You’ve had lots of experiences too I’m sure

Makes sense. Millennial generation starts with people born in 1981, and ICP became big in the late 90s. So millennials were the teenagers when ICP hit big. I doubt many people in their 20’s and 30’s were jumping on the ICP train.

I think the ICP fans include at least as many millennials, maybe even more

I just had a related experience. I’ve been out of a medication for a bunch of days, and today i finally was able to get myself to call the doctors office to ask for a refill. The receptionist in a tone told me “ok but you shouldn’t wait till you’re out of meds to ask for a refill, you should call in the refill when you’re down to 5 pills left.” Arg. As if needing to call in a refill hadn’t been nagging on my mind daily for a month.

TBF she didn’t know i have adhd, but still. It took a lot of restraint to just tell her “ok” instead of giving her a long explanation of the struggles i deal with.

Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.

In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions

I think this graph doesn’t have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the “tech trigger” slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.

I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After “tech trigger” there needs to be “real world applications”. Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can’t get over the big first step, then it can’t proceed on to any secondary steps

Why not 1 tb?

I was gonna say I’ve never seen a price gap that wide

You just said that AC can’t make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it’s already hotter, because it’s using energy to do it. What you’re describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It’s like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it’s highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.

Fyi some microwaves have a way to set it to silent mode. I think in some models it might even be an undocumented button combination to do it. Web search your exact model to see if there’s a way to do it

Britain’s richest family has got to be the royals, right? Some wacky paperwork might make it look like it’s not that way, but i have to assume that that’s the case unless an in depth investigation specifically proves that it ISN’T true.

If you’re talking about ads that look like ads, it’s happened maybe twice since the mid 90s. But who knows how many ads disguised as content that any of us has ever clicked on?

And then there’s the famous case of the guy who was super early in on bitcoin and threw away the computer that had the password to the wallet, which eventually wound up being worth hundreds of millions of dollars that are now irretrievable

I don’t know much about stocks, but on every time span chart this stock looks like it’s in total disaster mode

Even if only half of those employees were working on the actual product and product-adjacent roles, it still seems hard to come up with 4500 jobs. In fact I think the number of employees might be what led to a bunch of their missteps over the past many years. Like the multiple interface redesigns that no one asked for and actively disliked.

Hah i appreciate the effort but i ain’t watching a 22 minute video just to find out how efficient tank heaters are compared to tankless. It literally just needs to be a list of like 2 or 3 numbers

I WANNA SEE IT I WANNA SEE IT I WANNA SEE IT!!!
