Wow sure got covered a lot. Thanks Dang. I’m going to go through the highest commented ones first

Your question is great and barring other incentives (comments in response to this), I’m also interested in how commercial viability impedes adoption.

In your opinion, what could be done to make the energy generated by fusion competitive? Can we add storage to the mix and therefore compete on a longer time horizon? I know storage itself is expensive.

Is it to say that fusion won’t get adoption from market forces alone, until the cost of construction lowers?

One of the best reads from Christensen, too. I refer to it often

Good write up. Classic Christensen.

patio11's story on his idempotency issue which led to repeatedly calling customers' customers comes to mind [0]. He personally called all affected customers!

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this story. As someone who failed a lot with B2B, I appreciate this. Also your bottom-up comment (startups rolls up into bigger customers over time through growth or acquisition).

Support system is definitely not often mentioned. Thanks for bringing this up

Good write up and thanks for sharing OP. I can’t believe it was just 2014/2015 that Stripe was an 100 persons company.

I find these super unpalatable

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your take. This is new to me so I really appreciate it

Unrelated: how do you remember your username?

Why did they change the name to ODoH?

From all the comments, I wished we had a chance to speak with you during our time. One of the regrets is not have met you. I came across a lot of your content the last couple of years. "On Shutting Down" really spoke to me

I searched "bing" and was expecting an easter egg; this needs to be a suggestion to Bing (Michael)

That's interesting. What's common from what you observe? Notification per user per month wise?

Building notifications multiple times made me appreciate this, so, so much. Even larger companies have trouble with notification. One of my worst nightmares is notifications from Reddit and Airbnb (sorry TommyDANGerous). I hate it when email, in-app, push don't sync.

Thanks for these resources! Definitely relate. CLI is the original chatbot

I basically upvoted every one of your comment on this thread.

Thanks for this detail. We need a People's History to video games

> The provider charged $6 an hour if you were accessing it from a 300-baud modem or $12 an hour for a 1200-baud modem.…What made it more expensive is that there was a significant time lag between the players and the game. Island of Kesmai processed a user command every 10 seconds, which meant that for every command given, you were paying $0.016 in game time.

Wow, did you recall paying to play?

IIRC it's a big deal because this is the first crack at cephalopod DNA - I don't recall where I read this. Anyone has a source?

I am interested to hear more about Ruined by Design. I read the sample chapter on Uber on the website [0] after reading your comment. The author seems very biased against any sort of good that might come out of Uber. Is the entire narrative anti-VC and anti-SV and deems the issue a systemic problem, or does the author provide counterpoints and examples where good decisions are made and can be made?

Is Yummy open atm? I used to live down Irving, but have only tasted their dumplings at King of Noodles across the street.

Kingdom of Dumplings (retail shop a few blocks from its restaurant - call restaurant and ask them) is great. It’s like ~$7-10 for a bag (I believe). They also have scallion pancakes frozen. I last went at the beginning of shelter-in-place

*edit - cash only, FYI

That’s an amazing concept. If samosa is a dumpling we can make fried chicken dumplings work

Oh for sure. Lasagnas are deconstructed dumplings in disguise.

As a dumpling enthusiast, thank you OP. @OP noodles are deconstructed dumplings. What do you think?

Are they open during the pandemic? Oh man, gtg.

It has not cross platform with Steam, which kind of sucks. I cannot play with friends that are not on Stadia.
