> But it was easy to prove warfarin was safe: a pest control officer held a series of local meetings where he ate warfarin-treated rolled oats while discussing rat control.
Got to love those live demos. Eating rat poison in front of the audience to prove it is safe!
Yep! I have a small setup with just some used food grade pickle buckets, and have been growing greens and things for a bit over a year. Going to get some more and expand them this year. It literally uses no power as pumps are not used, and water usage is very minimal. I live in the desert so low water usage is very important.
It's an interesting hobby, as you have to adapt it to the area you live, and where you grow the plants.
> Now they have a whole suite of successful products.
Like what? Do they have anything that actually brings in income other than advertising?
SpaceX also is Twitter(X), and Xai. So they already have several products that are loosing them money. Not sure what else they have in the pipeline other then ai data centers in space.
I’ve been told that too. But I’ve done self pay for the last year, and every time I go to the hospital they instantly give me a 30% discount.
That makes me think they are artificially inflating prices so that when the insurance company negotiats their discount, well, it might be the same as what I pay
> Here’s the thing, if your core business function depends on some capability, you should own it if at all possible.
If I'm building something that allows my customers to do X, then yes I will own the software that allows my customers to do X. Makes sense.
> They’ll craft artisanal monitoring solutions while their actual business logic—the thing customers pay for—runs on someone else’s computer.
So instead I should build an artisanal hosting solution on my own hardware that I purchase and maintain? I could drop proxmox on them and go from there, or K8s, or even just bare metal and systemd scripts.
But my business isn't about any of those things, its about X. How does owning and running my own hardware get me closer to delivering on X?
No kidding. I just want one that I can use one handed again. I’m on the IPhone SE, have hands that can play an octave + 2 additional keys on a piano, and I can’t reach the whole screen with a single hand.

Fixed it.
Honestly though, the experience of just turning it on and being in game was great. I had access to an NES and an SNES growing up and have a lot of great memories playing games with friends.
I think the claim about higher efficiency is due to the fact that the sea temp is stable and they don’t have to deal with algae blooms at the bottom of the ocean.
I don’t see how taking advantage of the pressure at lower depths makes much sense. The water would still need to be pumped to the surface, which I think would take as much energy as just pressurizing it.
At the time, the mocking was well deserved. I remember downloading trailers for moves over my dial-up connection. Took the entire night for 3 minutes of video. Can’t imagine paying $5k for that privilege.
Today though, the mocking doesn’t make sense and is confusing. I haven’t ever owned a TV.
