Yea I don't disagree, just wanted to point out that the hidden variable would not mean that matter actually behaves like a classical mechanics machine.
What's interesting about Tesla is that his visualization powess. He was gifted with insane capabilities of visualization. He said he would build assemble his inventions in his head, go to the lab to build it. And it would work on the first attempt.
That's similar to coming up with all the code in your head and passing the compiler and tests on the first try without any errors.
He was indeed gifted with insane sensitivity to his senses. However, he describes his visualization process as somewhat learned, like a brain exercise.
In the beginning, he described, images in his mind would be blurred but after "practice", they became much sharper.
Maybe it's a marketing problem? I had a tab of your podcast open, but never listened to it.
The writing needs work. There is too much. You need to cut down and try to distill the good stuff essence for each episode to make users want to click.
For example,
"QAWolf Helps You Create Automated Browser Tests as You Use Your Site"
You bring up a good point. I did try to make the titles kind of short (none of them are > 70 characters) while always trying to include the service name and the core idea of what the service does.
But a lot of those titles were maybe optimizing for the wrong thing. For example "Podia Has Everything You Need to Sell Online Courses"[0]. It's almost like I went out of my way to make it sound like a sales pitch but my goal was to include their product's name and the core idea of what it does. It does feel like it's trying to optimize for SEO such as "sell online courses" but the content of the show has nothing to do with selling online courses, it's about chatting with one of the lead devs on how they built the platform.
An alternate title based on a topic from that episode could have been "Podia survived Black Friday without breaking a sweat". If that were in a Twitter card the meta description includes it's a Rails site and it's always nice to hear success stories on how Rails does scale. It ends up have clickable interest for the skeptics out there and also Rails developers?
Very generous! Fwiw I bet you could make significant money (5 figures) if you made a longer version and charged in the $20-50 realm. It's hard to find quality up-to-date resources on these topics and the info is extremely valuable--the interest on HN attests to this. Also totally cool if that's not interesting to you or not your thing :)
If you change your mind, it shouldn’t be hard to handle the taxes; I think the approach would be the same as for hobby income.
If you’re in the US and filing taxes as a employee I think you’d just sum up the book sales and stick that under Other Income. If you’re already filing as a business or self employed, just roll it in no? Of course, other countries are available.
Anyway, I’d happily pay a few bucks at the very least for this. If it’s useful, it’s going to help my own income. If I see people who maybe can’t afford a few bucks can get it for free, I’ll be even happier to pay.
