Minisforum machines are excellent in that regard. Sturdy little bricks with price and performance.

I did that for while, but recently switched to Bazzite. It's a much smoother experience.

Specifically, he believed he should share in his country's suffering.

The author doesn't get the most common problem with perfectionism. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Perfectionists often give up entirely, because of some perceive…

I've seen a bunch of his interviews now and his message is pretty controlled, actually. It all boils down to: (a) I don't know, wasn't aware, and (b) I messed up / lost focus. Thes…

This is from 2019. In March of 2022 Google won the case. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/11/22973282/google-wins-cour... Neither owns the copyright, and therefore cannot claim infr…

Wouldn't it be more meaningful to normalize these by student population? UT Austin has like 50k students to 6k at Dartmouth. Normalized, you would have .06 startups per student at …

Serious question: the burn off in crypto should theoretically help with fiat inflation, correct? The Fed prints, and crypto evaporates.

True, but the financial incentives of many (most?) companies doesn't align with public benefits (see pollution, plastics, diet etc.) Why is social media singled out in our demands …

I have several major problems with this explanation (often endemic in the discussion more generally): 1. Shannon's original paper relates "the capacity [of a channel] to transmit i…

Alternatively, you can lease a car like Nissan Leaf for the same $200 monthly. This price point makes no sense, except perhaps in the case of the company wanting to save face inste…

This is not a good analogy for the same reason the Holocaust is not a good analogy for other things not involving the massive loss of human life.

Fair enough. I'll use "low pressure" and "low friction" next time.

See my comment above. An elevated (or submerged) tube with rails (or a track) inside cannot be less expensive than those rails or track elevated (or submerged) alone. I get the pip…

> The dramatically reduced costs of infrastructure for constructing mounted tubes on pylons, with each section being a fungible, mass produced item, makes rail obsolete. This makes…

Hyperloop sounds like a bunch of hype. High speed trains are a thing already, as are MagLev trains, as are trains that go through tunnels, called the subway. The lack of their succ…

Please review your basic understanding of race as per my comments above. If you still think there are five races or whatever, you are living way in the past century.

Or, it might be evidence of systematic racism. Would it surprise you that the genetic bouquet associated with people of color would also correlate with a long history of racism, wh…

I suggest going back to school on your basic terms. Skin color taxonomies such as "white" and "black" are weak proxies for genetic diversity. Races are not taught this way anymore.…

How would you lower the barrier to entry into something like Facebook or Amazon? Or Google trips for that matter? Or in this example, Hipmunk?

In the academic data science-y world, the transition has passed the hump. In other words, where I was reluctant to switch a few years ago because some of my basic tooling was still…
