And what would you propose? I think just using a debit/credit card in any capacity would make it so someone is tracking your purchases.

I’d have to imagine a combination of more chargers, faster chargers, denser batteries (aka less charging), and very well lit areas will be needed to make female drivers feel safer. I’m not sure though. Perhaps we will see the gas station at

I feel like some of the issue/reason is because the government has to cover every single possible scenario. “Time to make a road. We better do a three year environmental study to make sure this doesn’t hurt the native turtles.” I’m all

I work for a tiny startup and while things are good, we are prioritizing reducing cloud costs as well. Our bill is relatively tiny right now, but as we grow it’ll become a bit more unsightly. Best to do it now and get that over with!

I’ve been using it quite a bit. Recipes, asking coding related questions, writing silly rhymes for my son, etc. I showed it to my realtor and demoed it describing my house with a two sentence prompt. He was floored. There are uses if you lo

I feel that it’s less about the screen and more about what you’re doing with it. When my children stare at screens, it usually to play an educational game. When I stare at screens, most of it is work or adulting. About 2-3 hours/week i

I love technology, but I don’t get how anyone can think it’s wise to let their children stare at a screen all day. My nieces and nephews spend all of their time staring at iPads, but my children have much more limited screen time rules. It’

You could argue that the hammer from the previous example is a creative work. A hammer, a pair of shoes, a leather sofa, etc. They all have an element of craftsmanship and it seems like people who do that work usually take pride in it from

My understanding is that preferred shares are only important if the company doesn’t have a high enough valuation. I won’t pretend to be an expert on the matter though.

Maybe both metrics would be useful. “If we had to sell today, this is our situation. If these bonds are held to maturity, this will be our situation.” Seems like that would allow an investor to see the state of the bank more clearly.

I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t on Reddit.

I worked at a GM sized company right out of college and they did a voluntary early retirement thing like this. It was one week’s salary for every year of service with the company plus they’d pay your health insurance premiums for the rest o

Undeniably, there’s a large sub-set of the crypto space that’s incredibly annoying and toxic. I do my best to avoid them as it’s just noise that does very little to help the cause.

My favorite part about Bitcoin is the foaming at the mouth that occurs whenever you talk to someone who is anti-crypto. It has little to do with the actual technology and everything to do with the need to be correct about its downfall. “I t

As a parent, you are 100% correct. I love my kids and I’m saving like mad for them, but the future is, frankly, bleak for young people.

I worked at a Kroger in high school and I learned this fact then. A lady was assembling a big display for s’mores supplies (Hershey’s, Reese’s, brand name marshmallows, and some graham crackers). They paid for a premium spot in the store ri

As an engineer, I hate writing. That being said, one of the best classes I took during my undergraduate studies was a class called “Technical Communication.” We learned how to write a good email, memo, and even technical instructions. For o

Your reply makes me think of a blog post I read (I believe it was this one: https://collabfund.com/blog/the-art-and-science-of-spending-... ) that talked about how there’s a big difference between the mindset needed to

I agree that they could indeed be paying their engineers far more and still make a profit, but that’s just supply versus demand. They found the pay bands that provide the sweet spot: Relative maximums for profit and talent willing to accept

Maybe not. Probably so. Do you have any indication that tech is dead?

If I may ask, what happened?

I’m saving and investing like I only have 10 more years of work before AI takes my job. Either I’ll be well prepared for unemployment or I’ll have plump investment accounts and still be employed. Good outcome regardless.

Now I want an experiment regarding how slow is too slow? For example, can we get a 30 second, 600FPS video of milk lusciously pouring onto some Frosted Flakes to see how people react?

I feel like this is getting a little nuanced. “They bought a company to get a head start, thus they didn’t actually create their own modem.” It’s been roughly four years since that purchase. Surely they’ve done some work since then that wou

Exactly this. While I could afford an $80k vehicle, I refuse to do so. I hate owning a car and only do so because I live somewhere with absolutely no public transportation. When these vehicles stop being only for virtue-signaling and actual

Corrupt? I haven’t heard about widespread corruption at VA hospitals. Do you have a source for this claim?

I feel like the Lightning network addresses the ease of use and transaction cost issues, but I agree that there is still work to be done. Regardless, this is the part where I’d tell one of my friends that I’ll buy them a beer if they’re rig
