Maybe I’m using the wrong term but my understanding is that the carbon comes from the feed, which itself pulls it from the atmosphere. Thus, it came from the air, and goes back into the air.

The fossil fuels did the same but on a grander scale and longer timeline where the carbon becomes sequestered. Carbon taxes on that make sense.

I’m not seeing the benefit to taxing the cattle.

Your link is in support of a carbon tax on fossil fuels but makes no mention of farms, cows, or cattle.

Did you mean to post a different link?

And the fossil fuel should already be taxed to accounts for its externality so I agree. I’m missing something here.

Could you explain which externality this is? I know they produce a lot of methane which is more of a GHG than CO2, but as far as I know, that methane is a part of the carbon cycle so it should be a net neutral contribution.

TBH, as a founder with 15+ years experience and a family, I think you're on track. I'm starting a new thing right now with some built-up runway before I go raise a round. But in my position, I also know that I can go find an FTE or contracting position within 1 week if I needed funds to pay the bills.

The level of confidence you gain after years of doing this lets you take the risk without worrying about the money. I've never let my family be in a position to be at risk, why would that change now?

This is a deep cut. And c’mon, you can’t blame people for thinking Paul’s the good guy. He’s badass. It’s a great story.

It’s when fiction becomes non-fiction that it’s a problem.

Personally, I don't see this situation as being that different than how people might make jigs, modify tools, make checklists, etc. to make their job easier/more efficient/safer.

Live and let live, knowing that you were intelligent enough to solve a problem where others couldn't. That's a skill that is transferrable and that can't be destroyed.

This seems more complete.

Of those 57 sales, were there any that truly loved what you built? That couldn't live without it?

Focus on making 10 people really love you, make their problem your problem, and you'll likely figure out the answer to your questions, eventually.

I’m in that camp. My kids and I don’t have issues, but my wife does. We’ve had to de-train in Germany once and go to a hospital due to a reaction while on vacation. Last week in NYC, we bought food and were ensured that it didn’t have nuts. But we forgot to ask about sesame seeds/oil. No hospital this time, but she was unwell (vomiting) for the rest of the trip.

We are pretty vigilant. If her anaphylactic reactions were more severe (I.e. airway constricting) we would be much more strict. But this approval seems perfect for us, since it won’t change our routines, but means we’re not punished for accidents.

I think you guys are on the right track and this is a problem we are struggling with at my client.

I’ll test it out with them and see what they think. I will say that we were originally exploring Bright, but we had to rely on telling them what APIs and endpoints to hit, and they wanted to embed an engineer with us to help us onboard their product.

We wanted something simple that we could pay money for, have it discover all of our endpoints, pentest, and return a report.

1) please move pricing onto main site 2) please consider deploying on Azure Marketplace

The fact you’re including GraphQL is a big positive too.

I'll tell you about the time I didn't.

I took the money, bought a custom engagement ring, and planned a surprise proposal & engagement photoshoot in Rome. She's asleep in the other room with my 8mo son, and I'm about to go to bed with my 5yo son.

He ended up being worth $1.3B. Shout out to @apoorvamehta. We both did phenomenal.

It is, except that’s the short-sighted fallacy of this too.

He had $60. His options were: A) pay someone local to make it B) buy from abroad and save $50 to spend on other items to increase economic prosperity

Either way he gets his part. But without the inflated costs, he could have had more “stuff” and created other jobs.

We don’t employ switchboard operators anymore and our lives are definitely better. To me, protectionism would be like keeping operators employed even in the face of modern switch technology.

To me, it’s like making a clear, well-supported, and coherent argument, but nonchalantly adding curse words. It adds nothing, except alienating those who might otherwise have listened.

It’s harder to do, but I’d rather get to the future with everyone in tow, not just those that think or agree with me.

I don’t think the “woke-mind-virus” superlative is conducive to the type of conversation we should be having but otherwise I fully agree.

Canada does nothing to promote home-grown economic prosperity. What is the value in adding those taxes and fees on a $10 part? Do we honestly believe that type of protectionism is going to create a bunch of jobs domestically?

