> But it was easy to prove warfarin was safe: a pest control officer held a series of local meetings where he ate warfarin-treated rolled oats while discussing rat control.

Got to love those live demos. Eating rat poison in front of the audience to prove it is safe!

I'm guessing you have never driven though Nevada.

I think it is a bus maybe? I can see out a window over some seats, and the overhead compartments don't really look like ones i've seen before.

That being said, that is absolutely amazing they brought a wii where ever they were going to write and debug this while traveling! That is dedication!

EDIT: nvm, there are multiple pictures of them traveling. First one looks bus like, second one look like an airplane.

Yep! I have a small setup with just some used food grade pickle buckets, and have been growing greens and things for a bit over a year. Going to get some more and expand them this year. It literally uses no power as pumps are not used, and water usage is very minimal. I live in the desert so low water usage is very important.

It's an interesting hobby, as you have to adapt it to the area you live, and where you grow the plants.

> Now they have a whole suite of successful products.

Like what? Do they have anything that actually brings in income other than advertising?

SpaceX also is Twitter(X), and Xai. So they already have several products that are loosing them money. Not sure what else they have in the pipeline other then ai data centers in space.

This seems fairly interesting. However I can’t find a link to the original 30 papers?

The link on the repo takes me to some site that wants me to “compile” papers for some reason.

Edit: nvm I found them hidden lower in the read me with a link to a different document.

I’m another happy customer. I use them to backup all of my wife’s work, and all of our personal files and pictures.

I recommend them to everyone who asks me about backups.

The utter simplicity of just having ssh and zfs as a service is killer! I can connect anything I want to it to back however I like.

And it just works.

I’ve been told that too. But I’ve done self pay for the last year, and every time I go to the hospital they instantly give me a 30% discount.

That makes me think they are artificially inflating prices so that when the insurance company negotiats their discount, well, it might be the same as what I pay

whoa.

How is that even allowed?

> Here’s the thing, if your core business function depends on some capability, you should own it if at all possible.

If I'm building something that allows my customers to do X, then yes I will own the software that allows my customers to do X. Makes sense.

> They’ll craft artisanal monitoring solutions while their actual business logic—the thing customers pay for—runs on someone else’s computer.

So instead I should build an artisanal hosting solution on my own hardware that I purchase and maintain? I could drop proxmox on them and go from there, or K8s, or even just bare metal and systemd scripts.

But my business isn't about any of those things, its about X. How does owning and running my own hardware get me closer to delivering on X?

No kidding. I just want one that I can use one handed again. I’m on the IPhone SE, have hands that can play an octave + 2 additional keys on a piano, and I can’t reach the whole screen with a single hand.

I’m probably just holding it wrong.

Well, there goes my week.

I have a hard time getting into games anymore, but hollow knight was one that actually kept my attention enough to finish. Super great game!

I am not the one who submitted it. But someone mentioned it last night:

I assume someone else looked it up and liked it enough to submit it.

I got a patch:

  @@ -12,6 +12,8 @@ The 90s gaming console experience was:
  
  1. Grab your game cartridge.
  
  +1.5. Blow into the cartridge slot for some reason to make the game boot on the first try. But in reality you are slowly destroying the contacts and making the problem worse.
  +
  2. Insert cartridge into console.

  3. Turn on console.

Fixed it.

Honestly though, the experience of just turning it on and being in game was great. I had access to an NES and an SNES growing up and have a lot of great memories playing games with friends.
