Do the settings need to be changed or something so it's public? I just tried but it only shows me the basic info and won't let me chat. I have a paid sub so I should be able to use it if it's properly permissioned.
there’s literally nothing brittle about a $15 dollar pair of merino socks though, which is the argument I was responding to. If you lose it you can still buy a cheap backup and still have socks, nobody is spending all their time and energy worrying about losing a pair of $15 socks. Some things really do provide more value for a higher price, but everyone’s utility curve is different for each item.
Mostly though i think it comes down to the old joke “everyone who spends more than me is wasting their money on exorbitant whatever and everyone who spends less than me is a cheapskate.”
planning everything around rare failures seems silly to me. If an expensive item has good value, adds utility over a less expensive option, and can still be functionally replaced in case of rare failure mode, i don’t see any white elephant in that picture.
This is probably a very dumb question but I'm new to all this and trying to figure out how to mix/match these frameworks like you're describing. I have primarily a static site (using Jekyll, but Middleman would apply) but now need to add some server side stuff (e.g. with Sinatra). I see how I could dump my generated site into the Sinatra /public directory, but then I'm serving everything through the sinatra server when I really only want to hit that when I need the dynamic content/calls. How would I keep them separated while still having a single environment? Have tried googling to no avail, don't know if I'm asking the right questions. Any pointers would be super helpful! Thanks
No no it's all very easy, as is brain surgery: Think. Cut. Repeat. Nothing to it. Fine motor skills are irrelevant. Eyesight and depth perception play no role. Knowledge of the field can be learned immediately, in fact all you need to know is right in my three step directions!
In context it should be very easy to see why I phrased things the way I did. I do not personally think there's anything EXTRAORDINARY about US population size OR the budget amounts in question.
The current leading theories on how the brain works are that yes, they are essentially very impressive prediction machines, which obviously rely on all sorts of pattern matching to make said predictions. You can look up Karl Friston's free energy principle or check this book for more details
Sounds pretty interesting. Are there company or federal requirements for where the work actually takes place? I’m a legal US resident but spend ~80% of my time in Mexico.
I'm curious if you see 3rd party vendors being useful in this space. e.g. one person consultancy that can use Retool to quickly build out internal apps for other orgs that aren't able to get any internal dev resources