Our GDP has grown mostly due to real estate. I work in tech and run a software-based business that does very well. But every time I look to secure new clients, I always look south. I haven’t been employed by Canadians in over 10 years.

Maybe adding your location would help centre some of the discussion.

A few questions, feel free to leave them unanswered.

1. What leads you to believe you'd be a good teacher? 2. Why are you looking at the high school level? Not higher or lower? 3. Why focus on local school systems in-person vs. online? I'm not suggesting Udemy, but I'm thinking something more focused with kids looking for privatized learning.

I ask these questions as a dad to a 5 year old that I'm trying to teach programming to, eventually. Just looking to hear perspectives.

“Dahdouh was hit by shrapnel on his upper arm and managed to reach Nasser hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries, the network reported.

The correspondent – whose wife, son, daughter and grandson were killed in an Israeli airstrike in October – said the Al Jazeera crew had been accompanying civil defence rescuers.”

The man lost his entire family, continued working, got hit by shrapnel, and watched his cameraman die.

My heart goes out to him. What an unfathomable course of events.

I wish you had built this in 2021 but congrats!!

Message me, might have a use-case with a Fortune 100.

Can you explain what you mean by this question?

I share your frustration but part of this has to be incremental to get people on-boarded and interested. Most people will search for Raspberry Pi, not Linux. Now, will those tutorials point out at the end, “Hey, this applies to most Linux distros, click here to learn more.”? Would be nice but probably not.

Also, in my old age and as a parent, I also search for the same. And I’m the kid that installed Slackware from floppies at 11. Could I figure out which commands to write into the current Debian distribution that Raspberry Pi uses? Definitely. But I have limited focus time with my kids. I’d love for him to learn the basics too, but that will come. At 5, I just need to wow him with all the cool things he can build. The details can come later.

Of course it is! That’s why I have nothing but love and patience for my son. But we usually learn to put that aversion aside when we understand that it’s for a good reason. That part takes time and maturity.

If it helps with the pain of downvotes, I appreciated your sarcasm.

Apt. Took the kids for vaccinations this morning and was telling kiddo last night about how amazing vaccines are and how polio doesn’t exist anymore because of it. Sounds like I was technically wrong, but practically right.

I also told him how amazing it is that when I was his age, I had the chickenpox, but that he will never get it because they developed a vaccine for it.

None of this helped him today with not freaking out over getting a shot, but hey, I tried and I made it clear why I had to hold him down. Sometimes, irrational fears win. We’ll get there, he’s just a kid.

Yeah I remember hearing about this and being similarly appalled. I get it. The US really wanted to kill Bin Laden. But the manner in which they did it is sickening.

The ends cannot justify the means.

Thanks!

I think their concern is whether the public healthcare system will actually cover the cost. I think they should and will. Certainly cheaper than all the other treatments over the course of their lifetime.

I think it’s possible folks may protest against it for cost reasons but also for the eugenics-slippery-slope argument. I hope that doesn’t happen.

My goddaughter (and her older brother) have sickle cell. Her parents have been hoping and praying for some development in this field for years now. It’ll still be a while before they can obtain this treatment in Canada, but suffice it to say, it’s likely to be cured in their lifetime.

It is debilitating and affects a lot of their everyday life. I’m really happy this is progressing.

Fair!

But the current manufacturing of EVs and batteries isn’t carbon neutral or net zero until well into a vehicle’s lifecycle.

It’s still worth doing but we should understand the true cost.

It is very rare that anyone truly cares. I’ve only had this be a real issue with flights when someone uses my preferred name even though I tell them not to, and it inconveniences me while I try to fix it.

Most people get it when I tell them, “no one calls me Xitij, it’s impossible to pronounce.”

I had to solve this problem too. For my first son, it wasn't that easy, it was many hours of Google searching, only to be "thwarted" by my wife's off-hand suggestion that actually worked out well.

For my second son, I used ChatGPT to help. It nailed it.
