TLDR: 80% of kids used to be potty trained by age one. Nowadays parents train later, because diapers are so convenient that its feasible to wait until the kids are older where it's…

I didn't expect such a misleading intro from Knuth. It reads like Claude solved Knuth's math problem. In reality, Claude generated various example solution, and Knuth then manually…

But it also doesn't apply to small companies: The CCPA applies to any business, including any for-profit entity that collects consumers' personal data, does business in California …

He's not completely wrong though. I was assaulted (pushed and fell to the ground) for asking someone to turn down their music at a pool. And I think I've asked less than 20 people …

I do believe that Wikipedia is one of the least biased sources out there, but there is definitely bias. Here is a concrete example. Compare the introduction paragraph of the Englis…

This must be the first good looking government website I have ever seen.

We should all copy from the Haskell community. Instead of coming up with a random name like "append" for a List function, we should appeal to our deep intuition of monoids and use …

I have proven quite a few theorems in Lean (and other provers) in my life, and the unfortunate reality is that for any non-trivial math, I still have to figure out the proof on pap…

You don't know. Even with the best theorem provers, your definitions are still trusted. The best way I've found to help with this is to keep your definitions simple, and try to use…

I think a big problem is just how US suburbs are built. Growing up in Germany, there were sidewalks, protected crossings, and public transportation everywhere, so I was just always…

That seems a little strong. We spend like $50/month on paper plates, which are compostable, and I get back many hours of my life that I can use to create valuable experiences with …

I would disagree that Brex (and many others in the space) aren't offering banking. I can deposit money, I can withdraw it, I have a credit card, I earn interest, etc, they seem to …

He seems to say that the fractional reserve system is the only way society can work. But is that actually true? Quite a few banks (e.g. Brex) now allow you to keep your money in a …

Having 4 kids ages 5 and under, while also running a startup, I can confidently tell you that disposable dishes are the true answer to efficient dishwasher management.

"One can’t imagine flagship products like Search or Books ever being shut down." I can totally imagine Books being shut down.

I'd be curious to. Wikipedia seems to says that this might be mostly marketing speak. 'The term "3 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, m…

Thanks for the thorough writeup! I agree that our implementation seems to solve your use-case. Let me provide you with a bit more context about the house buying use case. When buyi…

Great question. The motivation will differ from person to person, but I can give you the reason why I'm using it. I live in a high cost of living area, so I used to keep ~20K in my…

Good question. Here's the difference. When you withdraw money from Charles Schwab and there's no cash in your account, it creates a margin debt. You then have to pay that margin de…

We've heard from a few users that they would like to keep some of the money in cash. I think that's a reasonable feature which we should add support for. In a sense, keeping a fixe…

I completely understand your desire to avoid sales of your long term investments that may have huge capital gains. To deal with that, you can configure us to sell shares in a tax s…

Thanks for the positive feedback :)

If you withdraw money using a Fidelity debit card (without Financial Choice), from a brokerage account without any cash in it, that withdraw will create a margin loan that you have…
