I’m going to NY next week and really appreciate the reminder to go eat at Katz again. 🤤

Planned obsolescence at play here 😢 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

The luxuries that come from anything with a battery are great, but everything running a lithium-ion battery has its days numbered, and that’s really unfortunate for the consumer and absolutely stellar for the business.

And its hella fun…

Just as long as they also cap property tax and insurance increases at 3%, I’d be fine with that. I had both more than double in price in 3 years.

You pass butter…

This is…perfect.

Personally I think the mistake was letting mice run around the front of the house during my last visit. We pointed it out to the staff who gave us the most fake surprised look I’ve ever seen.

It’s too bad, their Cajun Chicken pasta is FIRE.

You’re doing it wrong IMO. ChatGPT 4.0 is freakin’ amazing at helping on coding task, you just need to learn what to ignore and how to adjust the prompt when you’re not getting the results you want. Akin to the skillet of googling for programming solutions (or any solution), it gets easier with practice.

For an administration so desperate to cut back on global emissions, keeping cheap and apparently reliable foreign electric vehicles out of US market seems so backwards.

I want to experience that. Jamaica was beautiful for the 6-7 hours I was there on my honeymoon. I can imagine how beautiful it would be to walk on those beaches at night with the galaxy hanging above. Man … you had a lucky childhood my dude.

I went to Google IO the year they announced Google Music (2013?) and they offered a special discount for those in attendance. I gotta hand it to them, even through all those transitions (Red, YouTube Premium) they have grandfathered me into the new services with the similar discounted price. If they ever took the discount away, I still kinda feel like the family plan is a bit justified given how much my wife and I consume YouTube content.

Bravo. I need to watch this show again…

Looks like https://youtu.be/9TjUWnAK0cg?si=A3_SR6Ih7JfB4yM- and I’m all about it.

Thanks for sharing! Cute video that articulated the training process surprisingly well.

Does Escape from Tarkov make the list?

No doubt he’s a egotistical dick, but to say the world would be a better place without him is categorically false on many grounds.

• The man popularized electric vehicles like no car manufacturers have ever been able to do.
• SpaceX’s achievement in reducing the cost per pound and reusable rocket tech will have profound implications on our species survival over the long run.
• Starlink coverage now provides relatively affordable internet to far more remote areas of the world.

So while I think recent years of criticism is fair based on his behavior (why the hell is he wasting precious time on Twitter again?) to say the world would be better off without him is to overlook the substantial contributions he has made towards technological advancement and global connectivity. It’s important to separate the individual’s personal flaws from the broader value of their work. Just my 2 cents.

Uh oh!! Somebody else is about to get wacked!

You can tell I’m more of a front-end guy 😄

A huge yet underappreciated impact on the modern world. People don’t realize how much work goes on behind the scenes to bring those apps/websites to life.

Thank you for all your contributions Simon. Rest in peace sir.
