I know some people don't re-read. But I do. And I have read Moon is A Harsh Mistress well over 20 times. Yes Paul, it ages well.

I took this literally until I read the article. No mention of SpaceX selling rockets at all. Just business as usual selling launches.

Not for my purposes I am afraid. SIC codes tell you very little about what a modern company does. Oracle for instance has SIC Code 7371 - Computer Programming Services.

Very impressed. I am working on a global directory of all cyber security vendors. As an industry analyst one of the first things I do is search things like Pitchbook, Crunchbase, or CBInsights, for categories of companies. Sadly, categorizi

Great reasoned argument. I have been paying annual renewals of 50 domains for over 15 years. I fall into the sunk cost fallacy every time they come up for renewal. Anyone want to buy a great domain?

It's just a damn ice sheet. I don't see how this is a disaster.

Lotteries. Government monopolies aside, the problems with lotteries is trust. How can you be sure the organizer really pays out the winnings to the ticket holder who bought the winning number. In a public ledger you could verify all that an

I have been thinking about applying GP3 to manuscript scoring. Better yet, line up manuscripts with similar books already published. Then publishers or agents could get a constant stream of submissions that they are likely to accept. The wr

OK, I have a question that has been bugging me for years. How do these Romans shave? Finely stropped bronze blades that must dull immediately? Did they pluck their whiskers?

Sure it would. Skimp and save until you can invest $100 using Robin Hood. Put it all at risk. Guess right and double your money in less than 12 months. That's when you find out that the government (in the US) takes a 20% cut of your w

What they describe sounds to me exactly like standard architecture for combining PoPs and peering with backbone providers. What am I missing?

I definitely need this. Looks like I have to wait until you are off the front page of HN though. I am a writer and found that the best editing comes when I am reviewing audio files of my books from voice talent. Of course, then it is way to

For me the secret to happiness is to produce things. Or said another way: be productive. Make something. If you have a job where you make things you are good to go. Homes, cars, ships (in my case in my youth). If you sit at a desk all day p

When I designed car seats we optimized them for the federal tests. The biggest load on a seat back was represented by a large 95% man leaning back to get at his wallet. We were ready for production when the car had it's first sled tes

I became an accomplished juggler thanks to your first book! Thanks you! Question: I have had an idea for a Klutz-like book that I want to move forward with. Do you know if Scholastic takes submissions for the Klutz line?

Well, proponents of the electric universe theory have an interesting explanation. First of all: lighting is not caused by clouds rubbing together. It is a result of the protective capacitance layer in the upper atmosphere leaking. Sprites a

Agree in general that speaking is good for your career and developing your presentation mojo. As is writing/blogging. But watch out for the food and alcohol. I gained 50 pounds on the speaking circuit. That said there is a value discon

I like the explanation that IF gives your body a chance to go into ketosis. And, by extension, a keto diet provides the same benefits as IF. Combining the two is easy since in my experience you rarely get hanger pangs when you don't ea

I was hoping this was a question about applying NLP to coding tasks, but based on the answers it is about voice to text for the special use case of coders. I am not a coder, I am a writer. I wonder why all these AI people are trying to crea

And another question: How can the Fed/Treasury pump Trillions of dollars into the economy with apparently zero concern for inflation? My grade school understanding is that every dollar "printed" devalues all the money by that

I too am on a once a day sprint. I use a similar technique. I have one Scrivener project for my posts. I create a folder/doc for each topic I want to write about, usually 5-15 ahead of where I am. In each one I jot down the idea. As th
