I would love to risk my one wild and precious life doing microbiology in a lab off-world

Alternative take: I did look up that exact word while reading the article. It’s been a minute since I saw it in a chemistry context. For me, it was nice to see someone else with the same question and that they took the time to post a concise definition.

There was this article about Iceland combatting teen drug abuse by providing alternative activities and social outlets:

You may want to consider allowing people to register to be notified after beta when its GA. There’s probably a decent number of people who are interested but for whom signing up for TestFlight is too much friction.

Sad to see that FloydHub is shutting down, but I an excited to see what you build next.

Maybe you are right. A lot of comments here are complaining about the post in terms of scant evidence. Someone could pretty easily myth-bust this, but I have not seen that in the comments here yet.

How about BSU? It could stand for a lot of things... but I like Bull Sh!t USB. Which I think is an appropriate eye-poke response to an annoying organization.

Yeah, this was my initial confusion with the article and many of the comments. When I read the doc by Musk, I assumed, that the tube 'floated' over the pylons. The author seems to have assumed the opposite. The problem is that they are both assumptions.

When making an argument, sometimes it is good to make an assumption and then prove the assumption is false... sometimes it is just a straw man.

I agree with this observation. I cringe when I hear other comments talking about people driving through traffic trying to smooth out traffic waves. I am very suspicious about the claim that this speeds things up for anyone.

People accelerating hard and braking hard is not good for traffic, but if there is some guy moving slower than possible on a highway with a lot of commuters, many people will need to change lanes to avoid that obstacle. That is not good for traffic either.

And... whats the f-ing title of his book. I understand he is not self publishing but I thought that he said that in todays world he was still responsible for promoting his book. If so I think he failed a little bit here.

Yeah, I love the idea, but I had to hunt for the install for a while too.. For a second I started to wonder if this was another good kickstarter idea that was unlikely to ever come to pass... very happy that is not the case.

Yeah, I agree. As a for profit company it seems like a really immature thing to write.

I think it's pretty clear there is a problem in education finance. That problem affects a lot of people of different racial backgrounds. Comments like that create discord among the very people you are claiming to want to help.

I think that the magnet idea could work if you added 3 electro-magnets to the router chassis and made another chassis (to ride around underneath) with 3 corresponding ferro magnetic pads.

This article just doesn't ring true to me at all. I am a developer in the Bay Area. I have helped recruit other developers from Google and other dominant Bay Area companies. I have not yet encountered the idea that developers ever feared career reprisals when leaving Facebook, Google, etc. Could be selection bias, I guess.

I wonder if you can use money from your angel round to buy a seat?

Did La France actually do a better job defending freedom than the U.S.? Whoa, the world has changed... that's like the U.S. leading France in croissants and afternoon sex.

Chrome on win, works well for me ver 10...

No works great for me!
