Seems like their homemade ones were working pretty well at a fraction of the cost.

HaywardT ,

Down votes for you being an anti-witchhuntist?

HaywardT ,

It’s pretty much the only place left to operate. Protectionism has stopped innovation everywhere else.

HaywardT ,

Any consumer electronics is difficult to get into. Certainly the auto industry. Railroads. It’s difficult to start an ISP, even a non profit one. I think the list goes on.

HaywardT ,

People don’t speed because they are distracted. People speed because they think they are better than average drivers; every damn one of them.

HaywardT ,

Hopefully this change will alleviate that problem.

HaywardT ,

Or people stop speeding.

For the same reason police shouldn’t be allowed to participate in white power marches in their uniforms. They are supposed to be neutral.

HaywardT , (edited )

Ok. Same reason firefighters are not supposed to let their kids wear their helmet while selling lemonade. They are supposed to be impartial.

Right now I use all/new as I build my subscribe and block list. Eventually I will use subscribed/scaled

Look at the Akron and Macon. Big advanced helium filled. Zeppelins don’t handle weather well.

Have you ever tried silkscreen printing?

I’ve wanted to try it for a long time, but never got around to it. I’m curious about any techniques that are more grass roots outside of the commercialized space, like what are the absolute minimum things needed when repeatability, convenience, and time are not important factors, but money and access to rare markets is...

HaywardT ,

Ive done it just for fun. It was some time ago. Bought a screen in a frame, a squeegee, tried a couple mask methods but was most pleased with the photosensitive stuff. It is quite fun and results were impressive for the short time I spent on it.

I absolutely love milkshakes. I just wish they loved me more.

Is this what god feels like?

It’s a cleanse

Operating rooms are about to become interesting.

HaywardT ,

If you have two resistors in parallel the current doesn’t just flow through one resistor. You will get shocked. That’s why you yell “clear” before juicing them.

HaywardT ,

TIL

HaywardT ,

Why is that a weird take? Seems to me the price should be the price across the board.

HaywardT ,

Seems especially true where you tip before being served.

HaywardT ,

I’m for transparency in pricing.

Something on my mind… ((read body section)) (www.youtube.com)

((No I’m not supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people. What I am trying to do is, start a conversation about how we as a country (the US), sure seem to be getting pushed and pulled into debates about just about everything under the sun. Perhaps I’m not informed as well as others might be. Maybe I’ve overlooked...

HaywardT ,

The news requires we be upset. That’s where the money is.

Good things are happening around me all the time. I try to stay in the present (though sometimes I do dwell on my future too much.)

Trump told oil executives and lobbyists that he would undo Biden’s climate policies (www.carbonbrief.org)

Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House later this year. During a dinner for senior oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, Trump “vowed to immediately reverse dozens of president [Joe] Biden’s...

HaywardT ,

Even if they were both the same, a loss for trump means a $1bn loss for the oil companies.

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

HaywardT ,

Beyond just game studios, why aren’t there more employee owned companies?

When Starbucks was unionizing I made the comment that if I were the corporation I would just get out and let the employees run it. I got flamed for this attitude. What is so terrible about employee owned companies?

HaywardT ,

So you are saying employees in employee owned companies are rent seeking social parasites?

HaywardT ,

You are the hero we need

HaywardT ,

So what I am now hearing is it is hard for them to get seed money.

HaywardT ,

This might be tangentially relevant fed.dyne.org/post/146187

HaywardT ,

What can be done to change this?

I think a lot of people need someone to blame for their own unhappiness, too. I would like to see this change, but I am not sure how it can be done.

HaywardT ,

I’m a better bookkeeper than I am a coder. I would join.

So many roles can be fractionalized that it seems doable.

Strategic leadership and consensus might be difficult. Design by committee could be the biggest enemy.

HaywardT ,

That’s a much higher percentage than I expected.

Benevolent capital is out there, especially in the startup phase. I find it arrogant and ignorant, but available. It does require risk-sharing which I find doesn’t fit the vision of the borrower.

HaywardT ,

To me the opposite appears true. Beyond economy -of-scale can you give me some examples?

HaywardT ,

This is kinda off the subject but do you live this life? Would you like to code something for no money that would help people?

HaywardT ,

I don’t know where you are located. I am in the US and a co-op is just a corporation so all the things that apply to a private corporation apply to a co-op. When applying for grants there are no differentiators that I can think of. One advantage for a co-op here is that there are no passive investors.

HaywardT ,

That is great! Thanks for all you do for others.

HaywardT ,

Can you tell me what city this is? For me this would be reason enough to move.

When you get a call from a middle-aged male coworker who had tried to coerce you (younger female) into letting him drop you off at home on a Saturday night: do you call back, text, email, or ignore?

Please read post for full context; any help or input is appreciated! I disclosed sensitive info to a close female coworker (let’s say Ann), who is best friends with the male coworker mentioned (Ned). I’m sure she told him, but then they both seemed to want me to still tell him directly. I did because I believe in doing the...

And the rest of you are COBOL programmers.

HaywardT ,

I believe Intel is on track to do it again.

HaywardT ,

I read an article recently that talked about enabling and disabling cores on the fly.

I think chip binning is perfectly reasonable.

When IBM did this with mainframes it launched Amdahl into existence. His machines were basically the same machine except they were unharnessed.

So that big pharma can get a piece of the action.

How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food?

My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself. I’ve heard that supermarkets throw out massive amounts, but have never been in a position where dumpster diving...

HaywardT ,

I had a friend that was very good at it.

Get in and get out. Dont hang around. Don’t hesitate.

He said he thought it was like fishing in that you just didn’t know what you were going to get.

HaywardT ,

Rather than fission power choose fusion power delivered wirelessly to you house. Our space based fusion reactor can provide you with clean, reliable and inexpensive power today.

Your friends at fusion electric

HaywardT ,

I don’t understand why individuals are so set on centralized generation. We suddenly have the capabilities to decentralize generation and greatly reduce the need for the grid. I think it is worth it for the aesthetic advantages alone.
