The thing is, when most of your money is in illiquid assets (stock, in this case, or houses, etc.) you can reliably get an extremely low interest rate loan against those assets. What does that mean? Let's say you have 10B equity in a c

I used to describe Modafinil as "the best sleep you ever had, in pill form". As someone with chronic sleep issues and ADHD, it allowed me to function during some of the worst months of my life. The way I eventually settled on to &

These chips are everywhere in Shenzhen--usually playing loudly when a gate is opening. It was a bit strange the first time I heard it. Of course, they have no cultural connection to these tunes, so it works fairly well as a warning.

I am very happy with my artisanal choice. I have been doing so for several decades, now. Usually only trouble when I have to move to a new IP range (changing colo provider), as it means re-establishing reputation and so forth. Not a huge is

YMMV, for my use cases it seems to work really well. I wonder if your instance has been heavily "customized" with group policy, or something. Given the alternative for us would be slack+zoom+gsuite, which all have impressively dau

I have windows, macos, and linux machines. Some of the linux machines run arch. There, am I a stereotype now? Can we focus on what we are using our tools for building, instead of focusing on whatever tools we've chosen? Or are we colle

I find calendly depersonalizing and extremely insulting. I.e. the shift of power when someone says "Hey, let's find a time to chat" and the answer is "Here is my calendly link, good luck". I usually break off the co

The moon has no magentic field. There is no protection from cosmic rays, not enough gravity to keep an atmosphere, not for nothing that there is currently no known life there. Life needs more than oxygen. Why do we keep positioning the Moon

Interestingly, I found the air in Berlin to be much cleaner (easier to breathe, etc.) than it was where I was living in the United States. I found out that the pollution standards for cars in Europe are, by and large, much stricter than els

I don't understand how this is different than the "International" keyboard variants that ship with Windows. How is this better than the status quo?

Yeah, communication is just about explaining what someone should understand. It's a simple concept, and as a result you can be sure that you only need to type a document once, and it's immediately understood. In fact, just like yo

I think the lack of USB, as irritating as it is to implement, relegates this to the "curiousity" bin--not for keyboards, per se, but for storage and other connectivity. Still a cool project, though.

I don't disagree that people will pay for this. I think it's more of a statement that the state of browsers, the web, etc. neccessitates this sort of solution. This is like the underclass taking the trash out of the shining skyscr
