People here also don't understand machine shops. My dad ran a job shop focused on small jobs and the economics are different. A lot of his work was keeping other local shops / indu…

I've eaten at Dave's and also gather and eat morel's regularly in Montana. Dave's is a popular joint but didn't strike me as particularly good even by Sushi restaurants in Montana …

The g7 is definitely a bit better on all counts except maybe bluetooth reliability. I use them with [open source closed loop]( https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/ ) insulin pump so…

I rode mountain and road/commuters with rim brakes for years and I would give up gears and suspension before disc brakes and dropper seat posts.

I actually find hydraulic brakes much easier to maintain. They self adjust to account for wear and don’t suffer from cable stretch so I rarely need to adjust them. They need a blee…

The outdoor industry as a whole had a covid boom and upped production/orders. Now it seems a lot of those sales were in a way borrowed from the future and they have a ton of invent…

I implemented something like this in a [pre xgboost boosting framework]( https://github.com/ryanbressler/CloudForest ) ~10 years ago and it worked well. It isn't even that much of …

I've got a ~10 year old implementation that does something similar calling it "three way splitting" here: https://github.com/ryanbressler/CloudForest And i got the idea from a lab …

Is anyone seriously proposing removing dams on the Colombia or Snake? Or really any dam used for irrigation? Most of the removals seem to be on very small scale hydro projects on c…

Does anyone make a quality standalone pps with a heat recovery ventilator? I’d buy one I could retrofit in without existing ducting in a second.

Gpus were built for dense math and they ran with it. To the point current best architectures are in part just the ones that run best using the subset of linear algebra gpus are rea…

My step mom did this in the 70s or 80s. She said it was the first time she heard primal screams and that you could just pick up high end outdoor gear along the trail as people woul…

There are tons of successful long term non religious cooperative living arrangements of various sorts but yeah most not fully isolated substance farming because that is hard. Amish…

Propane is a bit more expensive then traditional electric heat depending on the year. It used to be much cheaper so a lot of old houses that aren't near a natural gas line were bui…

It’s not bad where I am now in rural Montana but where I grew up near Seattle the power was off for a week plus most winters. Lots of above ground power lines in heavily forested s…

It needs good air flow to work well and the noise is only really a problem inside the house in the room next to it. I may put some sound insulation on the wall at some point.

We are running a large single head Mitsubishi ductless h2i in Montana. It easily provides most of our heating needs down to about -5F and some heat down to -15F, we have our old pr…

Does this parse in common he software? Just stick it in a multi page doc or pdf with minimal formatting. Resumes don’t need to be one page. Most of the resumes I see for candidates…

Not super common but its reasonably frequent for someone to go to industry for 2-3 years and then go for a masters/phd. Those candidates tend to be great as they are up on industry…

I've been in the ML/data space for 20 years and went through the 2008 cycle early in my career. I'm not hiring at the moment but am always happy to review resumes and give career a…

TikTok’s parent co, bytedance, has multiple social video products in China. They have been genuinely investing in being good at serving and recommending video for a while. If you s…

Montana. Good to know there are other similar states though

In my state we have a lot of breweries that essentially just operate as family friendly restaurants with bars. Like towns of a few thousand people have multiple breweries. It turns…

A standard heat pump water heater does that but will only provide a couple degrees of cooling to meet standard domestic hot water needs. You can also get pool heater heads for heat…

From an employee point of view, YC companies have a weird correlated risk due to investor sentiment ... if YC and other vc's are nervous about the economy an email goes out that sa…
