Hey all, everything is resolved, and I don't expect a multi-hour outage anytime soon 🤞 @Shewmaker - I get notified by PageDuty, so I'm on it within minute(s).

I ended up getting a maxed out 16" MacBook Pro with 64GB ram, 8GB vram, and 2.4ghz 8-core i9. I upgraded from a 2016 MacBook pro 15" touchbar i7. I was super psyched when I first got it, but after spending hundreds of hours on it, I'm …

Welcome to Cake! I don't shoot Nikon, but others are saying really good things about the Z7: https://www.cake.co/conversations/Hyz1fZD/some-reviews-are-in-for-nikon-s-new-pro-mirrorless-anyone-buying Unfortunately, you have to use the FTZ lens …

It matches the A9 Mk II in speed when using live view. It shoots 5.5K and 4K at 60p while the A9 Mk II sadly only shoots 4k@60 max. The video bit rate and color depth are also higher. Plus rugged construction and a huge battery, I think the 1DX Mk …

This is how I got around. I questioned my safety, riding on the back on an already-down'd motorcycle on questionably paved roads. But, it was a time saver with all that heavy equipment and a thrill.

Huge thanks to you, Robert! We've conversed so much on Cake over the years, but had never met in person until this shoot. It was a pleasure to meet you in person finally. I couldn't think of a better time and place to meet than on the dry lake bed …

> Well, they may have listened to @kevin ’s complaints that this was all a PR stunt for a truck that won’t be in production any time soon: Tri Motor AWD production is now expected a year earlier, in late 2021. (Source) Interesting, I wonder if …

I saw that. I'm in the market for a newer truck now, in the next year. My Subaru is on death's door because of its high miles. Sadly, the economics of the CT just don't make it viable for my needs. I'd probably need the tri-motor for the range, but …

I don't have an exact recommendation offhand, but I tend to upload 10 megapixel images in JPEG sRGB (with 85% compression quality in Lightroom), because that's enough size for even browser view ports on 5k monitors. You could start there while I do …

We want to serve an ideal image size to each user that matches their browser viewport, thus reducing data transfer, making it load faster. Most people's browser windows are far slimmer than 4072 px wide. Our image host, Imgix, does the compression, …

@Apocryphal, I'm here to help figure this out. It appears that the right image in the side by side comparison is shown in the composer, meaning the image has been uploaded and attached to the post, but not yet published. We show a low res image in …

This is a seriously incredible machine. I want one, even just for the cold-rolled stainless steel body. With all the specs Tesla boasts, it would sell so much better than any truck currently on the market. But, that tri-motor version, the only …

> I'm lauding electric chain saws and you're building supercomputers. 🥺😀 By the weekend, I'm country too. That's the irony. I needed your exact chain saw last Friday night. I went climbing in a remote area of the Sierra Nevada, and a fallen tree …

I've been a disappointed Mac user for years. The high cost for a mediocre Mac workstation is appalling. The new Mac Pro solidified this-- it's twice as expensive as near-identical PC components. So, instead of paying the Apple Tax, I built a …

The long-rumored 16" MacBook Pro is here and shipping very soon. The changes in this release appear to be an attempt to rectify the complaints of loyal MacBook users. It's thicker, to accommodate a better keyboard that might actually work. Plus …

> PG&E also admits they may be responsible for the fires in Lafayette. Sadly, I think this is just politics. Now that PG&E is bankrupt and EVERYONE is talking about them, they are trying to gain public sympathy. They're doing that by saying they …

It's infuriating that Exxon funds climate deniers, but sadly this is nothing new. We've known for quite a while that there is not a unanimous scientific consensus that there is a climate crisis because petroleum companies fund scientists to mislead …

I re-use Smart Water 1L bottles for climbing and backpacking trips, as they are ultralight, even compared to the weight of a camelback bladder. @Pathfinder, that reminds me. When I was a teenager, I'd duct tape Gatorade bottles full of gasoline to …

You're not crazy. The 1DX Mk III is for you for a bunch of reasons. Everyone is totally right, all that glass you have makes the 1DX III so compelling. At such long focal lengths, and for what you do, there is NOTHING better AF-wise that will …

Great question, Ben! Thanks for bringing this up so we can talk about it. There are numerous reasons why for most people, it is probably best to stop drinking bottled water. The biggest argument I've heard for bottled water is that it is safe …

He's determined, but investors have the same concerns we do: > Son is still determined to go ahead with Vision Fund 2 even though some lieutenants have urged a delay, the two people with knowledge of SoftBank’s internal discussions told Reuters. …

Yeah, I believe it. The blood thinning makes sense that it would help. And like ibuprofen, it's an NSAID which keeps the brain from swelling at altitude, which follows the Time's theory: > Many people respond by experiencing a mild swelling of the …

Glad it helps! Don't take Viagra like Top Gear did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovXaQbzgj0

Yes. It seems like saving face is what Son has to do to raise his second mega-fund, the Vision Fund 2.0. I can only imagine what investment banks and Saudi oligarchs are saying to him after his pitch, "But what about WeWork?"
