This acquisition is a prime example of what the future of food is going to look like. It’s interesting how food has been one of the last major consumer categories to be eaten by software. But it’s finally happening! Three simultaneous chan

I would not recommend the upper berths. You have just a bed behind a curtain. For the trip with my dad I got us each a single sleeper cabin. I think it was $1,500 each, and having your own little room to go to was great to have. The trip wa

Oh, and more impressive to me is the footage out of the Jedi Transition: https://youtu.be/d9HqVXGRJL0 For those who don’t know, about 3.5 hours from Los Angeles you can go see a ton of amazing jet fighters coming back or go

There’s plenty of reason to be critical of the F-35, but wow I loved reading this article. The two things that really stood out to me: 1. The F-35s top feature is situational awareness, essentially the way in which it processes and displays

This is complicated. Anti-vax, flat earth and other ideologies masked as science have turned into virus', distributed over social. At the same time, people with all sorts of ideologies are shouting down facts they don't agree with

I have conflicting thoughts about Oculus' domination. Last night was an interesting example, Facebook went down and took Oculus with it. But beyond that, if this is going to be the platform of the future, we're going to need more

I bootstrapped a VR company (1) after leaving a high paying CMO job. I put in around $100k, we released three games, one got some funding from HTC, we were shown at GDC, SIGGRAPH, VRLA, etc. We hit around 2,700 MAU before my co-founder tapp

You can't "fall" for a metabolic state. While there are plenty of people pushing faux keto diets as a means to sell you something you don't need, putting yourself into a metabolic state is a biological reality.

“Value is tied to scarcity, and scarcity on social networks derives from proof of work," says Wei in his article. On Instgram, TikTok, etc, the status is earned through work IE posting a highly liked photo. TikTok dancing is hard, and

This was a stunning video. I realized about 18 minutes in that this video itself was part of a multi domain human influence campaign. Then 23 minutes in, he asks it outright “is this video a weapon?”. As someone who spend a lot of time thin

While I have a frequency bias, I’ve never experienced more delays and outright cancelations than LAX-SFO. Southwest on this route seem particularly bad. I was excited, and voted for, the HSR.

Most likely a Dexcom G6. But if you are interested in testing yourself, get this: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Glucose-Monitoring-Freestyl... You extract a pin drop of blood and it shows your glucose in a few seconds.

UI is exactly why I prefer Slack over Discord as well. I run a Discord server for a game of mine with a few hundred people, and often have to force myself to use it. That said, I used to feel the same way about Reddit.

Small groups are for sure becoming popular. I’m surprised that your daughter is doing that through Discord vs a messenger app. Is she a gamer?
