High quality tools are absolutely a joy! I love the high end tools that I get to use in my professional life as a mechanical engineer. (less frequently now that I am a manager, but you never get tired of using a well designed Festool, Bosch

I've long subscribed to the philosophy that you should buy the cheapest tool you can find and use safely, use it until it wears out, breaks, or your skill surpasses the capability of the tool - and only then should you spend money on h

I would argue that outside of the Elon Musk tier of the deep tech world (and there's really only one person like that) almost every other person I know making measurable progress in hard technology is extremely focused on one thing at

Gimmick or not, wearables (Watch + Airpods) are a massive business for Apple. Large enough that they would be a F500 company if spun out at current revenue numbers. https://fortune.com/2019/08/06/apple-airpods

This was written back when YC was a few companies per batch and all of the biggest successes were yet to materialize. Today? Stripe: 2,500+, AirBnB: 6,300+, Dropbox: 2,300+ I wonder if this stance changed a dozen years later now that there

browser console is a pretty under rated feature. I wish it was used more extensively to teach people how to code. so many cool little hacks you can do on public web pages that cement new concepts quickly.

Yes. The cost to do the work and the cost to ensure compliance with the law would both be real dollar amounts for most small companies. Enough that if you wanted to try out an experimental new service you'd have to take into account th

This is a great example. I'm not saying that the behavior Sonos engaged in here is good - I'm just saying that jumping to "it should be illegal" so quickly without considering all of the secondary impacts is a mistake.

Practically speaking it costs time and therefore money to do this. Small companies can't be expected to have both the technical and legal resources on hand to ensure compliance in the event of an EOL event for an API.

It's only faulty if you look at it through very narrow lens. Not every company has FAANG (or even VC backed startup) level of funding to support these kinds of efforts. Telling a small business that they are going to be breaking the la

Strongly disagree. Your proposal would squash innovation and make sure that no small company ever creates an API based system again.

Why is it a negative consequence that the replacement requires no skill? Turning on a light switch requires far less skill than trimming wicks for oil lamps, but I'd consider that a feature not a bug.

Exciting announcement for the OpenAI team. The wording in the press release reminds me of a question I haven't been able to answer for a while now. Can anyone point me to the moment in time when general purpose artificial intelligence

“Needed at home - USB Power Adapter 5V, 1A or greater” It’s a $250 device that doesn’t include a plug for the charger. I don’t know if that’s an effort to save money or reduce waste, but either way it strikes me as a way to guarantee a subs
