This is where trust between Product and Engineering is critical. Engineering must be given some "out of band" capacity as you put it, which is locked down and kept available for Engineering to perform maintenance _as they see fit_

Completely agreed on all points. It can be all too easy to say, we need to build a widget factory so we can automatically create 100 widgets for our customers. It'll be so efficient! But once you start building the factory, you realize

Ah, thank you for explaining. I assume the idea here is that the borrower of the stablecoin is then using it to make a bet on the continued price appreciation of some other currency, making it a leveraged bet. Crazy risky. Who is supposed t

Can you elaborate on how a stablecoin gives the holder any yields? I thought the whole idea is that it doesn’t appreciate or depreciate.

Yeah. I also see now from other blog posts on their account that they like project management and note taking style apps, which, like an email client, would much more reasonably be used daily.

A compound monthly growth rate of “at least 15%” would be a hell of a treadmill to keep pace on. But aside from that, the target engagement figures seem aggressive. “A good metric for most SaaS startups … the typical monthly user visits the

I love it that completing an XS-size ticket gives you either nothing, or 1 (one) HP. Not even a permanent health increase. Just 1 HP.

I played through 10 or images. I think you should order the images from “AI is extremely confident” to “AI is confused” so we can see how progressively more complex images begin to be too hard for the AI. Or even getting into abstract image

I have never used Android or iOS car integrations. I am speaking from using GPS while driving, so I meant the app’s ability to calculate your speed based on GPS.

Every time I've tried Apple Maps, I run into the same problem--it doesn't seem to predict your realtime location ahead by X feet to account for your speed and delay in GPS signal. Google Maps does this. The result is that on Apple

Indeed, the specific terms will be really interesting to watch. Even if the per-operation fees are high by comparison after that threshold, it could still result in a huge savings for big file downloads.

This is fine as an anecdote, but it’s not what most US consumers are experiencing. In the last 12 months, food made at home has increased in price by 2.6%, and eating out has increased by 4.6%. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

Sorry, where are you experiencing this? Food near you has doubled in price, like a burger used to be $10 and now the same one is $20? You’re sure it’s not confusion about delivery markups?

The situation with Amazon reviews has become unbelievable. I recently purchased a $20 item with around 30,000 reviews, overwhelmingly positive. $20 was a reasonable market price for this item from any retailer. There was a card inside the b

Dimon kills me with his recent comments that “people don't like commuting, but so what”. It’s so nakedly hostile to employees and dismissive of alternate ways of being successful. It’s certainly enough for me to never consider working
