I think calling this a "wild-ass guess" undersells it a bit (either that or we have very different definitions of a WAG).Very well though-through and compelling case. My biggest qu…

So a Christmas card list would be illegal? That seems...excessive.

I think they know it's bad, they just don't need to make it better because its their OS so they're the only game in town. Developer experience isn't why people write apps for mac/i…

Why is that?

He can buy the local Golden Corral any time he wants.

That's awesome! Did you fly helicopters before starting on the instructor path? Helicopters seem like a blast, but the cost is on another level (and that's speaking as a fixed-wing…

Aside from the Rust aspect (which is cool!), I can't believe we've come this far and still don't have low-latency video conferencing. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but people talking…

I'm wondering where the raw video from the helicopter came from originally. My guess is that this isn't something you can do with an SDR and hobbyist equipment, but I would love to…

> walking away with millions I was referring to their normal compensation, should have made that clear. According to the article the CEO got $700k from the $16MM, and her 2019 cash…

Totally forgot that Boeing owned them. They have been on fire lately with all the new features and I hope this doesn't impact them.

Getting 5 seconds when the credits start to stop it from auto-playing the next episode bothers me sooo much more than the previews (also not a fan of those, but mute is good enough…

Sounds like what they're doing at Microsoft with Project Silica https://news.microsoft.com/innovation-stories/ignite-project...

The scale of this is so hard to comprehend. Seeing the people standing on the dry-dock below the ship, its just mind-blowing to see how massive both of these things are.

I liked rust already, but this is amazing!

I'm in the process of porting some DSP code from python to rust and was really wishing I could use matplotlib to check my intermediate data. If this works like it looks like it sho…

Do you like Vidalia onions? More seriously, how much interaction do you have with the farmer(s)? Seems like there would need to be a lot of communication to make something like thi…

How long is "long" in this context? 5ft? 50ft?

You sound like you have a pretty good understanding in this area. Are you in an executive position or work with that type a lot?

You can run so many more stories! (just need to make sure the prediction algorithm is good)
