I know what you’re saying sounds perfectly rational to you and I do applaud you for holding the moral position separating someone’s private life from their contribution to the comp…

I honestly can’t understand why not wasting meat is such a bad thing?

Costco sells really good hotdogs with a large coke for $1.50.

The usual argument is that as prices rise, demand will shrink and supply will rise to take advantage of the increased price.

Skills do matter. It’s just a different type of skill. Merit doesn’t matter - but even that’s a bit arguable - if the merit is decided based on what someone is creating value for t…

What you’re describing here results in extreme consolidation. The one or two e-commerce giants that figure it out will rule. No startup can ever sell anything online easily. Why wo…

You link your accounts in simplefin which uses MX (similar to plaid) to pull the data. Except simplefin is really simple to setup. https://actualbudget.org/docs/advanced/bank-sync/…

There’s also this: https://beta-bridge.simplefin.org/ . Very reasonably priced and it works great. Actual Budget uses it.

I use Claude “on the web” or Google Jules. Essentially everything happens in a sandbox - so yolo isn’t a huge risk. You can even box its network access. You review the PR at the en…

We were building a payments system in the early 2000s and got a diktat to not use Oracle. The amount of things we had to build to satisfy the availability and durability requiremen…

Same with the EV6. Charged at a Rivian station from 20-80% in 15 minutes.

China already did, in 2010, against Japan. Japan has been preparing alternatives for a decade and a half now. https://www.economist.com/asia/2025/12/04/lessons-from-japan...

Metal is technically more elastic than an elastic band. With a Young’s modulus of 69 GPa for aluminum versus just 2 GPa for ABS, metal has the "memory" to snap back from significan…

Texas, technically, generates more TWh than California. I think a data center boom followed by a bust would help a lot more than what California can do. Unlike in cars, CAs market …

Article summary Perovskites, compounds with unique electronic properties previously confined to specialist applications, could enable neuromorphic computers that process and store …

3D Touch was a useless gimmick for most users because it wasn’t discoverable. The move cursor feature didn’t disappear btw. It’s now in the space bar.

Wegovy tablets are $299 now.

Distribution agreement is generally different from a sale. Distributors act as agents of the manufacturer. It’s not yet counted as a sale. Most warranties are limited to first owne…

Funny you would pick this analogy. I feel like we’re back in the mainframe era. A lot of software can’t operate without an internet connection. Even if in practice they execute som…

I think it’s more like the “crash” that never happened with Uber/gig and crypto. I can’t tell if it’s just luck with one craze seamlessly enabling another in some cosmic coincidenc…

Think Morse code, where frequently used letters have shorter codes than less frequent ones. This ensures zero loss of information.
