If this piques anyone's fancy the Overstory by Richard Powers won the Pullitzer and is about trees communicating (and a bunch of other stuff).

You can see why men don't share often. The women get excuses (addiction, post partum, etc) and it's naturally assumed that men are dead beats. Probably not your intention but as one of those divorced dads I can tell you the bias

It's very true for LA, SF, NYC, DC, and other similar cities. It's far less true everywhere else. Here in Atlanta you can find homes <250k and condos <150k

I am suspicious that strains are much beyond marketing terms. Both in the literal sense that people will sell the exact same crop under different brand names. Or sell different crops under the same brand. I'm also generally dubious t

Do you really believe parts of Florida never got hurricanes until recently?

It's made it cheaper to do whatever it is you did therefore the demand for it will go up. It's somewhat of an open question of where the new equilibrium is. Historically that can go either way. We have fewer farmers that we onc

They're in space so they only sort of need to hold the camera.

This isn't why Hollywood is dying. Hollywood is dying because it's cheaper to make movies elsewhere. We're (probably) still going to have movies for a long time. In the same way that we still have cars long after Detroit &

This will get them back to pre-covid levels.

I feel like most of us don't know what we're actually doing when we do t2-t1 to get a duration. Feels like it'd be in a lot of places and a negative number is going to cause havoc. Even worse if it's an unsigned int an

Oh thank God I thought I was going to make it through a thread on leap seconds without a political discussion

This is more like inefficiency in sheeps clothing. Being able to iterate that quickly and cheaply relies on spare capacity and people making salaries 10-25% of what Germans get.

We do this for gas. IMHO you end up paying monopoly rates for the pipes and then stupid game prices for the gas. Maybe the savvy consumer comes out ahead but seems like a net negative to me.

There's been a massive movement of air assets towards Iran over the last week or so. That doesn't necessarily mean a strike will happen but it's clearly a threat.

A nuclear plant operator can easily afford a smallish home in the suburbs on one salary.

The frustrating thing is that developers are some of the most reluctant to change. I'm sick of fighting docker on my Mac among the many other problems. But if we can't break away nobody else is going to either.

Not really. Ultimately it's just a job and a job without any tangible benefit to doing well. Most regular folk that end up in front of a judge would do well to have a quick and predictable decision. It's months to years before th

Companies spend an eye watering amount of money on AWS relative the underlying hardware cost. There's definitely a market for something like a mainframe that runs K8s, Postgres, Redis, and the like where you buy once and then run fore

I'm not so sure either have much impact. Economic policy doesn't change much between administrations and Congress has been ineffective for a long time. Politics is mostly culture war things these days. The Fed seems to be the bi

That is true. There's a lot of magic that goes into parsing the emails. But end user configuration of the infrastructure of sending didn't really exist when I was there

I worked at Zendesk on the email team. I think that's just support being support. The core engineers knew what they were doing.

It's cute but it seems like it's mostly going to come down to hiring a person to grow corn. Pretty cool that an AI can (sort of) do that autonomously but it's not quite the spirit of the challenge.

Probably but I go back and forth. Likely means that it will end up a mix like taxis and private cars are today

Depends on the city. Here in Atlanta we are a "city in a forest" and for older neighborhoods with mature trees it's more common than not.

I think it fundamentally shifts the cost of transport from marginal to capitalized. Meaning a 20 minute trip is $0.50 of gas and some fraction of the manufacturing cost of the car. Today it's that plus $5-10 to the driver. It's

The zombie lots can be consolidated and moved to less desirable areas. And I think there's some demand shifting that can happen. People get driven to the office in the morning. Deliveries happen during the day and then people are dri

I think the pie will grow more than Waymo takes out. Stuff like a plumber realizing they're missing a part. What might be a trip to the supply house can be a self driving delivery instead. Either way, it's not all that much diff

We got these in Atlanta. I haven't had the chance to ride yet but watching them it's pretty clear that they're legit. I think we're on the cusp of something that will change the landscape of our cities. It's going
