I have a 2022 Porsche 911. It has a lot of physical controls for things in the cabin like climate control, suspension settings, cruise control, dashboard view, and audio. The car a…

I’m a big fan of Amazon’s leadership principles. One of them is bias for action. I worked at AWS for a few years and I’d be in a meeting and someone would say bias for action and w…

I find it hilarious that it rick rolled you. I wonder if that is an easter egg of some sort?

I live in Texas. It takes about 8 hours drive to get out of Texas regardless of the direction I go. That's just one state. Texas is the only state that has 8 different climate zone…

The blog didn't work for me. I just got a circle that spins forever.

Keystone species can be important to the overall environment and other animals. Bring back the right ones and you could improve the environment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyst…

I believe that the M1 architecture is such that you don't actually need as much RAM as an older model computer. It is a system on a chip so moving data between RAM and storage is s…

I grew up in NY and lived in NYC and I still call it a plain slice.

As a person who also grew up in NY, the slice was part of my childhood. I'd walk home from middle school and then high school and pass the local pizzeria where I could pick up a sl…

If this was a marketing ploy, it is genius. The amount of play this email is getting is ridiculous. Brilliant move if it was planned.

I asked a question on math.stackexchange 8 years ago and that question got really popular and now I'm in the top 34% ranking of folks on the Math site. I don't really know a lot ab…

10 years for me. I still check it every day.

I worked for AWS for a few years under Andy. He's a good pick for CEO of that company.

AWS usually does a post mortem where they inform what caused the problem and what they will do going forward to prevent it from happening again.

Your comment just made me buy it. I didn't realize it was an open device running linux. That sold me. There are probably some marketing lessons to be learned from these comments.

I have a friend who used to work for one of the bigger dating app services. He is an AI expert and wrote the matching algorithm for the service. He is very good at his job and his …

My doctor uses a sedative also to make sure you don't freak out during the treatment. I think most doctors do this. You need to factor that into the cost too.

This is great. I’ve dismissed my Jewish heritage and the teachings of religious texts, but this perspective gives me pause. Maybe I’ve been hasty in my assessment that religion doe…

The Tesla requires you to keep your hand on the wheel while in auto-steer mode. You can take your hand off the wheel, but the car will beep loudly after a while and if you don’t pu…

I also had no problem cancelling my account.
