This works until Microsoft also picks from the middle to make ten trillion Xbox controllers overnight and you can’t get parts for six months. There are so many competing constraints just in component selection.

This is a fun problem. There’s a squirrel catcher to get over in recognizing the symmetry problem and then there’s all kinds of ideas to explore.

This one actually blew my mind at the time. Tesla had a wait list ten miles long and an obviously superior product (safety, speed, comfort, space, the whole electric thing, etc.). Sometimes, a business isn’t as complicated as people make i

That’s up to the lawmakers and the courts. It’s literally in their power to decide the consequences.

Instead of dictating the solution, let’s just make the network operators liable and let them figure it out.

I actually completely agree. COVID is endemic so now we’re just prolonging the inevitable getting-on-with-it and the only question is how much damage we do pretending otherwise.

To remember that normal people from our own social circles get infected and usually survive just fine. Rather than pretending that every infection is an overweight, anti-vaxxer, etc. who dies immediately after destroying the local medical f

While anecdotal data isn’t very useful, it is good to remember that people actually do get this disease. It seems like it’s always at arms length in online discussions; that someone else will get it surely, probably due to some implied mora

This does make great propaganda for the Brits until you know that they were actually part of a larger element, under the command of US 7th Marine Regiment. This exercise demonstrated integration of NATO commando forces and modern tactics ag

I love this idea. As someone mentioned, leaving the safety blanket of a good team makes personal projects a little nerve-wracking. I’ve only looked on mobile but it would be nice to be able to copy-paste part numbers off the schematic (use

This is an opinion piece. Write a rebuttal and post it.

What alternative do you propose? Give up? Naively hope every other world leaders (all sociopaths by nature, with intelligence agencies managed by yet more sociopaths) will understand and hold up their end of a deal they don’t even know exis

I recognize the ICP reference but I find it funny that people make fun of ICP for simplistic lyrics while literally having the same lack of knowledge. Disclaimer: this is the only ICP reference I recognize.

Surprisingly few people can explain the mechanism that makes magnets “work.”

It’s such hyperbole that it’s difficult for anyone to believe that it isn’t simply a statement made in bad faith.

Yes, this is common in user comments on several otherwise intellectually useful sites. It almost always takes the form of a reasonable take followed by a comparison to China and an insinuation that the US version may be worse. The commenter

Thank you for making my point. That bag doesn’t compete with the Peak design bag in any way other than general shape. It’s poorer in design and quality at every step and the user reviews show this clearly when comparing both products. It’s

They are not. They are rent-seeking. If you didn’t convince your customers of your brand value or at leadt get a patent, you probably didn’t innovate and thus a free economy makes you vulnerable to competition from more efficient businesses

How do you distinguish producer and supplier here? I don’t think the producer exists. There is only the supplier and a rent-seeking middle-man.

by triactual 5y ago
This is not true. These products are not “developed” by the middle-man seller. They are simply identified and repackaged from their existing factories in low cost regions. If anything, this would force “entrepreneurs” to actually develop a

Number three is run away profit for every other fab in the world. Like the fabs in hard-to-bomb parts of the US. I realize they are not at the level of TSMC but that’s because they have not had to get to that level. They will.

So you would want Amazon to pass him over because his wife has an existing medical condition? That would be a good article too.

What are the pressure sensor and IMU for? You've open-sourced a dev-board version, I'm assuming you'll keep the production version private?

They said revenue but they don’t understand what it means. Only a few percent of that revenue is actually profit - perhaps there is no profit depending on the market. It’s an especially tiresome thing to point out since probably more than h

Maybe I missed some details but it appears that the people responsible for the pay gap did not close it. They created legal risk for their company and lost two presumably high performing employees. There is a strong case that some employees
