I deactivated my twitter account on Feb 5, 2023.
Email is hackernews a-t known d-o-t net.
- e40I loved that book (or did I read the short story? ... don't remember), and the movie was actually OK. Way better than the score on iMDB.
- What does metformin have to do with it? I'm not obese, but I'm on metformin.
- The similarities with Iraq are insane

The Daily Show segment on comparing them.
- > Few profession I have more respect for than journalists and police.
I’m with you on journalists, but the police have so many bad apples that I think the profession itself attracts the wrong kind of people.
- Yeah, I thought that was the main reason to use pnpm. Very confused.
- doi?
- > Unless you can prove otherwise, the default assumption needs to be that consolidation of wealth will lead to all those privileges being erased.
And the trend has already started. The latest budget big will make healthcare inaccessible to mire Americans.
- It could be added at the router? The child's computer could be identified and this header added, in a MITM situation... but, maybe that would be easy to defeat, by replacing the cert on the client? Not my area of expertise... really just asking...
- Did you install it on the same machine or a different one?
I was always able to install immediately on the same machine.
- Not true for us. We EV cert sign (the more expensive one) and my CEO ( the only one left that uses Windows) had this very problem. Apparently the first time a newly signed binary is run it can take up to 15 minutes for defender to allow it. First time I saw this, it was really annoying and confusing.
- Mathmatica has been around since the 80s, Jupyter how long? Far leas.
- I have messages from a deceased friend. I find it comforting to read them from time to time.
- I read that Star Wars still hasn’t turned a profit. This is only slightly in jest.
- The comment I replied to was providing annecdata about a bad experience. I was doing the opposite, to balance.
Your portrayal of my comment is not even close.
- What would be the point of collecting the data and then doing nothing with it??
- Honda dealer told me I had an oil leak. Odd, never saw oil in my driveway. Said no thanks. A friend mechanic looked at it and said there was no evidence of an oil leak.
Never going to that dealer ever again.
- I’ve used Signal across many devices for years with zero problems.
- I completely disagree with this thesis. In my years as a founder (>40), it was very clear when I saw many forks in the road. One would lead to me getting more wealthy and one would lead to me being able to sleep at night. I chose the latter. Clearly the tech titans have chosen the other path.
I also witnessed many other founders doing really terrible things. It’s a meme around here that technical founders mostly get screwed by the time IPO or M&A proceeds are divvied up. I saw that time and again. Yes, there are exceptions, bit they are rare.
EDIT: was on mobile, wanted to add more:
IMO, the system we have sorts for sociopaths. The people with the power (politicians, CEOs, etc) are far more likely to be sociopaths than in the regular population because the rewards are so great. Look at the Paypal "mafia" (as they are called by many), and their exploits after Paypal.
Here's the way I look at whether someone got lucky or not: were they a 1-hit wonder or did they serially create companies with vast wealth? The former are people that got lucky. I've known some. The latter are mostly sociopaths. I've met many. They are predators. Some of them actually triggered my flight/flight response, and until that happened the first time, I had never in my life (in a business setting) experienced that. I now know what it means, when I feel that feeling. What is interesting is that my body sometimes knows it before my brain.
- And we know, from simple math, the longer you wait to save for retirement the worse, much worse, the outcome. Compound interest is harsh if you don’t start early enough.
- You have the keyboard input up and it doesn't work? You see the text on your phone, but it doesn't appear on the ATV? Never seen that one.
