> Compare a Porsche 911 versus Corolla on a track and see which one is actually more reliable after 20 hard laps. This is what I read. I'd still put money on the Toyota if the test is not blowing up.

Counterpoint: Porsches are notoriously horrible in 24 hours of lemons. These are mostly 924, 944 and boxsters. For 18+ hours of w2w racing I'd take the Corolla. In any case, apples and oranges. Porsche seems to build reliable stuff com

Why would they do that? If it's all out there in the open, then everyone can find bugs/issues and then they'd have to deal with them. Also they'd probably lose a lot of revenue they collect from fines. Personal anecdote

I agree it seems overblown. I haven't encountered a site that doesn't work. Even google meet and zoom's web client work great. Not sure what all the fuss is about. It's a great browser. Chrome got very, very aggravating

Easy to see how humans would join a non profit for the vibes, and then when they create one of the most compelling products of the last decade worth billions of dollars, quickly change their thinking into "wait, i should get rewarded f

(I realize kraken is not a publicly traded company, but...) I want a reverse ETF of companies that sponsor Formula 1 teams, as they seem to attract lots of bottom feeders.

This is a very interesting attitude. Have you at all considered your impact on others?

It's funny that popup headlights were banned in the name of pedestrian safety. But we can't tax SUVs and trucks proportional to the amount of damage they inflict on the populous and the environment because...well that would be har

Yea, I think they "won" out in the discourse over the last ~5 years, but I'm convinced it was another ZIRP phenomenon that will quickly fade as belts get tightened. When money rains down like mana from the heavens, sure, go a

It doesn't have a major corporate sponsor, which is probably why. It's a very active community, though.

There are two cardinal rules in logo design: it should not look like a dick, and it should not look like a swastika. Somehow they did both. Kind of impressive tbh.

In and of itself, no. But this case goes deeper than that. There were repurcussions if lessors deviated from the price mandate. That's just a cartel, plain and simple.

I'd hardly call "Series E" a startup. Just a company that was bleeding money.

What's wrong with your existing payment processors? This type of existential thing seems to come up over and over again with stripe, I'm surprised people still want to use them.

If I get served a goatse image, I never return to that website. The website wants users, so yes, they're retaliating against the website. But yes, won't somebody think of the children.

Cargo culting happens regardless of language. It's true that fully meshed distribution won't fly for Google or Amazon scale. But 99% of companies will never get to that scale, despite what they'd like to believe. Fully meshed

There are lots of tutorials on how to do this with an Arduino and a Lora shield. It just appears as a serial device to the PC. Some friends and I use this type of setup in our car for telemetry in a low budget endurance racing series. It ha

A funny thing is that this can go N layers deep. At a previous job we had a DSL which was very well specified, pretty straight forward, and had been written by an exceptionally brilliant engineer (who was even still at the company!). We had
