We have Nest cameras, and the basic 30 day recording service is $80/year (though we have 2 doorbell cameras and 6 other cameras around the property) so for us its a good value, and $60/device under ring would be crazy. But if yo

This is what everyone forgets. What’s worse is “inflation” showing maybe that wage growth catching up to prices maybe what is slowing. It takes some finesse to see what is really happening

It’s not just the apps. I know I have a problem with checking Hacker News and another very low tech discussion site (local to my area, basically a 2003 website). The discussions are very pertinent to my daily life, unvarnished, and the clie

Did they really invest in Rogan and podcasts just to keep their existing customers? I thought it was to entice podcast connoisseurs to the Spotify platform, who WILL care about podcast listening experience?

Well, Netflix was famous for firing when the business need had passed. You have a seat in company for what you will do, not what you have done. These high speed trading platforms do a ton of transactions in 48 hours. They assume nothing mat

Interestingly, I came from a very modest family (rural south, one parent was a teacher, the other disabled), so I never knew how expensive “city” life would be that most professionals aspire to. So I was mostly interested in interesting and

Snap still isn’t consistently profitable right? So I guess in that sense it bucks the trend of tech layoffs from healthy and record profit companies. It looks like it is getting close to profitability, if it shrinks staff enough it should

That’s an interesting change, from when I graduated two decades ago. I remember I did not want to work for defense contractor and wanted to work on worthwhile work like NASA or something. Course is early-Internet, and I had no idea how expe

Do you have kids? What is keeping you up late? My kids are older and don’t go to sleep until 10 (I’m often out driving them around until 930). Finally when everyone is asleep, I finally have “my time” — which is still intended for projects

Where do you live now with cheap childcare? We live in a DC suburb, and daycare was at least $1600/kid (we have 3, though only 2 at a time in daycare), and when they were infants it’s $2k.

The old Kenmore was probably built by Whirlpool in a US factory. GE cafe is a rebranded Haier fridge from a Chinese factory. We bought a Samsung (would have preferred LG) fridge 4 years ago and have not needed a single repair. But it is pr

I wonder if Lewis is going through a rough patch professionally because of the recent tragedy he suffered — his daughter died in an automobile accident. I would not be surprised if it made him more sympathetic to a “young kid” at this point

My kids definitely form stronger and fonder memories from vacations than from more mundane days together. I think the break from routine and generally more pleasant setting alone is a big factor, so even just taking them to a national park

In high school I would take hand written history notes and then type them up at night (I was a touch typists in the 90s when it was relatively rare — today’s kid type blinding fast). This gave me a really amazing recall for the notes, and o
