A good portion of HN already knows. Disney+ is struggling as it is. Giving people one more reason not to sign up is not good marketing. Losing 0.1% market share in case of Disney is probably worth more than the whole lawsuit.

If you’re happy working remotely then you potentially have a much larger pool of talent to choose from.

Statistically it will not be a very useful scientific experiment - too many variables, too small sample size. Plus he will die a lot sooner from all the pills he is taking.

Inflammation is still a symptom- body reacting to something that it doesn’t like so it’s like saying that almost every smoke goes back to fire. Not wrong, not horribly useful.

I agree with both of you, of course, but this means that in order to just break even you have to do something like tourism or similar just to cover your own costs of taxes and plowing.

Re Tesla superchargers - because Tesla is currently valued as a tech company at multiples of PE. Chargers are utility companies and command very low margins high upfront costs and high maintenance so are usually priced pretty low. In many instances utility companies that are private don’t even make profits and have to be rescued by the government and taxpayers in the long run so yeah that’s why.

Interesting that this is a place that is 10 minutes drive from a nearby town and yet requires all year round maintenance. At least in Alaska the government gives citizens tax incentives for simply living there but looks like owning a rural property in US nowadays is very far from homesteading of yesteryear- you have to pay taxes and pretty much need some additional source of income just to get by.

Web scale

As the article explains any Wise (a fintech popular for travel debit cards and cheap intl money transfers) that had USD balance was exposed with the breach.

All this burn and recruiters and bots still match on keywords in CV.

It’s hardly state of the art at this point. There’s lighter and more efficient drivetrains from Shimano bosch and many others.

A much better strategy is to just buy an index for the equivalent amount every time you decide on a disposable / luxury purchase. That way there is no guilt about being able to afford it and generally you hit your savings rate etc.

SpaceX has not outperformed anything for the later round investors yet. It may have a high hypothetical valuation in an illiquid market but it doesn’t mean you can sell your shares.

Once you start optimising for one parameter the other ones suffer. Over 500g for an umbrella is not acceptable in the space age.

I bought a cheap Chinese umbrella for $10. It almost never gets used. It probably is not designed to be repairable or durable yet I have had it for over ten years so the environmental impact is minimal. It is also very lightweight so I have it with me often.

I feel like I’m the right audience for this - a not very good climber with unusual distribution of limbs. But I’m not interested - part of the fun in climbing is on sight climbs and solving problems yourself.

You want odd numbers (n+1) so you can have a quorum in case of network partition.

There is some relationship but some scarcity is natural- where is trust in that?

Something not really covered in the article is the SEO boost from using substack and an easier conversion if you ever decide to monetise your blog directly.

You mean like Sam Bankman Fried whose both parents are in academia?

I did not realise monkeys eat meat. Which species is that?

It’s interesting watching GenAI from a distance.

The various iterations on GPT style architecture make me think that this is it for now, until some other breakthroughs there will only be optimisations but in its current form GenAI is not the sentient Singularity that some are praising. The models, even with optimisation are very GPU/ power hungry so it is inevitable to compare to blockchain and how it basically got us nowhere - a solution looking for a problem.

Hi Peter,

From a legal standpoint, would you say it’s easy for someone to provide remote work services directly to a US startup? How would you go about it- set up an LLC in Delaware or provide the service via the country of origin and send international invoices?

Futurama had this idea a long time ago

It’s funny that for an exactly same workload on AWS on raw Ec2 it ends up cheaper than the same cluster size on EKS…

Just as the Three Body Problem releases on Netflix and science starts to break down? ;)

Because schemas. The whole point of nosql is that you can alter your data model without having to reload the whole database

How do you make money?

So are they going to wait with their heart attack until trial is over? Maybe read the article first? This makes sense for long term medicine like diabetes drugs etc but this one is for heart attack

Streisand effect. The original review said the tomato sauce was full of sugar. Which it probably is. Indefensible and now the whole world knows about that.
