay

Thank you! That’s not how I interpreted that original post, but It’s not that small houses are bad. Small houses (as I’d define it 1000-1750 sq ft for a 3 bedroom) are great. But I still see it written as “if those structures were removed”

In life and running a team, negativity is a limiter. If you don’t believe in or are positive about what you’re working on, why should anyone else be? And if you truly are negative or pessimistic about something, sit with that for a minute a

I would also join a startup to work on this stuff if someone is interested in B2B VR productivity software.

I hear you. But it is also about effectively processing information in that environment.

I enjoyed it too (I’d love to just light my files on fire when I’m not happy with a draft). But I don’t see “email” going anywhere for a long time. At its core, it is text information and serves as a record of a transaction, usually related

Fair. I’m hoping for a “portable” headset even if it goes into a backpack and may have layers (like an astronaut helmet) where you have transparent for AR and then blackout for full immersion.

Lastly! You only need 1 device. So spending $5k+ on a device that could provide a better experience than your TV, iPad, laptop, desktop, monitors, headphones, and everything else would be reasonable. The way we interact with tech today is a

Not to mention the separation it would give you working from home / or wherever. You could disengage from your whole work environment by taking off your headset, and have a very minimal tech setup outside that space. It would be a clea

I will use VR when I can put on my headset, anywhere, and be transported to my "desk". I want to be able to take documents and move them around in VR, read them, put them on my "table", and then have apps that appear as

The average person does not want a tiny house or van life. So it’s not a well developed structure built for “the average person”. Tiny homes are the mobile home of this generation, except less widely adopted. But they will depreciate, widen

I think it’s up to the network owner to decide what should be blocked or allowed in their network. 1.1.1.3 (or 2) is a tool in the tool chest. Some people may find it too aggressive and don’t need to implement it, some may find it too conse

ROI heavily depends on the student. A college can be expensive and provide everything required for a good ROI (name brand, education opportunities, networking, internships) but still result in a low ROI if the student just expects to be han

It’s not about the cost in the charts you shared, it’s about the frequency (downtime / opportunity cost) and what’s involved: https://caredge.com/tesla/model-3/maintenance#schedule - Hertz could easily train

OK - I’ve seen this view thrown around on here as well. Do you think this translates to political influence? In other words, is the concern that social media can influence elections overblown?

The point of the regulation is that it would stop an economist (or anyone) from trading with non-public information. And it would be perfectly rational for an economist (or someone else) to trade a single stock if they had non-public inform

If someone asks a simple question, it’s great - because most likely executives will have the exact same question, but depending on your relationship with them, it could go a few ways (or more): 1) they just think you don’t get it because th

Yeah. I’d like to run for office one day, but I would need the wife fully on board and I don’t want it to impact the kid(s). I don’t post really anything on social media, but I do have this account. I believe that if I do run for office tha

And if it had worked as they thought it would, it would have been totally worth it. It’s a different level of money altogether, but 300M is a small amount of 715 BN dollars in the DoD budget planned for FY 2022. But when you’re operating at

Having lived in Cambridge for a year, the shortest path is not always the most efficient path due to stoplights and traffic. It's a bit like UPS only making right turns. Also, there are streets that you would totally avoid if you need
