Looking at only what you presented, it seems like Endothermic/Homeothermic share a lot of overlap (hot blooded) and Ectothermic/Poikilothermic share a lot of overlap (cold blooded)…

I’m part of the team at Sapling AI (YC W19). We offer a no data retention option for all teams. If a business wants to try us out for free I’m happy to set something up. We also of…

I look back at the leopard to snow leopard upgrade with incredible fondness. 2 years worth of work. "Zero new features": improved performance, better cpu + memory usage. Probably t…

Migrated from Auth0 to Firebase because it was 2 orders of magnitude cheaper. After explaining that we didn't need any fancy features, just OIDC+SAML sign-in they proposed a number…

I think at this point we can all roughly agree on what makes code well-written? 1. Stylistically consistent for things like format, naming, control and logic flow 2. QA: linted, un…

I've been considering a Garmin InReach Mini, its roughly $350 for the device and roughly $300 for a satellite subscription for 2 years. This iPhone ... is quite compelling in the f…

My read of the marketing materials is that it supports the "Find My" feature which you can use to share locations with friends/family? This is really a killer feature for me as an …

I don't view it that way. I think the fact that Coinbase does not deny that their employee acted wrongly is a good thing. Their stance is that cryptocurrencies aren't securities to…

I'm on the team at Sapling Intelligence, a deep-learning AI Writing Assistant. A lot of privacy and security conscious folks don't like the idea of a keylogger, so we have self-hos…

+1 for github pages. I've hosted a free static site on github for many years, and have been happy with it.

There's something about this sentence that I find hilarious: The download was posted to 4chan today, described by its unidentified source as “part one” of “an extremely poggers lea…

This kinda sucks for all parties involved. 1. Funds from an individual Coinbase account are transferred off of Coinbase onto another Bitcoin wallet. 2. The owner of the Coinbase ac…

I don't think (in my lifetime) I've heard anyone discuss buying or selling a stock in the context of a Dividend Discount Model. This observation isn't really in support of Bitcoin,…

I've seen good results with Linkerd + Kubernetes + GRPC. https://linkerd.io/2018/11/14/grpc-load-balancing-on-kuberne...

Very cool. Is there a way to persist disks at a cost and attach/unattach Voltas for training? EDIT: found in the FAQ: Compute: $0.99/hr / 1x Tesla V100 (running instance only) Stor…

I think I would agree that cryptocurrency is probably a less worthy allocation of energy than keeping homeless people warm or something. However, money/energy are finite resources …

Interesting. I found out about Bitcoin in 2012, took a distributed systems seminar in 2013 covering byzantine fault tolerance, paxos etc and at that point Bitcoin metaphorically bl…

Well I definitely have some mild environmental allergies (some cats & rabbits) but nothing life threatening. This somewhat reminds me of 23&me, except with some obvious potential q…

So the consensus here seems to be that Tether the company is doing some sort of fractional reserve banking? I'm assuming no one on hacker news is holding Tether ... To the point of…

This is the confusing part to me. Everything I read online talks about Tether being fraudulent. Shouldn't the price of Tether reflect a discount based on that? If it doesn't, does …

I'm trying to interpret this statement. Are patients paying for therapy for 5 years before seeing effects, or is a course of treatment valid for 5 years?

You can definitely try to barter it. The top reputable exchanges have daily liquidity in the billions https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ .

From a cynical perspective, I agree with Bitcoin being something that rewards first movers and it could be something that limits social mobility if it's still around for 100s of ye…
