Here's why Carvana is absolutely slaughtering car dealerships: I found a truck I wanted, brand new or I would have used Carvana Called the dealer and talked to a salesman whom I know btw "Hey I found this truck I want, I've already researched, don't need to test drive, I just want to buy it" Salesman: "Ok when can you come in and test drive? " Me: "I don't need to test drive, I've driven them, this is the one I want. I'm pretty busy so is there a way to just do the paperwork digitally and do you offer delivery?" Salesman: "Sorry we'll have to have you come in for that and go through our finance office" Me: "Ok, I work every day until 5. I see you're open until 7 tonight can I just come by after work and pick it up?" Salesman: "We are open until 7 but can you be here by 5?" Me: "No, I work until 5 so it would be like 530. That should be enough time right?" Salesman: "How about Thursday the same time?" Dude I'm literally trying to throw money at you and make this the easiest sale of your life

The President has been clear from day one: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Once again, President Trump's efforts to establish peace have paid off for the American people, despite countless attempts to thwart it by people who hate America and President Trump.

Elon Musk is a trillionaire but it’s def the people on SNAP ruining your life

Elon Musk is a trillionaire but it’s def the people on SNAP ruining your life

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

15 STRIKEOUTS! Jacob Misiorowski has the most Ks by any pitcher in a game this season 🤯

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

there is no better time in tech than now to be a jack of all trades, master of a few. just make sure to keep adding to the few year over year, such that the cumulative breadth of expertise you collect becomes an increasingly rare combo. remember, if you're top 10% in 3 different areas, that already makes you top 0.1%. keep switching it up until you get to "your best", and then switch it up again (great for a particular flavor of people who don't enjoy resting on laurels, maybe not so great for others). question all institutional value and pedigrees, all traditional career paths or corporate ladders: the college industrial complex is getting shaken up, alongside a disappearing managerial class, so if you're pursuing either make sure you are fully internally aligned with why. social/political capital in a particular institution can feel incredible, but if you're spending all your energy on complex political people games, you're not a technologist anymore, you're an unelected politician. if you're ok with that, then all's well. critical thinking is more important than ever: take nothing at face-value, question everything and everyone. the equivalent of ai slop can be found in humans operating under misaligned incentives and interests. the sooner you're clued into disambiguating the talkers/larpers from the doers, the better off you'll be figuring out where and who to invest your time in. the anxiety of job displacement is very real, since a surprising amount of white collar work/prestige is built on a performative house of cards, significantly lacking in correlation with technical breadth, depth, and skill. as long as you keep learning, keep building, keep producing receipts, you will be fine. if all that sounds ok to you, welcome to the world of technology! it's truly one of the few places you can experience child-like wonder every few years, and be constantly humbled & excited by new adventures, as scary as they may seem at first. don't give up, drink your water, get your sunlight, and take breaks as needed. tech careers are notoriously nonlinear, so you might as well embrace it and enjoy the ride!

You know the reason your Stanley or Hydroflask is so good at keeping your water cold is because there's a vacuum inside the walls of the thermos. Heat can't conduct in a vaccum. And "radiated" heat is ineffective at the temperatures processors operate at. This satellite will be like plugging in your gaming PC without a CPU cooler. It'll be dead in minutes.
