Plumbing. I’m from a developing country and when I moved to USA the plumbing here makes me feel super impressed. Somehow it works.

make them bone conduction headphone style so your friends can be literally inside your head, and integrate the mic so it’s a small form factor. I’ll take 1% equity for that suggestion thanks

Why not aim for the moon? Honestly wish we'd invest in moving a lot of toxic manufacturing processes over to the moon (I'm sure way smarter people than me can figure out a way to make those processes work in that different environ

I use TomTom’s API services in conjunction with google maps API because it is way more cost effective. I use google maps sdk on mobile because generally the data is much better quality for POI than Apple Maps, but doing geocoding is a lot m

Thank you, I will def reach out. I am using 3 languages because I originally started this project using nodeJS+pg backend + flutter mobile apps. I've been experimenting with a lot of stuff as well, at one point switching to Go because

Hey that’s awesome. I’m also learning elixir and I deployed ejabberd for chat. I switched to phoenix channels for chat to have a lot more control. What are your thoughts on that? Any suggestions or articles or code repos you can link me for

That’s so cool! Hey if you don’t mind since you built it, what are the advantages of PWA vs native/flutter mobile app? I’ve been messing with SwiftUI/Kotlin and recently switched to flutter earlier this year. Thanks and congrats !

I think the "blue check" verification on Twitter is its most powerful asset. The most important people in the world (culture icons, heads of state & companies, and subject matter experts) congregate there to share their though

Social media has destroyed people’s ability (at least in western world) to have IRL interpersonal communications. I find not only myself but many of my peers struggle with this. Online is easy to be in an echo chamber where nothing actually

I really like QR codes when it just leads to a simple static site with the menu. Wouldn't mind if that site was a tad more advanced also let me place an order that goes into some order queue. Also wouldn't mind if that site can te

You’re not wrong. They purposefully funneled opium into China to get their silver bullion to open up trade, whilst also destroying an entire generation. Destruction of people was basically the EIC’s MO.

Honestly this kind of stuff is why I don’t travel to such places. Im sure they’re beautiful and whatever but I’d rather go spend time in an advanced country like Japan. The constant guilt tripping is not fun.

As each of these subscription services have gotten worse, I’ve ended my contracts with each one and I’m probably way happier this way. I’m not overloaded by content, and I feel a more enjoyable sense of discovery when I go looking on purpos

Is photography dead? Back like 20 years ago everyone was so into it. Nowadays our smartphones take fine photos. It’s kind of sad to see only one or two people with SLRs at any “vista point” I visit because it brings back memories of talking

I think it’s the fallacy of being in the tech industry. Before I got into “tech” aka a software engineer job I thought how cool that people work together on OS projects and build interesting tools and hack some random device to run doom. Th

I feel like standardized tests are way more fair than GPA. I personally struggled a lot in school due to health and other issues. I also hated doing homework which is BS work, and I always had high scores on my midterms and finals which I t

Sure but if a propagandized population is hellbent in what they believe, they are a danger. Just because they have been brainwashed doesn’t mean we should let our guard down out of pity. It should make us more alarmed because they would act

I wish companies would be run in a way that removes insane leveling completely. In my current company there are 7 or 8 levels (depending how you look at it) for ICs. Why? IME it has led to so much “talk” and bloat, and useless meetings led
