I don't know what it is, but autopay causes me so much mental load. Instead I go over my bills every two weeks, following the tune of my paycheck. Every two weeks I check all credi…

I live on campus at Cornell Tech. The student residence hall[0] there is built following Passive House standards and it is actually surprising how good it works. My one complaint i…

Do you think this is more a reflection on the fact that the more mature company has already made these decisions for you vs the other company having to still figure out this stuff?…

Time and time again it seems like the people involved in the crypto industry are speedrunning through dynamics that are now either clearly understood as a failing strategy, or outr…

That's quite limiting though. The OP could very well expand functionality to hook up calendars, email notifications, etc. This is just a dumb display.

SBF tweeted[1] not too long ago that FTX.us was safe and was 100% liquid. I suppose that wasn't the case? [1] https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1590709195892195329?t=tQR...

I have had the same experience, although I've only been out of school for two years. So far my daily work stream has me doing ssh to a Linux box and then doing my work there. All t…

I've set up QoL notifications. One of my proudest compares the internal temperature of my home and the external temperature. If it's colder outside by a significant margin, I get a…

I set up water sensors under the kitchen sink and in bathroom vanities. Each of them cost about $20 and integrated into my Home Assistant setup without any issues. Three months lat…

I think it's the opposite actually. I remember FAANG being used as a reference to hot stocks. Investopedia seems to claim the same: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/faang-stock…

Hmm, yeah, maybe one where with "sales" in its name. I think you're into something here.

It's crazy to me that such a large valuation was obtained by Rivian. I suppose having the backing of Amazon signals a certain level of success. Looking forward to seeing more good-…
