I’m not American, nor do I own a timeshare, but weren’t timeshares scams in and of themselves? I remember reading about them about 15~20 years ago. Targeting victims of previous scams is common in crypto and MLM circles. The trick is almost

I’d say it’s not enough to satisfy early investors, who probably want a 10~50x return before IPO. They could definitely go public if they wanted to, and do ‘well’.

I also disagree with his take that the Kernel could be replicated in Rust by 6 motivated volunteers in 4 or 5 years. That could be said of many projects, you could probably reproduce AAA entertainment software with such a team in such a spa

We'll see Torment Inc. with a $4T valuation before Q2 2028. Mark Andressen will be in the picture somehow, I just feel it.

I’m waiting on Panasonic (Panasonic, was it?) to act on their trademark to have interactive ads on their TVs. You have to yell a product name or marketing keyword (McDonalds! PlayStation!) out loud if you want the ad to stop. It stays if yo

Personalized advertisements exist because all-sites exist. Facebook isn’t a pets/cars/vexillology site, it’s an all-site; it and its kin are designed to contain almost all of humanity’s interests. It stands to reason that all mann

It'd help build a case if they took measurements of noise around the property. I'm not saying it isn't true or anything like it but 'loud noise' can mean a multitude of things. I'd say my downstairs neighbors h

You must have heard it already but you won’t turn into Arnold by doing bodyweight squats 3 days a week for a year. It will, however, shape your body and rearrange fat deposits into more conventionally attractive positions and I don’t think

Hi! Jorge Drexler is not Venezuelan but from Uruguay [1]. I should know, I'm from there as well and he is one of our few cultural exports aside from Football. [1] - https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Drexler

I’m a grown man and I quickly fell into a flowchart mindset when I started, where I checked if a raider: A) Had skills I needed and an appropriate personality, and B) was healthy. That decided if he was scrapped for parts, sold wholesale or

I don’t know. It can get pretty dark really quickly and I’m not sure I’d give my kid that kinda game. If he finds out drug trade, organ harvesting and slave trading are the easiest/most efficient methods of making money, and he will, y

Well, to steelman the ‘overpopulation on Mars’ argument a bit, feeding 4 colonists and feeding 8 is a 100% increase in food expenditure, which may or may not be possible over there. It might be courtains for a few of them if it comes to tha

That’s a good example but I think you’re describing another market condition called a captive market, not FOMO. In FOMO, buyers have no real risk in not buying, it’s artifice and theatrics that drive a sale. Your example is a market in whic

Wow, first time I hear about it, this is an eye opening experience. I will think twice now before saying “why couldn’t they just use USB for this?”

He reminds me of David Foster Wallace for some reason. In that sense that his writing is long-winded but full of texture and would easily be drivel if it were handled by a lesser writer. I was familiar with his YouTube work but not his writ

I find your site and sales pitch interesting but honestly, I can't help but feel like a schmuck for giving you 20 USD for this. It feels akin to giving money to Tai Lopez or some other guru selling a pipe dream. No offense to you, I wa

What versatile tools, those chopsticks, they are like extensions of your fingers. All motions are so intuitive and natural after that initial adaptation period. I have a pair of extra long wooden ones, I read they were made for cooking, the

That's fine, using those tools is your prerogative and I won't deny it or besmirch you because of it. That being said, going to a project such as Gentoo's - defined by its ideals of Free/Libre software and its commitment

I agree with the use of such tools in our personal lives, as liability is not as big a problem and the stakes are lower generally. I only object to the use of AI in places where I have to put my signature and will be held liable for whateve

I see many saying that contributors will continue using AI/ML tools clandestinely, but I’d counter that only a malicious actor would act in this manner. The ban touches on products made specifically for Gentoo, a distribution made enti

Not even that, being a tip-enabled position is satisfactory to reduce the minimum to 2.63, so just slap a tip jar somewhere no one can reach (but still see) and call it a day.

Make it 4 and have a 1st gen i3 and we got a plan. Most of my family has old Toshiba Satellite laptops from the early 2010s that they don’t throw away because they cost a grand when they bought it.

My parents have a General Electric fridge from the 1970s! Still works like a charm but the latch broke sometime in the 90s, so we have a pulpo to hold it closed. It will outlive me, I’m sure of it.
