This sounds a bit like the fallacy of the beard; the existence of ambiguous behaviours that exist somewhere on the spectrum between "listening to an entire podcast with ads" and "automatically downloading the podcast, editing

This is interesting as a technical PoC but also feels a bit unethical. The moral case for ad blocking on the web seems pretty clear: online advertising is built on massive exploitation of user privacy, has horrible UX, and is often implemen

Really miss Divvy (RIP). At the risk of causing a good thread on Apple's weird inability to lauch a really valuable OS feature devolve into a list of workarounds, Hammerspoon (a generic automation tool) plus this script ( https:/&

I think the main difference is that a 1 month sabbatical is typically over-and-above your normal holiday allocation. This can make a huge difference for some people, particularly people with families. With a normal "x weeks" of ho

According to these numbers the combined cost of replacing the battery and the screen is 22.99 + 44.99 == 67.98, which is less than half (~45.3%) of the cost of the original new phone. Comparing that to the market value of a used phone is

I think this assertion from them is misleading (in the same way that it is when Facebook et al make it). If Apple is allowing micro targeting then they are implicitly sharing data. E.g. let's say they let me buy targeted ads for "

Unless I'm massively misunderstanding your setup, that Docker image contains an entire OS and runtime, not just your website. Reasonable people can disagree about whether that entire paradigm is sensible but, having chosen to use Docke

This kind of point comes up a lot in these discussions. I'd suggest a slight alternative: "Death per million person kilometers, broken down by car age and road type." The expectation of death in modern cars during highway dri

Bit late to the party but I just wanted to put one top level comment saying: this is awesome! I'd never have thought that putting a Fortran codebase like this into WASM was so possible. And doing so in this way surfaces great, battle-t

I always find this to be a funny point in these conversations. The entire discipline of "agile development" exists because it's so hard to have foresight into the requirements of a software product up-front. By extension, I d

Strangely I think that might actually be less of a concern with BAYC? From the article: > A growing number of NFT projects are granting owners the right to commercially adapt their works, which has been a useful strategy for increasing b

This is probably a cliched comment by now, but it never ceases to amaze me how quickly many crypto users appeal to centralized authorities as soon as they accidentally lose ownership of an asset. From one of Seth Green's linked tweets:

Out of curiousity, have you looked at the paper or read the Forbes article linked in one of the other top-level comments? ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/kionasmith/2018/08/30/katherine... ) The paper

I see where you're going with this, but a reasonable counterpoint would be that this is a CS teaching role. Most people with the skills to teach university level CS, who also live in the Bay Area, can probably earn much more than $10

There might be some value in opening these algorithms up but, also, the moment you reveal how they work you will immediately start to see them gamified. Aspects of content recommendation/moderation will always be adversarial, and there

Just to note, there are many reasons to not want to "require identification to use the site" that aren't related to "[wanting] bots on there". Cost, friction, safety/protection, etc. - the list gets quite lon

This makes me wonder why not just use a one-time second price auction? In that case everyone just needs to huddle up with their family once, submit their maximum price for the house, and know that they won't have a risk of over-paying

I think that, at the margin, very few people make a decision about whether to have kids based on global food supply projections. And, at any moment, a lot of population growth is just "baked in" by the birth rates of previous gene

"Winning Chess Tactics" by Yasser Seirawan might be a good sweet spot. It has some board positions and uses a bit of notation, but it's still pretty easy to read and is a natural step up from intro play into basic tactics...

Congrats on the IPO - Amplitude is a great product and the team behind it seems genuinely awesome. I had a question about your view on the enterprise software sales process? Currently I am avoiding upgrading from the free tier of Amplitude
