Time to build a squarespace competitor! I remember TravisCI being bought by PE. As soon as announcement came out, we migrated out of it just in time before they jacked up the prices 2X. Don't know where TravisCI is nowadays.

Vote when all the choices are oldies? Senate is the oldest it’s ever been. Many over retirement age. We’ll be voting on two ~80 year olds as presidents who both can’t run a 100m sprint. There are less young every year.

Not everyone has billions of dollars lying around. SpaceX couldn’t have beaten ULA if that was the case. The truth is no one has the physical AI algorithm yet. Having cars equipped with cameras, big GPUs connected to can bus is the easy par

Biden’s gonna forgive the loans. It is free money from faucet. That is one policy that turns me off. Sure you could have forgiven interest on loan or lowered it. Why doll out free money? Same with PPP loans that never got paid by millions o

Demand vs supply. Law of nature. Prices are high because consumers are willing to still spend at that prices. Restaurants are still making a big buck. Travel, entertainment - they’re all booming! One of the bigger issues is the rich get ric

The problem with consciousness is most people have varying definitions of what they mean by it. Most don’t even believe any other animals other than humans can be conscious. Or that computers can be conscious.

You get what you pay for. AirBnb isn’t cheap. Rando fees, poor support, 100 ways to lose your money to Scams. AirBnB stock is doing well, that means people are buying what they have to sell. Even if people occasionally get shit. Demand meet

The stress ball emoji getting destroyed with its eyes popping up. That was real depressing. That’s how it feels when inflation made basics jump up 50% and it feels you’re being slowly crushed. Seeing this is an Ad for one of the world’s ric

Take the Apple Ad in Contrast to the Microsoft Ad that aired during Super Bowl. The whole time I thought it was an Apple Ad and then it was Microsoft Copilot ad. The made me dream, made me feel I could do more. The ad was about the viewer.

The topic about free will is similar to debating “are we in a simulation?” In a perfect simulation, there is absolutely no way to escape it. A simulation is essentially like a virtual machine running some opcodes. There is absolutely no way

It’s natural for human brain to find explanations for the supernatural. We are born with a “God” placeholder in our brain, just as infinity is a concept. The idea that consciousness is 5th fundamental force sounds great but doesn’t make any

Exactly. Dropbox was cloud and then later moved to on-prem to save on storage costs. Anyone running >1000 servers with >80% utilization should consider going partially colocated. Comma.ai and Tesla come to mind who run their own train

I'm impressed with the map component in canvas. It's very smooth, dynamic zoom and google-maps like. Gonna dig more into it. Exemplary Show HN! We need more of this.

It was the most prosperous time to be alive. Boomers, their kids and grand kids were the wealthiest generation compared to their parents. Their great grand children though, sucks to be them.

When I saw Avengers Endgame, seeing Thanos eradicate 50% of population for his perspective of “greater good” was chilling. With escalated tensions between super powers, I fear one crazy dictator may push a button to drop a nuke at a popula

Biden could make it a law to show final price. But it's hard to get through senate and congress. The other part is even if they make it a law, the courts are backlogged for years. US corporations are pretty good at breaking laws and ma

Surveillance isn't about porn or violence from video games. It's about having power to control the population. To find people who may be a threat.

So much hyperbole from recent Google releases. I wish they didn't hype AI so much, but I guess that's what people want to hear, so they say that.

Apple should but under Tim Cook, Apple could? I feel Tim Cook is going down the same rabbit hole as Steve Ballmer, chasing ways to juice the iPhone/iOS cash cow. And now with dividends, it's an aim at spiking the stock price while

I am awaiting the day when a trillion transistors will be put on a mobile device chewing 5W of peak power. It's going to be a radical future.

P/E are the new hedgefunds. Private, not much regulation and then can load up the companies they buy on massive amount of debt and juice. One single game - who can make the number go up the fastest. People be damned
