I don't see a PayPal logo underneath the 'Pay' button.

Honestly, I think I heard about the website you are using about donations but I wouldn't necessarily put my credit card in there. It would be trivial for you to also put a PayPal a…

Seems obvious in retrospect. I didn't believe the name is so important, CoolBeans was nice enough and .xyz was being promoted as the new .com :)

I've spent a whole bunch of time on CoolBeans (now OpenBeans http://www.openbeans.org ), a "distribution" of NetBeans. I assumed it would be possible to do a lifestyle business out…

> I think that’s the reason the “hype” for RISC-V is “so big”. It’s not because it’s going to be everywhere, but because it’s quite literally hacker news. :-) Your whole post was a…

I agree that the site might have an angle and I don't believe their alternative solution (agroecology) is any good. Still, the article seems to showcase some questionable points ab…

I learned something, thank you! Considering how performant modern phones are I hope all adhere to SBSA or similar so I can install any OS on my phone just like I could on my 100Mhz…

Ok, but which facts are wrong? If the outcome was a net 0 compared to the baseline those investments and surrounding legal changes didn't improve things.

Seems fair enough. Still, the hype is so big on HN it does seem like the hope is for RISC-V everywhere. It's like saying soon enough we will all program in Haskell.

What are you trying to say, exactly? The program is supposed to improve agricultural yields and they claim it did not. Is the program just about helping Western investments? So the…

You should debate the facts not the motives. I had no clue about this situation but it doesn't look very well. Introducing continent-wide IP-law for seeds , getting farmers into de…

Are we talking about RISC-V as an abstract idea, the same way we would talk about the benefits of functional or object oriented programming here? Or is the end goal to have hardwar…

This seems relevant if my corporation wants to put some $M into producing a thing. But I paid like $200 for my CPU and I would love a $500 Ryzen. Either way, I don't really care if…

I don't understand the hype for RISC-V at all. It's an instruction set that would... just require a new backend for clang/gcc/Java and mean nothing to me unless somebody makes some…

Thank you! I came here to ask the same question. Now that we are producing and injecting industrial quantities of Ψ, any chance this will get incorporated in actual viruses or mayb…

I would have bet the move would be towards Lenovo + Linux but no, it was a Lenovo running Windows. Apple gear is nice, but you can't compare the price of a Lenovo having a fast Ryz…

This I agree with. The only value remaining in the company are its employees, not revenue streams, not products, just employees and potential.

That's not the market way of looking at it. How will a bankrupt company retain their world class employees? They are one missing pay-check and counteroffer away from moving elsewhe…

Not sure what the angle should be here. The founders didn't manage to raise the company; it was soon to be bankrupt. Of course the founders would be wiped out. Still, they have $30…

Honestly everything about the M1 is so hyperbolic it does seem like it could replace super computers soon. So, everybody knows a little laptop CPU and a desktop Ryzen are not the s…

Clickbait article. > My beef, in fact, is more with frameworks like Spring than Java itself. True. The whole article seems to be about Spring. How about I write an article about ho…

> They identified the sequence for the spike protein, plugged that into their vaccine platform, and voila – an mRNA vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. A COMPUTER took two days t…

It's not really surprising that a project that companies use since they don't want to pay RedHat licenses will not get any money at all...

I think you're getting somewhere but in terms of risk allocation. It may be optimal, overall, to allocate a small portion to high risk assets in case of a big payout. But... I thin…

What rational investor sees the loss of 100% a limited downside? By the same logic any rational investor should own some Tesla stock: hide potential upside in battery tech going fo…
