I remember an interesting HIV campaign that went something like UVL=0VL It made me think. (undetectable viral load = zero viral load) Perhaps this vaccine will not cure HIV once and for all just yet, but maybe it can work as an alternative

There is no "crypto crash." There is "everything crash." Crypto, stocks, baby formula, war. The world has turned into an insane clown world. There are evil people out there, and they fuel the flames. Instead of building,

Remote is good because I can do laundry and vacuum my flat while thinking about a work problem. Most employers though consider that stealing. Offices aren’t unnecessary but practically all offices I’ve ever worked from are torture chambers.

I can't wait for El Salvador to offer a cheap, safe, and secure crypto vault. Once they expand to yield generating crypto, they can charge a small fee while holding BILLIONS in crypto assets.

I rented an Airbnb recently and they had a basic induction stove on top of non-functional gas stove. The induction stove, with special pots, was like tech from the future. I was only doing basic cooking but it was blazing fast and precise.

Matt Levine is my favorite source of insight into the nitty-gritty of financial markets. He has an uncanny ability to take what would be the most boring minutiae and turn it into a fascinating and well told story. I don’t see a problem with

How much of that is climate change and how much local development policy? There is an ever continuing push for creating extremely high density urban areas with hardly any greenery. Those are becoming barely habitable. Cramped offices, peopl

There is a very simple reason why crypto aren't going anywhere -- wealth generation. For a lot of people in many parts of the world the (still) unregulated nature of crypto is the only way to generate wealth. How does one get wealthy?

Linux is developer friendly but user experience is abysmal. I’m a developer. I grew up with Linux. I can’t wait for Apple to turn MacOS into iOS with extras. Linus himself said that Chromebook (with a shell) looks appealing. I just want iOS

I wish DataHand was still made. The 3d printed keyboard based on DataHand looks very interesting but right now I don't have time to invest into making custom hardware. I wish I could just buy something similar!

Why are all the masks single use? Why can't we make reusable masks that can be disinfected by UV light? Structurally those masks are pretty solid. I can easily wear a single surgical masks for quite some time. But would need some way t

Here’s another question: isolation... and then what? Sit at home until 2021 when we maybe have a vaccine? I don’t see how we make this virus disappear so while I can see how people staying at home can stop the spread, what happens when they

Everything can easily be done in a tiny controlled environment! Also Singapore is fairly uniform. There's Malaysian Singaporean part, Indian part and Chinese part. They do not overlap. Everyone stays in their lane!
