No, he’s referring to drilling a 3rd hole in the frame of an ar-15 in order to install and auto-sear and convert it to fully automatic.

I'm usually one to loathe the use of this word, but is there anything more privileged than casually suggesting "raising investment money from friends and family". It's surely rarified air one breathes when you can casual

Everybody should keep a spiral bound atlas in their car. The dependence we are all discussion on GPS will be _really_ painful in the event of a crisis when your cell service stops working and you can't find your way home from 2 miles a

Of course not. Both parties use it at all levels of government. Getting rid of it only helps non-politicians, ergo politicians will never support it (unless they are losing).

As I understand it, this is not permitted under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Is that correct? I would think that certain licenses do permit this (MIT possibly?). Could anybody with knowledge chime in?

You should start thinking of your own time this way. Everyone has an hourly rate, how much do you spend solving problems like this?

What you are describing is “easy” if it’s something you practice regularly. It would easily take me, an advanced SWE an hour to learn the process from scratch or re-learn after not thinking about the system for 18 months. $120/year pa

I'm baffled at the response in these HN comments. There are currently thousands of life coaches and influences all over the internet who tell people to do these exact type of morning aspiration journals. There is nothing abnormal in th

Daily affirmations and goals like this are part of nearly every self help system on the market. This is straight out of a Tony Robbins style life success guide.

YMMV, software engineers can usually get away with murder. It really all depends on how you frame it. I probably used terminology like “taking meetings with” instead of “interviewing at”. Just make sure it’s not with competitive companies

I had a strategy for this that I frequently recommend to people. Back when I was "in the game" and living in NYC, I used to take 1-2 interviews per month despite being happy in my then current role. I was up front with current and

I have a somewhat contrarian perspective to your #1/2. Instead of starting with an idea, start with a market. Maybe even a problem in that market. Then go out and have as many conversations as possible with people in that market to rea

Doesn’t seem that thought provoking. Winning chess tournaments isn’t a scalable solution to any problem.

While you’re probably right on the zeitgeist aspect of this, I think you’re missing the practical aspects of what OP is talking about. We have major vulnerabilities to key infrastructure components. Publicly exposing these helps harden them

I learned this bit of insight from you directly several years ago and reflect on it often. The first thing you did when we sat down was start grilling me on my views of tech trends and emerging areas of innovation. I was caught a bit off gu
