bix6··on Maybe There Was an Egg Cartel After All
Yes there is and nobody does anything about it thanks republicans. Bring back Khan.
bix6··on DHS Political Appointees Ask CISA to Secretly Obtain Voting Machine And Hack it
So if I’m reading this right team red is actively trying to find and exploit voting bugs.
bix6··on Are we sleepwalking into World War III?

bix6··on Theranos-Style Fraud Has Become the Norm
I see a lot of red flags if not outright fraud. But perhaps it’s always been this way? VC is for the taking if you’re convincing.
bix6··on Theranos-Style Fraud Has Become the Norm
It’s a movie review so they didn’t actually go in deep on the fraud.

FTX, Terra-Luna, Nikola (as mentioned), Builder.ai, Frank, Kalder, Joonko

O and have you heard about the AI labs and how they calculate ARR? lol.

Statistically significant though? I do not know.

bix6··on US federal budget deficit jumps 12% in one year to nearly $2 Trillion
I’m with you. How many more quarters of declining savings before the music stops?
bix6··on Super Intelligence
I cannot stand this administration and their Trump branding of everything. Fuck everything about this.
bix6··on Tesla Roadster
Are you sure it wasn’t the Porsche 956?
bix6··on Microsoft Teams is a red flag
I love when people shit on teams and provide no basis for why it’s so much worse than all the other chat offerings other than it being teams.
bix6··on We still use paper
Hard to imagine for me. I love the feel of pencil. And the mind feels different.
bix6··on We still use paper
Wealth is already concentrated. They’re just coming for the top 10% that affect the software devs now since they’ve taken everything else. You talked to anyone with an “unskilled” job in the last few years?
bix6··on Waymo in Toronto
Fair point, Uber has a female driver mode now.

Doesn’t change my desire for better public transport though.

bix6··on Redesigning Source Control at Anthropic
From what I can find it doesn’t but he is the most popular poster here (and one of the most prolific) and ex YC
bix6··on Redesigning Source Control at Anthropic
Google was doing 40k/day in 2015 so this is actually amateur hour?
bix6··on Waymo in Toronto
Waymo is great. But I don’t want it in my town. More money and data for Google. No improvement to my local public transport.
bix6··on A week on the farm with Dylan Araps
It’s amazing how many friends I have who’ve suggested doing something like this but very few are willing to actually take the plunge. Congrats Dylan!
bix6··on What I self-host
For the self hosters: docker containers or not?

They are so easy / portable but perhaps systemd is a better option as the author suggests.

bix6··on How Amazon pushes up prices all across the Internet
Initiating self destruct
bix6··on SpaceX activated 100mph speed-limit restriction on Starlink terminals in Ukraine
This isn’t a fair comparison. Tanks require drivers, few companies would / could send those people in and there was no remote kill switch. Compared to a terminal that can be shipped in, setup by anyone, and has a kill switch. Elon isn’t physically “operating” these he just has control over the software.
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
Yes it has to do with oligarchs being oligarchs.
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
Walmart employees are historically on food stamps. Neither is sufficiently better than the other imo
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
I’m in the US and they continue to beat competitors. The logistics network is unparalleled.
bix6··on SpaceX activated 100mph speed-limit restriction on Starlink terminals in Ukraine
But Anthropic is the supply chain risk lol
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
I wasn’t aware thank you
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
I think EU still has a chance but here in America we’ve succumbed to the Bezos convenience
bix6··on How Amazon pushes up prices all across the Internet
You have a small shop that sells zip ties? The only place I would expect to find something like that is a big box store or a hardware store (which are all chains now).
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
More often than not. Why would I spend my valuable time at a big box store like Home Depot that might not even have what I need at that store? They are all functionally equivalent members of the oligarch class.
bix6··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
Is the Walton family not approximately equivalent to the Bezos family?
bix6··on Ask HN: Could you find funding if you didn't want to build a $1-10B business?
Would it? Now you’re beholden to an investor that wants updates. People don’t want to pay for experiments but will pay for good execution on a viable business plan.
bix6··on How Amazon pushes up prices all across the Internet
I’m not interested in a million places, I’m interested in one that has everything with 1-2 day shipping included. Convenience is a major factor.
