There’s something called a substantive transformation test in copyright law. When you write a summary of a book, you don’t infringe on copyright because it’s a “substantial transformation”. This goes along with the idea that you can copyrig

Yeah, some of the Apple pages are pretty bad too, and I feel Jobs would've kept it more minimal. But to me, this blog is worse because it's supposed to showcase a whole article, and it's hard to read (and not even compatible

Steve Jobs used to say the problem with Microsoft is they don’t have taste. The font-shimmering effect on scroll immediately reminded me of that, it is really distracting. And you can’t use reader mode to disable it. (FWIW, I’m a fan of Bil

For a long time, the US wanted such back doors too. When did that change?

This is an excellent article, and SaaS Pegasus is a great solution for people starting a project. But some of the advice here is dated. The architectural patterns are still valid, but the specifics have changed: * Vite instead of create-rea

It’s been fascinating to watch this play out with the drone stories in NJ too. Despite all our amazing tech, we still can’t tell truth from fiction.

If VCs are giving you money they want you to try to become a large public company, so maybe no amendment is needed?

Oh that sounds useful. Basically bypass the grid and just power an ac directly. Do you have any examples of units like this?

In California we pay a lot more for transmission than generation. Is that true in most places ?

It’s hard to wrap your head around how cheap solar is getting. Only get 1/4 as much sunlight? Just deploy 4x the panels!

The free market theory still works with the barriers, it’s just that the “excess profits” have to get even higher before someone steps in to build.

What does dual licensing AGPL/MIT do? Isn’t the MIT license more permissive in all cases?

That all makes sense, it sounds like you haven’t ruled out supporting TS directly in production, but it’s complex and you have to move carefully and you’re not sure if you’ll get all the way there. Is that right ?

Could you expand on why transpiling is the right long-term strategy for production? I get that right now you don't support some TS-specific features like enums. Is that the concern? Those seem like a few legacy exceptions, new TS capab

At first I thought that's not a big deal, I could manage that with `nvm`. But I think you're right, you really want it to pick up the project-specific typescript so that you're using ONE version of typescript for type checkin

I wonder if they can evolve this into an autologous stem cell transplant: take a patient's own bone marrow sample, do the genetic mutation, and insert it back? It avoids the graft-versus-host issues of using stem cells from another per

The same thing happened to TCP/IP stacks in the 90s (and multiple alternate transport protocols). They were initially separate products, sold by different companies. Then TCP/IP was bundled into the OS in ~Windows 3.1. By today&#x

Love the UI. Good educational tool for founders. If only building the company and going through all those funding rounds was as easy!

The weight of the battery won’t affect the energy needed to keep a car at a steady highway speed. The energy needed is just whatever losses come from friction, air resistance, etc

The biggest loss at highway speeds is actually wind. I think wind resistance goes up with the cube of speed. As a result, electric cars are more efficient in typical city driving. You can see it in the MPG stickers , which are higher in cit
