The website says that your vote is last-write-wins. I think the idea is I could sell my vote and vote for A, then later re-vote for B. Since you can't trust that I won't just re-vote it won't be worth paying for. But if you h

I feel like we should try asking it directly. Maybe it would tell us.

Man I really don't spend enough time doing ui. To op, the following is my thoughts on this whole thread, as well as a few other unrelated threads I've seen since starting to catch up on ui dev/web dev. It's not really re

How do you add value to an economy? Someone is paying for something. If I had a magic box that made widgets out of thin air, I'd still have to sell them to people to realize any value. If I sold $4.4T of them then yeah, I'd make $

I think there is a point here if you ignore the grumpy old man delivery. For example, even python which is dynamically typed, is strongly typed also, so you now have to not just know the distinction between statically typed and dynamically

Once upon a time, Marty McFly went back in time and people didn't know what a re-run was. Fast forward back to the future and it's now 2023 and I ask my 15 year old niece if she knows what a re-run is and she doesn't have a c

A good analogy is gps navigation. Imagine if instead of telling it where you want to go and having it generate a route with turn by turn directions, it reacted to every press of the accelerator or brake pedal and every turn of the steering

It's not just that they are native, it's that they are unique to that location. You are not going to get many people - other than the idealogical zealots like you - to agree that things that can eliminate a species from the planet

brittlebrush and globemallow are beautiful native plants. Same with the "weed" version of Arizona sunflowers. The 'weed' version of dandylion is pretty gross, but even that I'll sometimes just replant to the desert

This weed is growing in the low valley, not where junipers are growing. There are about 4000ft of difference here. The article shows Carefree AZ as an example of infestation, which is at 2400ft. Junipers grow at 6000ft. I can't believe

It is damaging. The Sonoran Desert is home to plants and animals not found anywhere else on earth. The desert is alive. It is not just some sand in between freeways and stucco houses. These plants spread rapidly and cause more frequent and

Sounds good. Thank you for taking this the right way - I found it hard to articulate the criticism in a constructive way with few words, so it was verbose and I hoped for the best. Amazon, for all its faults, has this process well defined.

With all due respect, you really need to be able to explain the goals in a sentence or two, and then follow up with a link to the pdf. An elevator pitch, a vision statement, a clearly written user statement, all would go a long ways towards

I'm sure in 20 years we'll learn this causes cancer. And someone will be posting an article on how to remove this from the water supply.

This is great! And retro, your channel seems cool. I think I have a 3com Audrey Ergo in the closet if my wife didn't toss it. It you're interested I'll send it to you.

I wouldn't be surprised if they found a faster turbotax made people trust it less. You want to see it chugging away to "find your deductions" and "catch your mistakes". Ironically the hardest thing I needed TT to do

Honest question: How do hospitals hire doctors (industry hire)? Do they quiz them like they did to the residents on Scrubs? Do they pull up a list of symptoms and ask what they would test/try next? Do they show them x-rays and ask them

QuickBase and Knack are along those lines. A long time ago I used QuickBase. It was like a Google sheets before google sheets and you could couple multiple sheets together, relating them. It has probably come a long way since then, but iron
