But how many corporate IT purchase decisions are made by the 'nerds' in IT? I know that in my former F500 company, I sat next to the person who made those decisions, Dell was sending him free stuff all the time. If Framework can n

Have you ever "shopped around" for health insurance? Maybe ACA people do, but amongst 2 or 3 giant companies on the exchange..whose prices, features, benefits, etc. are basically the same. Further, most bigger companies self-insur

Part of the 'avoiding taxes' equation here was giving the government (or setting aside) ~$600 million dollars to pay for oil spill related problems. So I mean she did avoid paying income tax, but only by giving up $600 million dol

Ohh, he is literally talking about a USB-c port on the back of the graphics card. That port isn't Thunderbolt, nor has it ever been advertised as such. It's a weird port meant for Virtual Reality....so yea not sure what to say abo

GPU and Thunderbolt compatibility is not a thing. Thunderbolt exposes the Raw PCI Express lane (in or out I guess). Your laptop or motherboard might not, but many of us over on egpu.io have used all recent a videos cards over Thunderbolt ju

if you buy a quality charger, that actually follow the usb-c specs, you don’t need to know. When Lenovo wants $50 for a charger and you grab a $15 one off Amazon, don’t be overly surprised when it doesn’t follow the specs and cuts corners.

Ahh, this is why one must be careful when responding to seemingly random people on hacker news, there's a pretty good chance the CEO, head researcher , worlds fore-most expert on the topic, etc. is actually here reading the article. :)

you do realize that the public school system in america had had pseudo-mandatory vaccines for a while now right? In fact, the list of vaccines required has changed over time even! Somehow we all managed to cope with that for the past 20 or

I completely agree. A frugal 30/40 something can have 1.2m net worth mostly locked up behind 401k and home value. Both of which do nothing for that persons daily life. Can’t unlock home equity because they need a place to live. Not unl

Initially this started internally at the US Government. Probably mostly the NSA, but then the vernacular spread. Kinda useful when having conversations to say "Cranky Frog" and not "China special operations group 304 PLA #12

So that is fair, but I'm certain that there is a (large?) group of players who would pay $$ / month to have this expensive computation done server-side, IF it means cheating drops to nothing. Stadia (and similar) can render entire

Yep I am in the US. The "whitelisting" option wasn't exactly easy to find. You have to login to the kids app as an adult, setup a special kid profile, activate that profile, THEN whitelist. I remember getting pretty frustrate

We have 50+ years of history on vaccines, billions of doses, etc. That history of research says this: If "symptoms" don't show up within 6 weeks, they don't really show up at all. That is to say, with ALL other vaccines

I would love for them to go NPR style on ads. If you listen to an NPR radio station (at least here in my area), basically anyone can run a radio ad, but it has to be about 10 seconds max and it is delivered by the on-air personality. "

All of the major providers wholly own a MVNO now. The only difference is that during times of congestion you are not first line. Other than that it is probably the same billing systems, policies, etc. Unless you need to be first priority on

Is it really that bad that they apply slightly different sets of rules to accounts with more notoriety? For example, do we (as facebook consumers) want newly created accounts with @hotmail email treated the same as a new account with @doj.g

This kind of ignores IPO's, SPACs and secondary (or whatever they are called) offerings. All of those things introduce "new" stock into the market.

But who was complaining about google and microsoft doing the cloud scanning? I don’t mind my one drive being scanned for “bad stuff”, I very much mind my personally owned data stores being scanned, with no opt out.

How would you feel if you were going to a job as a writer, and the interviewee asked you to put a story, poem, etc. down on a napkin, with a crayon? Like thats how I would feel writing code into freakin google docs during a job interview...

I think most would agree we are in bubble-ish territory, but what do you do? Most advice says 2 things. 1. impossible to time the market. 2. time in market beats all things. So you can't just pull your money out. Even with a 20% correc
