I really like the remote. It has mute and volume and like swiping on the top rather than clicking. I like that it’s aluminum, doesn’t take batteries, and is bluetooth (or at least doesn’t require line of site). It’s the longest lasting of a

I run Plex and am pretty happy. Will likely eventually switch to Jellyfin as Plex is getting lamer and lamer.

I think GP was talking about the hardware AppleTV, not the streaming service AppleTV (which are stupidly named).

I was an early roku user and ditched them because they’ve sucked for 10+ years. Their players have been trash and had poor support. Amazing they got $22B and tivo must be really kicking itself.

If someone mails in my absentee ballot and I don’t complain, how do you detect that voter fraud? Or if someone knows their friend is sick and votes without an id, how do you detect that? It seems like there are currently many ways to vote i

And some sites seem to have it not work. I suspect there’s lazy programmers with hardcoded test cases. But that’s like 1:100 or so. And usually I’m entering my address to a robot so it’s not an issue.

I do something similar with prepend.com and find it helpful for sorting. Also fun to see which domains sell my email and which dont (blacksocks.com hasn’t show up from anyone else in 20 years).

Losing google ecosystem is a bonus for me and is the main reason I want to leave. Google has been slowly sucking more and more each year and I have to spend mental energy figuring out how they are trying to screw me over or bill me for some

Sometimes there will be a delay while git rebuilds the index and pulls everything down. But its never affected my commits or anything substantial.

Good point. There’s lots of kinds of negative work. I was thinking more of people burning stuff down. There’s also people burning the furniture for immediate warmth. And there’s people you mention who are doing things that look good but hav

It’s hard to tell. I’ve worked on projects with 50 programmers and it seemed many did nothing and a few did negative work. We went through a round of layoffs and I had to “finish” another programmer’s work. It was a java app with servlets a

This viz is superficially neat, but hard to get info out of. It seems like a demo in a movie. What did you like most about it?

I keep my code in OneDrive. I probably have hundreds of repos cloned and active. Been going like this since like 2018 or so. I’ve never had problems except for warnings about deleting lots of filed when I git branch or checkout or whatever.

Thanks for your note. I’ve wanted to get off gmail for years and your description answered many nagging questions I had been too lazy to look up. I switched my domain over to fastmail and have been using it for the past hour and seems promi

I like using the webui because my mailbox is too large to pull down locally and it’s easier to handle through the web. I also have it pulling to local clients that just keep a few messages. Maybe 30% of the time is webui. Has worked well fo

> you might get rich, but not wealthy What do you mean by this? It seems pretty likely to be wealthy by investing in these indices. Certainly a “normal” worker who started investing $10k/year in SPY when it started in 1993 has enoug

The US population is projected to 385M in 2055. [0] What makes you think the population will dramatically shrink? Even if it did, the money would come from global investors who find the US more attractive than their home markets. [0] https

SpaceX would be the target of the lawsuits. Index funds/401ks are immaterial. Check out previous flops like Enron (only $60b) for examples of lawsuits.

Dogs went into space. Dogs are haram. Therefore, space is haram. Probably not this reasoning.

I used it. It doesn’t work as FSD. A driver has to pay attention and intervene. Can’t sleep. Can’t read a book. Can’t look at the scenery going by. It’s still super neat and I like it. But it’s not FSD, and I suspect why fewer than 10% of t

Space is raising $75B at an expected valuation of $750B so the Twitter value is just 5% of SpaceX’s IPO valuation and if it goes up then the fraction gets smaller. Is 5% a footnote, maybe.

I’m guessing the valuation is just youtube bs/hype. 10-15x earnings seems pretty massive. But perhaps there is more money in the used lego market than I thought.

How is this company, BAM Franchising Inc, valued at $400M? They aren’t publicly traded so it’s hard to find out. It seems like there’s almost no employees and they collect a franchising fee and 6% royalty on the 200+ franchises that BAM cla

Lets say McDonalds charges $2000 for a BigMac. If they offer a deal and sell it to you for $200, did you save $1800? Maybe if you spend $2000 on a BigMac. But it’s unlikely you would buy such a burger. What is a hamburger worth? Don’t look

Really, because I’ve been working to move off gmail for 5 years and it’s slim pickings. I’ve tried fastmail, protonmail, outlook and they all suck. Gmail is probably the only google account I still use.
