Congrats!

Maybe I'm not the target audience for this, so pardon my ignorance when I ask what problem does this solve? Centralization and censorship?

Mildly is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. What does mildly depressed mean?

What’s the alternative here? No wolves and less biodiversity? That’s detrimental in the long-term.

The real issue here seems to be the forest fires that disturbed the wolves’ equilibrium.

> They might have some success because they put a slick interface over a shoddy backend, like Robinhood making a nice UI while farming out the actual clearing house work to a third party because they don't understand it.

Robinhood went self-clearing in 2018 and don’t “farm out” their clearing house work.

(Full disclosure - I’m speaking from a place of privilege where I can afford the subscription cost of Obsidian)

I hear you on subscriptions rubbing you the wrong way. Hear me out, though. This is a bootstrapped team that builds and supports apps that empower you, the individual. Your data resides in plaintext and you can use your own sync server.

Not everything needs to be a subscription, but I don’t mind paying a few dollars per month to support the team.

Just my 2c.

This has been my experience as well, although I’ve started hearing folks complain about wanting a slightly slower pace of life after living in NYC for a couple of years. Especially those who moved out of the Bay.

As someone with ADHD, I’m glad that the technology exists to create a RSS feed off a website even if the author intentionally doesn’t maintain one.

I don’t think “if it’s important you’ll remember it” is applicable to everyone.

I like it. It’s not deafening and has a unique profile.

Granted I haven’t traveled much, so I don’t know if it’s globally unique.

I’m a huge fan of https://lunchmoney.app. Small (1?) team and gets the job done for me.

What would you recommend reading if one wants to know more about Node.js event loops?

Yeah, I’m convinced that the concentration of THC found in products these days is unhealthy. I’m a weed user myself, but since legalization I haven’t had a great experience due to the high THC contents.

Where do you find the 3% THC in California? Hopefully, it’s someplace in the Bay Area.

Do you recommend a book that’s more up-to-date?

There's an assumption you're making, which is the current model of cities, ie. a dense downtown area, is the right model.

This wouldn't be the case if we optimized for the right set of constraints - all of the places you mentioned being in walking distance. If there were more restaurants in the neighborhood, I'd eat out thrice a week at the very least.

Anecdotal, but a co-worker’s parent works at NHIS and I’ve heard they’ve adopted Kubernetes.
