This is a great point. In-person work has higher bandwidth and lower latency than remote work, so for certain roles it makes sense you wouldn't want to farm it out to remote workers. The quality of the work can degrade in subtle ways t

Every time I see this argument made, there seems to be a level of complexity and/or operational cost above which people throw up their hands and say "well of course we can't do that". I feel like we will see that again h

Thanks for the updated link. I'm not able to update the post anymore, but maybe one of the mods can.

I enjoy riding e-bikes, for the record. Going fast on an e-bike is like having happiness on tap. I think more people should own them so that we can collectively start to realize a different way of organizing transportation and commute. Rega

I tend to agree with you about e-bikes. A class 3 can go up to 28 MPH from the manufacturer, and getting them to go faster is an easy modification. For anyone that isn’t aware, a Sur Ron X is essentially an electric dirt bike that can get u

This project in Tempe, AZ markets itself as the first planned car-free community in the US: https://culdesac.com/ I’m hoping that if it is successful, developers will build similar projects elsewhere.

A mental analogy that I personally use for this is cabinets. A section of an app is kind of like a cabinet in a kitchen. Some people like opaque cabinet doors while others prefer glass. Other people go even further, and eschew cabinets for

Something I've been thinking about is what happens once the market for software developers becomes saturated. I think the answer is something along the lines of blending traditionally off-line skills (illustration, etc), domain knowled

My take is that it implements the benefits you describe for simple sites that might have less infrastructure at their disposal. It seems like you still need a node runtime to rebuild the files when the cache needs to be regenerated, however

Serious question: how long does it take for humans to permanently adjust their sense of normalcy? There is a concept of `creeping normality`[0] that gets at this, but there isn't a lot of discussion about how to speed it up and make it

I would argue that an even more insightful view of money is to go one level up to “wealth”. Paul Graham covers it nicely: http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html Skip down to the “Money is not wealth” section.

Perhaps Amazon knows something about planned obsolescence that the consumer does not.

Interesting thoughts. It could be that PayPal has over extended certain models for far longer than they should have. Some forms of tech debt should be resolved sooner, rather than later. It would be fascinating to know the real reasons behi

I don’t have hard evidence, and certainly not every VC would act this way. There is a great episode of Startup where they seek additional funding and eventually settle on an investor with a long time horizon. YC itself is known for having a

The sentiment here is a response to a minority opinion that has deeper pockets than the majority opinion. It is interesting because VC math forces a level of intensity that Basecamp doesn’t have to contend with. So in one sense, the message

There is a chance that Facebook is trying to change public opinion for the better with a move like this. Unlikely, but possible.

I agree. The superscript example is a good one. In most contexts it refers to the exponent, but in the context of a cost function that minimizes a linear regression (for example), it indicates the index of the set. Computer languages benefi

> Seduction is a gift, and most people in technology vastly overestimate how much of customer happiness is solvable by data-driven algorithms while underestimating the ROI of seduction. This is a bit unfair, but keen.

“The Proper Hotel” in SF has tablets in the rooms. They run android and it works great. Definitely better than installing an app. The room was expensive though, I prefer AirBnB with super hosts. So definitely not a feature that alone would
