It's worse than that. EVs attract nails like nobody's business. It's a combination of the weight, torque, and rolling resistance optimizations, I think. This holds true for most EVs. I lost a tire completely at less than 250

For all of this, Google doesn’t create very good products anymore. This is a guide that came into being _after_ Google was successful. It’s not _why_ Google became successful. Yes, if you have a mountain of money and a horde of underutilize

https://www.statista.com/statistics/218089/global-market-sha... This has it at 5.1%. But ChromeOS has a lot of corporate mojo making it work. It’s only partially open source. A lot of the good bits are closed. So

Housing is always expensive because human wants are infinite. Specifically the want to live in desirable places and the want to breed, breed, breed like rats. The more housing we build the more humans will reproduce to fill those houses.

It’s in fashion to dislike fibers, but they’re a simpler solution that, IMHO, beats coroutines for the wide majority of cases. Even threads are a better solution for most cases. Coroutines are like the checked exceptions of C++.

Humans will breed to fill all available habitat. Building housing increases the supply of humans, just like building more roads increases traffic. Don't fall for it. The world doesn't need more humans. It needs a non-boiling atmos

The biggest draw is A/C. It dwarfs other usage. And unfortunately, A/C is sometimes required to avoid death. Precooling isn’t effective in that the A/C will still run for nearly as long during peak.

If you’re focusing on the PRODUCT, why hire at all? If talent helps a company succeed and vesting helps acquire top talent, isn’t it worth considering? Anecdotally, I know I consider expected value as part of TCO and vesting figures into th

There will always be an editor which is an order of magnitude more popular than emacs or vim, because it is an order of magnitude better. It doesn’t much matter which one it is. People will switch to it, and be productive. And when somethin

The U.S. population is still growing, which of course may be lag, but can also be caused by immigration. Countries need to keep the population growing to support Ponzi-schemes like retirement benefits. I expect poorer countries to continue

Not at all. Software has low marginal cost, but that has high fixed costs that need a monetizable market to sustain. Good software takes effort and great people. Those are expensive. If you can't monetize you can't put people on y

But at the end of the day, failed treatments still kill people. Some may choose the experimental treatment, and die, over the crappy chemo, which gives them a chance to live. Escrow won’t bring them back.

It’s not clear that it does make economic sense. Amazon may be burning margin for growth, or placing bets on the future relative costs of satellite vs 5G and cable/fiber which may not pan out.
