It's probably not you, it's just badly structured legacy code, and you're trying to understand it all like you wrote it. Been there, it sucks. Find someone who worked on it and have them explain it to you like you're a 5

In those parts of the globe where it makes sense to use solar, and during the day, yes. For everything else, you need a way to store the energy that can be measured in weeks, not hours. You also need to transport it. And you need to stabili

Crossfit. And bodybuilding of course. Seriously, I had the same question when I read that.

Trying to be objective, isn't downsizing what all tech companies are doing? There's a lot of PR mismanagement here, but it seems to be in line with the rest for the moment (leaving aside EM bs). And Twitter is no Meta. There are n

With what money? He alienated all sponsors because anyone can successfully impersonate any brand in there now, and he's already spent >40b just to buy the damn thing.

He's not spending it, but he invested it. So the money is still growing. Virtuous would be to just give the money away to those he loved or needed that money (I'm not saying he should do that, I'm just following your logic).

Is this a good thread to recommend the movie "The Man From Earth"? Awesome sci-fi about living forever, made with just a bunch of people talking in a small room.

My father in law is one of those. He has more money than he can spend until he dies even if he raised his standard of living 10 times. Yet he refuses to spend it, and would rather be cold during winter than turning up the heater. I don&#x27

Cool idea, though I'd consider covering all bases in that implementation, and take into account that this website might be dead long before I will be.. ;)

Would swimming work as well? I can see myself doing some laps really fast that will leave me panting by the poolside after 50 mts.

Nice approach. It looks like social facilitation is becoming a widespread solution now that remote working is widespread. I started using Focusmate[0] last week and found it incredibly useful. You can schedule a 25/50 minutes session,

I think the point was that you can't ignore it, not that it doesn't matter. Clickbaity title for sure.

I don't see anything wrong there. He got paid to make an ad, and it's clear that's what it is. If he was promoting FTX on his own personal account like so many "influencers" do, then I would be ok criticizing him.

It won't. Because the resources are going to be more expensive, and between "going green" (if they can even afford it) but being miserable, or burning coal (or gas if you're lucky) but improving your living standards, pe

Software services are at the top of the pyramid. You need a lot of other things to be in the right place for software services to happen. You need to be able to have electricity, infrastructure, food, and an educated population. That's

They've been trying to steal it and produce it themselves for years. Are they somehow going to get better at it now? Nobody cares about international scorn unless you target someone who matters or that someone who matters cares about.

I agree with your conclusion, but not for those reasons. It'll be over because the cheap resources that enabled that growth will not be there anymore (unless there's a major technological change like cold fusion or something like
