I've been using an app called Mylio as a replacement to Picasa. Everything is locally hosted, the apps are very fast with large libraries and you can have peer to peer syncing betw…

The problem with this approach is your basically teaching this as a side effect and hoping they're smart enough to actually connect all of that together vs. teaching those concepts…

I'm glad that other people are thinking of making 'the privacy company', it's something that has been itching at the back of mind to do too, along with research into what is curren…

Recently the story has been TSMC is pulling ahead of intel in process nodes and intel has been missing deadlines, but this inversion has only happened in the last few years.

HK also doesn't have TSMC, which if destroyed would put semiconductor progress and prices back 5-10 years.

It's a network effect. Readers go to databases with the most data, and creators / reviewers go to the places with the best 'audience'. Same reason why it's been a very long and har…

The politicians wont do it and the populace won't like it because tech companies have become a significant part of the economy and are a significant driver of economic/retirement a…

1TB TLC was $300-$500 3 years ago, where are you shopping, the expensive store?

It's a multi-currency index fund consisting of deposits of currency from users. I think the goal is to make an international currency that would be stable across countries.

Is your family inside or outside of china?

Well for #1 & #2, they don't need your phone for that, just subpoenas to the relevant companies. And most people are not international globe trotters where the extra stuff outside …

I do half of that crap on personal calls too. Interestingly enough, I don't get those issues on phone calls! Or most audio only calls over the internet. The underlying issue is the…

Make $100-$200k/yr from your equity compensation, have that same equity comp go up 2x (amazon) and you get 800k-1.6m for 4 years of work pre-tax. Add a few more years on top of tha…

Cells are getting so cheap that almost all adults in the world have one. Something around the number of 5 billion, and 4 billion of those are smartphones. Fairly soon everyone will…

France is ahead in fashion and few other art forms. America is ahead in popular art because LA is the silicon valley of culture and has the population of Europe. After a certain po…

I think that more comes from their society aging than being credit card debt levels of spending.

I've heard the combini's are typically cheaper and better than vending machines although.

These videos are hours long, and unless your doing low quality 480p, which will make it hard to follow, would definitely not take 200MB.

I based it on this table: https://w.wol.ph/2015/08/28/maximum-wifi-transmission-power-... 2.4 ghz tends to be 200mW, and 5ghz max tends to be 4000mW. I wanted to be as pessimistic …

You also get EM radiation from the electric wiring in your house, lightbulbs, the sun and so on. It's also about the strength of that EM radiation that determines is if it's harmfu…

I actually like the design of the homepod, it's quite clever. The apple watch being held together by glue vs interlocking plate or screws although is something I don't like. It mak…

For many years, I remember needed a piece of photo id with my ticket to get through TSA security checkpoints. What were you able to do instead? Just give a ticket?

I see you haven't actually tried to do VATMOSS or GDPR compliance. It might be easy to register a corp, but you're walking into a liability minefield unless you do it right, which …

With Article 13, GDPR, VATMOSS and other things I heard complained about from small businesses, I wouldn't want to start a company in the EU. At most I would hire employees there t…

We can apply the same argument to governments with their lack of censorship of bad words as people walk the streets. We don't because it's ridiculous on it's face, and we don't wan…
