This. Let me know when I can pay for a Chipotle meal or rent in mission statements. Until then saving up money is important.

And outside of a handful of New England towns, wherever that kind of city planning exists in the US, those parts of town are inhabited by half-dead zombies on meth whispering threa…

Venturing outside your field is also part of what drives discovery itself, not a post-Nobel symptom, because you see the new field with a fresh set of eyes rather than textbook-bra…

I think the logic here is backwards. Nobel Prize winners won the prize because they had unorthodox ways of thinking that led them to an actual discovery. I'd think that it's quite …

The more innovative companies in the US tend to have generous vacation policies. I think what the article is really about the rest of the country. In Europe, even service industry …

> Returns like that are not asymmetrical and can only be produced with leverage That's not generally true. There are sometimes highly asymmetrical strategies driven by market ineff…

Would be extra awesome if there was a navigation app that used this map

What NAS drives can support anywhere near 25 Gbps?

I often enter it in the wrong direction. Like let's say elevator is at 5, I am at 1 wanting to go to 3, and before I arrive there is already someone else at 1 wanting to go to -1. …

Human reviewers were not what they were made out to be. They would approve you if you cited them, they would disapprove you if your work questioned the validity of their work.

Because with the alternative they'll require you to "confirm your e-mail" instead of just picking a password

Not really. The car is a non-negotiable, like food, unless you live in Boston/NYC/SF or something. The robot is not.

Most consumers don't think like that. Businesses do. Part of the reason is upfront commitment is scary and risky for personal money, but not scary for a business.

If you can even afford 20K you're in the top 10% of the US population. It's not a very big market, and even selling to that market is hard. Probably only 10% of that 10% will actua…

Yes, but: 1. 80%+ of Americans can't afford house cleaning services. I'm a software engineer in silicon valley and even I clean my own house because I don't think I can afford it. …

Cars are an absolute necessity in the US unless you live in one of the small handful of cities that have viable public transit. Different thing altogether. Robots aren't a necessit…

I'm bearish that they'll be economically viable in the house for a very long time. For businesses the bar for adoption is very low: If the thing can work repetitive jobs for 24 hou…

The part I'm most opposed to is requiring a full KYC, using "verifying age" as an excuse. My Gmail account has been active for >18 years, that should be enough proof.

Those photographers you speak of (95%) are using Lightroom and Photoshop and you wouldn't be able to build a fork business for them. The 5% who use Darktable are likely comfortable…

Doesn't really matter in this case. Doesn't matter enough for people to pull out their wallet. You can re-fork from clean OSS and re-implement any time while you sleep, using whate…

It's a pain in the ass to maintain when it has dependencies on older stuff while I upgrade the rest of the system

Honest answer from me: Probably not, because vanilla Claude Code already does a great job of maintaining my forks with open-source main, and also handles the packaging and installa…

I've used Darktable for almost a decade quite happily, but recently am moving off of it because they made one MASSIVE blunder with the new shitty color grading and white balancing …
