Not sure why the downvotes; I basically have that experience too. iPhones work well for people who don't really use there phone that much. I basically run most of my businesses purely from the phone and the iPhone is at 20% when the An

We have been working for years now on a smalltalk like IDE and a language (which is as language not like smalltalk at all, but as runtime it is). When we went down the rabbithole of prior work (like smalltalk, lisp, etc), it is painful to n

Nothing new; just a lovely pass-the-turd fast so you don’t get caught in the inevitable crash.

I went over to android from iPhone fully after 2018. For work (apps) I needed an iPhone and the company shipped me a 13 max. Although I like the openness of the android a lot better (it’s not Linux but at least I can run a compiler on it),

Yep, every bot for sale is proof it doesn’t work. They do exist (at least for a length of time) but they are not for sale.

Ah, sorry about that! Thanks for clearing it up ; I read it differently. Then we agree. (it doesn't happen often online!)

Well, it's some type of digital proof that you 'own' the 'linked' thing. So in case you buy a NFT for a Rolex with serial number 1234, then this NFT proves you own that rolex. And then you can say, if I give you a f

Not the point; a digital asset is not comparable to a physical asset; the image the nft points to is the same bytes as the image he gave that image to others to prove a point. There is nothing at all fake about the second image; it is the

by tluyben2 4y ago
Not smart to compare a nft and the a link to the image the nft represents to a Rolex and a fake Rolex. That gives the ‘believers’ ammunition and it makes no sense. There is nothing fake or different about the 2 images, while fake Rolexes ar

The economy won’t stay depressed; you have time during the recession to build up, get ready while there is less competition or your competition is very weak. When the market moves up again, you can go full in. It is just a lot cheaper to do

Start a new business. Recessions are great for that especially if you already have funding or if you can bootstrap. Did it in 2001 and 2008 as well; great stuff. I would say though; be careful with with spending cash. Depending on your situ

That's why I have high hopes for (something like) the Frame.work; it should be possible to just get another keyboard 'part' which actually does have a trackpoint (and even no trackpad but other stuff theoretically). Someone,

Which is to say, never? I mean, sure there is a chance after Xi some open market president will appear, however, it is more likely, as all opposition is no longer in play, that it will get more closed and there will be more use for cryptocu

Not sure if it’s my circle, but you seem an exception. I live in a tiny village and haven’t touched cash for years (somewhere 2018), nor has anyone I know. Personally I hear what you are saying as I had my accounts frozen (in my country, yo

I think cryptocurrencies/nfts are crap and have no value, but to play devil’s advocate here; for all the people saying this is all doomed, the top cryptocurrency assets seem to more or less look like the tech market and BTC is doing be

Some of that? There are a lot of companies that raised 20m+ without any hope of ever paying that back and actually heavily depending on new rounds of funding to survive at all. This was all wrapped up as ‘pump everything in growth’ which

Someone will do it, but this is the second eInk article in a month or so from different people. If they only would spend their valuable time on making a screen for the Frame.work and post the schematics in GitHub. They can sell it and make

I would buy this indeed. I like working outside and it's not very good at the moment. I think projects like this should do this as Frame.work 'plug-ins' though. We really need some type of open 'shelf parts' company

My best startups were started in 2001 and 2008. I am doing a new one this year again. It is a good time for sure; enough choice of colleagues and employees and competitors (especially the growth oriented VC funded) dropping like flies.

Well, if you read the Twitter stuff for these ‘investors’, I don’t think it is very different. They got told by random gurus or ads it is a good idea (for investing) or the only way (‘because traditional finance sucks and you are doomed usi

Exactly, you can see that from the droves of people here who control their own thoughts and yet fully believe the only way to launch their own unfunded startup is by hosting it on aws on multi az clusters with all the latest crap paying 10k
