Fort Collins, CO is probably where that rate is. I don't know of anywhere cheaper for residential electric.

They can turn your alarm off while they're fetching your pills.

It's missing the value-add of valet parking - being able to pull up at the front door and walk away from your car. Without that, this is not valet anything. You still park then shu…

Old business models: Add value for the end-user, sell it on for a profit. Current business model: venture capital is the end-user now. Grow the investment by addicting customers to…

That's not a bad idea, since we pay for the roads, not Google.

As we've seen, that's a solution looking for a problem.

I read the article and didn't see anywhere if they collaborated with city planners, or just ran this on their own. I get the techno-optimism of making traffic 'better' and also it …

Same thing, they clarify it right at the start of the very short article.

This article starts by repeating the same paragraph five times, then pretty much twice again with different wording. Was there even a human in the loop? I doubt it.

I've seen a lot of things written about Carmack over the last 30+ years, not one comment this casually dismissive until today.

I've thought about a parallel version of this since I was a child and learned about the existence of nuclear weapons being a 'nation state' level of difficulty. Over time I assume …

I couldn't even tell you when I used the Google search page. It's been years at least. I wouldn't be surprised if many other people also don't go there to search. I assume most sea…

Coinbase wasn't an IPO, they didn't create any new shares to sell as part of going public. They did a DPO, Direct Public Offering where they listed the existing private shares publ…

It stuns me when I read about people investing in Lego in order to make money later, and in this case it was to pay for someone's college. That info is from the fundraising page th…

Have you been? Or are you basing this on second-hand information?

There's definitely a world where we need newer products, but not as many or as fast in iteration. My gaming PC has 128GB of RAM... And I built it years ago when RAM was laughably c…

Why do people want to generate jobs? I'd rather generate a jobless utopia where we all do art.

Are you making art to fill that perceived gap, or just lodging your objection to people doing their own thing? No artist owes you a curriculum of your design.

I had a similar reaction to the headline. The idea that munitions 'suicide' doesn't seem novel enough to have it in the headline. We don't say suicide icbms, or suicide cruise miss…

You still wouldn't have nearly as many dollars if you subtracted the times those people were correct in that assumption. Personally I assumed the site would be global. It doesn't h…

I tried getting it to generate openscad models, which seems much harder. Not had much joy yet with results.

I don't agree with that assertion. Just because google maps has become one thing, doesn't excuse Apple maps flaws. They can exist on their merits.

For those unaware (spoiler follows) this is the reveal in the plot of 'Star Trek - The Motion Picture'.

First time in ages I sat through the credits!

Usually I would expect proof for a positive - like that it was an inside job, or there being an indication of it. I'm not saying whether it was or not, just that it seems unusual f…
