I know what you’re saying sounds perfectly rational to you and I do applaud you for holding the moral position separating someone’s private life from their contribution to the company. But, think about the number of people who were let go f

The usual argument is that as prices rise, demand will shrink and supply will rise to take advantage of the increased price.

Skills do matter. It’s just a different type of skill. Merit doesn’t matter - but even that’s a bit arguable - if the merit is decided based on what someone is creating value for their shareholders and value is entirely defined by stock pri

What you’re describing here results in extreme consolidation. The one or two e-commerce giants that figure it out will rule. No startup can ever sell anything online easily. Why would a customer trust a new or upcoming brand or buy anything

You link your accounts in simplefin which uses MX (similar to plaid) to pull the data. Except simplefin is really simple to setup. https://actualbudget.org/docs/advanced/bank-sync/simplefin

There’s also this: https://beta-bridge.simplefin.org/ . Very reasonably priced and it works great. Actual Budget uses it.

I use Claude “on the web” or Google Jules. Essentially everything happens in a sandbox - so yolo isn’t a huge risk. You can even box its network access. You review the PR at the end or steer it if it’s veering off course.

We were building a payments system in the early 2000s and got a diktat to not use Oracle. The amount of things we had to build to satisfy the availability and durability requirements were so huge it consumed the first few years of work. We

Metal is technically more elastic than an elastic band. With a Young’s modulus of 69 GPa for aluminum versus just 2 GPa for ABS, metal has the "memory" to snap back from significant pressure. Plastic, true to its name, is far more

Texas, technically, generates more TWh than California. I think a data center boom followed by a bust would help a lot more than what California can do. Unlike in cars, CAs market size or regulations can’t help/hinder other fuel source

Article summary Perovskites, compounds with unique electronic properties previously confined to specialist applications, could enable neuromorphic computers that process and store data simultaneously, as human brains do. Halide perovskites

3D Touch was a useless gimmick for most users because it wasn’t discoverable. The move cursor feature didn’t disappear btw. It’s now in the space bar.

Distribution agreement is generally different from a sale. Distributors act as agents of the manufacturer. It’s not yet counted as a sale. Most warranties are limited to first owner and do not transfer. How do you think this squares with th

Funny you would pick this analogy. I feel like we’re back in the mainframe era. A lot of software can’t operate without an internet connection. Even if in practice they execute some of the code on your device, a lot of the data and the heav

I think it’s more like the “crash” that never happened with Uber/gig and crypto. I can’t tell if it’s just luck with one craze seamlessly enabling another in some cosmic coincidence or smart people being able to absorb the excess capit

Think Morse code, where frequently used letters have shorter codes than less frequent ones. This ensures zero loss of information.

The attack vector is a 3pt app being compromised - maliciously or otherwise - that logs/collects the messages - i.e, the apps themselves can be a threat vector. To be blunt and honest, I’m not sure I disagree. The notification framewor

Which is …normal. Different types of data access have different SLA requirements. Any company that cares about cost will warehouse data after x time frame. It’s done even in banking. Uber has a much more lenient need to make this data insta
