    I heard one rationale that has nothing to do with factories > AI data centers. It is the only lever that legislators currently have. They want some bargaining chip to get more cont…

    It does not appear to be AI, and is a passion project by a single developer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9FMp5QgOvY

    I would love to understand this in more depth. Any chance you could write up what you found?

    This might be a stretch, but I would love to know what outdoor plants are native to my area.

    Looks great. Quick question. When I started it up, Little Snitch immediately told me it made a connection to GitHub and currencies.heynote.com. Why does a scratch pad need to phone…

    This is just a tweet that makes a claim without backing, and links to an article that was pulled. Can we change the URL to the real article if it still exists?

    Note, compute is going up in price, but storage should be cheaper[1]. So it depends on your workload if and by how much this will impact you [1] https://cloud.google.com/blog/produ…

    Looks great. I am excited to play with it. One nit, on your landing page it has a typo, missing "framework /that/ doesn't" > Never get locked into a framework doesn't support your …

    Not sure it's what you are looking for, but how Spanner mitigated CAP to delivery a relational DB at scale is a really interesting read[1] [1] https://research.google/pubs/pub45855…

    Except Google’s RSUs vest every month. So, other than the whims of the market, it’s the same as salary.

    FWIW. The panels are $0.86/wh each with a micro-inverter that runs ~$160 per panel and 32 panels. So, ~$5000 for inverters, ~$11k for panels, which brings you to ~$16k and your not…

    I just put in a 12kw system. It was $32k before federal rebate, and it was the cheapest bid by 5 different contractors. Not sure where your getting $15k

    Offhand, I feel your advice is contrary. You suggest increasing the price because "If outcomes from using your app compare favorably to a therapist, shouldn't your pricing reflect …

    To be clear, this is Svelte version 3, and the first commit was Nov 15, 2016. So the framework is technically 3+ years old. That said, I don't think boring is about age, but about …

    No, they are the actual price. The price with incentive plus "gas savings" is about 5k cheaper. As for the website, look down and to the left for the full retail.

    I think the author is not familiar with watches in general. You have always been able to choose very complex and "busy" faces if you want to have easy and quick access to informati…

    I agree, I jumped-in to use it, and before I have an idea of value I am asked to login. However, to me, the real blocker was when I clicked login with Google, it says it was going …

    The article leads with "GERMAN carmakers have much in common with the self-confident roadhogs who favour their vehicles". That makes it hard to take seriously or treat as good jour…

    Great! Do you plan on open-sourcing? Anyway for me to help, even if it's feedback?

    Nice! It is clear you put a lot of care into this, and I am sure there is a bucket full of features you want to get to, but I have a big request. What I really want is one step bey…

    I wish things like this would start of as an open-source and/or stand-alone app. It looks great, and I want to play with it. But Excel is at it's core used for very sensitive data.…
