I know I just replied, but I just thought of something I hadn't thought of. How many of these Bitcoin miners are using their mining rigs as heaters? I'd be more stoked on it then. There was a Dutch company I knew that was using

The counter argument to this that I've seen and has me thinking about Bitcoin's value again is this one: Right now Bitcoin is an additive to the financial system, and actually promotes more usage of fiat. So if you were to compar

And I'm realizing as I'm finally playing through Cyberpunk 2077 that I would prefer to keep it as just a game. I'm all for tech becoming less encompassing like you suggest.

Interesting thing to note about the BBB is that it is a federation of independent businesses with loose national control. I understand that to the consumer they look the same, but this argument is a bit disingenuous to compare the BBB, a n

I can't believe that the Mayor of SF gets paid a $350k salary. I did not realize that.

Play with the sensitivity up between 20-40. It should even out the red and blue for you!

I'm an avid whistler, and have always wanted this exact thing. Thank you for making something so quick and responsive! (chrome, Mac Catalina) I found for me that with sensitivity at 20 I can hit every note perfectly! This is a fun to

If it helps you talk about it at all, one of my friends calls just doing things to stay busy as "tinkering". Nice catch all term for whenever you're relaxing in a different domain.

Ha, when all those apps started breaking out, I knew that there would be a day when someone would finally connect them. Thank you for the story about how Matrix enabled you here, we're all standing on the backs of turtles!

I think he's referring to how when you're really dehydrated, you give people IV saline because it is a much faster uptake. I honestly don't know the mechanism and am not looking up why right this minute, but my inference fro

Interesting point here. I've recently been thinking about why e-ink hasn't gotten more market saturation, and you make a good point that LCD watches look the same as e-ink, but have more customizability. Just for example, do you

I discovered Games People Play in 2017, and found it to be a fascinating exploration of how people communicate. I still refer to it. I don't have much info on this, but I brought it up to my mom who mentioned that the book had a perio

Low energy comment here, but I haven't seen GAFA as an acronym yet (and it makes sense because Netflix no longer has the same power it used to). funny acronym too, because of 'making a gaffe' can kinda be, making a GAFA. I ag

Something that I've been wondering about is that maybe team's should decide what their metrics are for the upcoming 3 months and then come back and decide what the new metrics are. At the very least, it becomes a big game about t

I really like how Slack states all this in their analytics. They give you just enough data to satisfy your craving for making sure people are using the app, and then they mention "message count has no relevance to actual productivity&

Are they selling a bunch of activity data to people or something? $20 for a smart watch has me wanting to try this. I wonder if the catch is that they only work for about a year?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You can't do the work for a week because they aren't the right skill to do the work? I don't have a ton of experience with SoX compliance specifically.

I know this is content sacrilege, but I actually think that TikTok nailed it on the head with vertical video. Vertical video means that you can actually fit a single person into the whole frame and have detail. Horizontal video is all abo
