That’s comically cheap. The gaggia classic, arguably king of the entry level espresso, is that same price. They could release it at $900 (MSRP of Rancilio Silvia) and easily sell a million if it’s worth it. I’d guess they could easily start

It’s also possible to be more liberal than your parents were with respect to expecting teenage experimentation but still want to know why your kid/spouse isn’t home within an hour of when you expected them and they aren’t responding to

I have OAS/mild latex allergy and cantaloupe/honeydew are pretty terrible, and avocado was a bit bad too (worse when paired with acid e.g. guac) My wife eats a lot of avocado being from south america and that part went away, and t

Definitely their goal is to stop people from playing trumpets and instead play angry birds. Somebody who worked on this ad probably feels passionately about one of the things which was crushed, and thought it would just be a fun ad. Sure, m

Before hacker news, for me, there was the electrical audio forums. It was probably one of the most interesting places on the internet, and of course Steve with his hat avatar was a big part of that.

No there’s not -JWST is largest mirror in orbit and it is a few meters smaller, despite being many smaller mirrors. The mirror size is largely due to a tunnel size on the way to the summit in Chile, and applies to the other nearby telescope

Maybe not “easy” but it was straightforward in comparison to much of the other things on the project. It was done in the U of A mirror lab and it’s a pretty well-defined process to build these mirrors, with a small exception for this mirror

It’s 189 sensors from two different manufacturers built in 9-sensor rafts, which are tested before integration into the full focal plane, which is then tested again. Then you can do pinhole images before eventually integrating in with the l

There should be extremely stiff penalties for price collusion and per-market limits on the portfolio size of both owners and property management companies. I know in SF some of the bigger companies weren’t allowed to buy any more big buildi

I think most “Tech Bros” rarely live outside of a few neighborhoods as well - SOMA, Mission/Mission Bay, Marina (rarer) or Pac Heights for the executives. Much of the city has issues and it spills into the other neighborhoods, but camp

There was a clear leader 18 months ago. Then there was a lot of catchup by everyone. It’s no longer “hard” build a product like ChatGPT + GPT 3.5, and that would include creating the model. There’s a few trade secrets, but it seems like not

It might be but you need to appreciate at least 15% over the time you buy it to beat closing costs and (likely in these markets) home prep costs/staging. If you know you’re going to be there 5 years it’s probably a safe bet, but the va

The incidence of cosmic rays is biased vertically, especially close to sea level where you get more muons than electrons, so that is one thing you would want to think about - you’d want to maximize your surface area toward that because your

It’s definitely a combination of airbnb/tourism/digital nomads on the low end, and the rich buying shit up on the high end, with both ends facing little international resistance, and pleasant places get hit hard.

It was being studied well before that. I think Tony Tyson had the design in the 90s. I know serious work started around 2003 with the creation of LSST Corporation. Funding dripped in with some stimulus aid, and then ~2014 was when much of t
