    It's just a way to keep the culture war hot. They need people on Reddit mad, the media questioning what a DEI Bike Lane is and ridiculing, etc. The actual policy they've implemente…

    If you use something like 1Password it's very easy. It stores your Passkey and it syncs cross device. It's another thing but once it's set up it's less of a pain than using authent…

    Reminds me more of Peace Corps.

    Maybe it's just me but as soon as something like this, that should be independent, is owned by something it reports on, it becomes something you need to automatically trust less.

    I've seen it mentioned before but never checked it out. It def has ESPN vibes but I think it's more like a new Techcrunch.

    It's hard to imagine this turn into 50-60% short term banger starting from a $1.75T market cap, I wonder if people will actually trip over themselves to buy. I had been thinking I …

    I don't think we could see a bombing campaign like the one we've seen so far anywhere near that length of time. Partly for munitions reasons and partly for target reasons. There is…

    He may still wriggle out of it but it is increasingly looking like Trump has stepped into something that he won't be able to reverse his way out of easily, a one way decision.

    Clowns get the attention and the attention usually makes for winners.

    My 4yo was a big fan of What The Car? on iPad. It's not quite as pleasant as this but there are some similarities.

    Pleasant and nicely done. Took me a few seconds to figure out how I was suppose to drive around but very pleasant experience.

    I don't think that is likely this time. Injecting capital to cover losses doesn't bring back the forward looking valuations so stock prices would remain down anyway. Gov isn't goin…

    I feel like it died in about 2015.

    I've been using Roam Research since about 2020. Is Obsidian better?

    I managed a few artists in the past. Usually Spotify paid something like $0.0035 per stream but it ranges based on where the listen took place. One artist owned part of their catal…

    You value clarity and directness in code. You prefer explicit, step-by-step solutions that are easy to understand and debug, even if they require more lines of code.

    Without IP though you lose incentive to invest in new stuff. IP is made up just like saying murder is made up. Both are just concepts but necessary concepts to keep society on trac…

    It's a valid question of if the rights were actually infringed here. Nothing stops you from reading books and then writing based on what you learned. Just because this is done at s…

    This is one of those things that seems like it shouldn't be that hard until you start to dig in.

    To me it feels like we're in the VC subsidized days for tools like Claude Code. Given how expensive we know GPU usage is and that it's not likely to come down, and these companies …

    You need to give it something to do that you don't think it will be able to do. That is where I think it starts to click.
