There are very few cases in which outsiders with power will act on “intelligence” from a 7 person startup. You are like the government of Palau — nobody cares what you’re doing — your problems are much bigger than getting your stuff cloned.

I wonder why Magnus has fixated on 2900. It's sort of a dumb goal for someone at his level because it's out of his control. He can win a lot of games but if his opponents don't win their games that aren't against him the

It's like they jotted down what they heard from a bullhorn at a protest and typed it up.

The degradation of the Academy should, by all logic, create an opening for a competitor. What is that competitor and what does it look like?

I suppose, I just don't use it that way. Have never printed something that I downloaded except for testing purposes. I use the printer to make stuff that I need around the house, like a bracket to hold my electric toothbrush charger to

Owning a 3D printer without knowing basic CAD seems pointless beyond description.

Maybe shut down the southern border and instead admit more H1Bs? And use some judgment instead of a lottery. Someone who's been a manager at Microsoft is obviously a better bet than a TCS bodyshopper.

This will just shake out into a market like anything else. Some companies will be remote, some companies will be in person, some people will be remote, some people will be in person, and for the more in-demand companies and employees they w

I already put my kids in a software driven car every day. It has automatic cruise control, automatic lane keeping, and automatic emergency braking. I don't trust Tesla's Autopilot yet but as soon as there is a self-driving car whi

Who else would? I've never bought a raffle ticket. The friends and families of the beneficiaries are probably the only people even entering the raffle in the first place.

> low reliability, low build quality These are improving at an astonishing rate, like a Web app rather than a car. Yes, this means the first ones were so bad they really shouldn’t have been shipped. But the newer models (of Y especially,

This is a free website. How would you make it worth the author’s while to spend more effort to make it more performant?

I would think that someone with the tenacity to spend a year designing a keyboard would have enough grit that a few Comic Book Guy comments would not demoralize them.

Anything that requires physical space is expensive to deliver. So you need to have a high perceived value. My guess is no devices is not enough. It would have to be like no devices + sauna or no devices + massage or no devices + luxurious b

When your company is making billions of dollars a year from mobile apps it makes sense to have native teams. React Native is for development efforts with fewer resources.

I can see it. I bought a $90K SUV when we went to three kids. I know I didn’t need to spend that much but I did, and it felt like a cost of the kid.

When Fauci said there’s no need to wear a mask in February, I was buying up N95s. When the CDC waited six months to declare COVID airborne, the rest of the world knew it was. When schools shut down, any discerning parent could tell that the

I couldn’t possibly care less what does or doesn’t happen to Apple. I’m just saying that “I won’t work at Apple!” hardly has any impact on Apple and thus on its decisionmaking.

I’m not defending them. This is just a market transaction. Apple is hiring from a smaller supply pool but outside of a Jony Ive level VP there is nobody they really need to hire.

Yes but this places a task on someone, to decide when they're open to be interrupted or not. This places that work on them, and makes them do this work whether or not someone wants to interrupt them. In the office scenario, I as the in
