Your Hollywood origin story is a myth. Many of the first companies out there were Edison's. https://np.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/5ssgzn/did_fi...

The more people that could be even potential union members, the stronger the union's negotiating position is.

Obligatory incredible reddit comment about crowd crush https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/3pcvfb/saudi_arab...

I have two kids, 9 and 11, and neither of them are screaming and yelling about what music to play. If they want to listen to music, they know to go to the rumpus room and pick out a vinyl.

That is a good point, I had not considered that use case.

I don't use a smartphone

You could also just not buy one of those awful things. I have never seen a legitimate use for it that wasn't misplaced adolescent tech fantasies (omg I can tell big brother to make coffee and my keurig starts up!). But maybe my line of business has made me excessively paranoid / niche

I would like to make an edit: functionality for those with disabilities is a huge use-case I did not consider. Thank you for your insightful comments

Someone whom I know ordered a sizable quantity of 1P-LSD from them and gave a strip to me. I gotta say it was some of the best "acid" I have ever done, maybe even better since on 1P I'm actually able to fall asleep after 8-10 hours of tripping. With LSD-25 if I dose at noon I'll be up until 8am the next day. Other than that there is no discernible difference.

I'm almost positive they operate out of Waterloo's lab or have significant access to their facilities. Otherwise I'm boggled at how they can make sure pure stuff in such quantities.

Hopefully, the psychedelic legalization initiatives in CO and OR will pass and the US can catch up again ;)

No I studied Operations Research but dropped out.

Those are not stories, that's the industry. Right now most of it is based out of Waterloo with some in upstate NY but honestly the Canadians are wild - check out https://lysergi.com/ they are selling lsd pro drugs on the clear net!

If you have a storage unit why are you sleeping on the streets ? Or am I misreading?

I wish you the best of luck. I am friends with several published literary personalities and I can tell you it is not easy and took a lot longer than three years.

Less so than you might think. I met my share of characters, sure, but most of the time when I wasn't synthing I was either driving through the middle of nowhere or waiting around. I read a lot of books in a lot of motel rooms and taught myself Attic Greek and programming to pass the time. My first language was Perl via the o'reily book and I used to write out the solution code on a legal pad.

It was after I made the amount of money I wanted that things got weird haha

For twenty years I made and sold LSD across the East Coast. I spent my youth and perhaps most of my sanity doing it. For the longest time I lived by only one rule: Are you kind? Now I can pretty much do whatever the fuck I want. It's great, but not for everyone.

I wonder which startup PG is referring to in the first link...

Also, wow, all those comments of people plugging their level 3 and above startups did NOT age well

daily struggle that is desktop Linux

lol what year is this? 1999?

but I agree with the rest of your points

ah jeez better tell all my friends that we aren't actually friends since I don't have facebook...

You are not half as smart as you think you are and it is annoying

Yes

Drop acid

LSD

If you keep your LI profile up to date and have in demand skills, people will be knocking down your door to give you money. I've found all my best jobs from LI contacts tbh.

It was a wasteland for a while but in my opinion has rebounded.

Dick's interview with Groucho Marx shortly before the latter's death is legendary

Romero was fairly technical - he did a large chunk of the level design and coding around that with the editor. I think him and Tom Hall split that work.

It's incredible on HN the lengths people go to assert their authority and their righteousness over things they know absolutely nothing about.

Two lines still run a train model that's almost sixty years old! You can ride it to the Transit Museum where they have it on display https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R32/A_(New_York_City_Subway_ca...

In a few years the layer 1 protocols will be good enough for something useful and I would bet that we see something truly unique come out of the blockchain space that we never before knew we needed.

It's almost as if you are missing the larger point being made and taking your own experience to be the sum total extent of the entire issue.

I'm looking for something which can allow setup/automation of cloud resource scaling schedules or rules.

Terraform + chron/some timing script

but I'd like the advantages of some kind of web UI

Set up a Jenkins instance on $CLOUD_PROVIDER_OF_YOUR_CHOICE (~20 min) to run Terraform on a specified schedule
