> The drawdown in his voting stake has been so dramatic that Kurtz in December triggered a clause eliminating all of CrowdStrike’s super-voting stock...

A plausible explanation.

Today's digital entry experience is far from frictionless. Might as well add a scan of the PDF417 barcode on the back of the latest state ID cards.

I just went to a MLB game yesterday, and the digital process was:

    - Open ticket app
    - scan ticket 1
    - scan ticket 2

I imagine this could have been:

    - Open ticket app
    - scan PDF417
    - scan ticket 1
    - scan ticket 2

Precisely. ARRI is only a viable business because they also have lighting and lenses. Sony and Canon imaging subsidize their cine lines with their high-volume consumer products.

I live in San Diego and energy prices are relatively expensive. We installed solar two years ago and routinely overproduce 3+ MWh.

Now, with a heat pump, the wife and kids can set the thermostat for their comfort and I am less anxious about the monthly bill. The freedom was worth it, for us.

100%. The Jones Act is more than a regulatory hurdle for offshore wind projects; it's a crucial pillar for our national security and maritime strength. By requiring U.S.-built and registered ships, it guarantees high safety and quality, which is really important for complex operations like wind farms. It's about investing in our infrastructure, creating jobs, and keeping the U.S. competitive in the global maritime industry. It's a strategic move for our economy and national defense.

HTMX aims to render itself obsolete by serving as a proof of concept to advance the HTML specification. In various interviews and blog posts, Carson has mentioned that jQuery was essential only until browsers implemented features like `querySelectorAll`.

The discussion about Library vs. Framework misses the core objective of the HTMX project.

I'm a huge fan of riffing on architecture ideas, with chatgpt/GPT4, and then asking asking for a representation in mermaid syntax.

I currently use the maxmind webservices for client-side resolution in a commercial application. It's reliable but expensive enough that I'm looking for alternatives. I'm currently experimenting CloudFront's location request headers for a massive savings.

Where maxmind is $0.0003 per query. And my CloudFront concept is $0.0000015 per query.

It's a reminder that even some of our brightest minds are susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

It continues to look as if Musk believes a Twitter turn-around is largely a technical project--rather than tending to a community of users.

Oracle/Netsuite has an interesting approach to upgrades--they force them on you twice a year.

Upgrade windows aside, it's ok. I imagine that the sweet-spot for Netsuite are businesses that do 5MM to 100MM ARR. Possibly less if there's a heavy need for EDI, volumetric shipping, etc.

I'm a Padres fan, and I regularly see folks bring in Jimmy John sandwiches and candy. It's not a secret, but rarely publicized either.

I tried to launch something similar 9 years ago, rebaked.com. We sold the company 18 months later to a team that has since pivoted into a web3 offering.

If I were to do it again, I would pick a very narrow niche and have a few talented folks secretly working on the bounty side, full-time.

I do like that you have chosen to leverage GitHub for the collaboration operation. Best of luck to the team!

I applaud the San Diego Water Authority's efforts to diversify their sources. The Carlsbad desalination plant receives the most local coverage, but it's the investments in reclamation that will be vital in the coming decades.
