It isn't just about bringing a bunch of cells to term. But if you want to oversimplify, why not government fund gestation vat technology? The main blocker for progressing on those …

Amusingly, I recently learned that Seymour Cray was a hobby tunneler. https://web.archive.org/web/20080521163217/http://www.time.c...

Another shoulder anecdote... I also really appreciated being able to open up my shoulders. I was once amused by a friend that had never seen a split keyboard before - they were mos…

I was under the impression that they were initially allowed to produce the drugs since they were on FDA drug shortage lists. As expected, the compounders scaled up their pipelines …

Yes. Along with the feared click of death.

Has AWS support gone downhill in the last two years? I've worked with them in the past - as both an individual and a couple startups - I always reached a human. Issues weren't alwa…

I thought the comparison was unfair as well. Physical libraries also tend to be the defacto life help desk for a lot of people out there.

Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't realize Intuit sold it off to private equity in 2016.

DARPA funded a bit in this space a while ago. (Example: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2011/01/darpa-maskless-nanowri... ) I'm not sure how you get over the bandwidth limitations, e…

Not to hijack but last time I was setting up wireguard, I found this site to be super useful: https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2020/10/wireguard-topolog...

While I agree that development has gotten more complex (often unnecessarily), compared to the 90s, the sheer number of potential consumers now available seems hard to justify compl…

When I looked into this the numbers suggested that energy-wise we'd be extracting a drop in the bucket. There are concerns for local effects though (e.g. earthquakes).
