I’m fairly confident that we could all request not to be listed. Perhaps a closer parallel is to ask if the phone directories could be sued for publishing a number following an opt-out request...

Ironically, Ireland might be the most capable nation of reigning in big-tech given their preferred tax status and their subsequent mind-blowing profits residing there beyond the reach of the US feds—for now at least!

That’s right, if you want the job done, you have got to call the United Nations—then and only then—might they write and send a stern, toothless letter.

It kills me that they quoted Hal Varian in this piece. Hal is an Micro-Econ legend (full disclosure: I interviewed him whilst he was still at Berkeley and we exchanged 1-2 emails over the years since the move to Google). I highly doubt—and

Welcome to public audit, buddy. Every publicly listed firm has an audit team assigned and they UiP the ____ out of everything and anything your publicly traded investment throws at them.

My wife’s bmw has it too—but that’s too easy to disengage. Needing to pull over and get out to change the limiter would cool any road rage. I should have said: I’m willing to accept a longer commute and up to twice as costly autonomous vehi

Totally agree but I serve two masters; both of which treat me very well—so not only is the commute the worst part of my day, it’s also the only negative part of the day.

We need an infrastructure architect here in the us. The bus I commute on went under, and I can’t be trusted to drive 120 miles a day and keep my speed in check. I started looking at the most automated rides I could find (Tesla is leagues ah

Yes—-there has got to be more to the story-otherwise they could hire a sophomore Econ major, learn about elasticity, and pull in exponentially higher earnings. I have seen contracts between large manufacturers where one pre-purchases exclu

Exactly! Maybe 15 years ago I had the same confusion with fidelity—-why are my trades on margin when there is ample cash to support them? It’s all about the speed of settlement—margin unlocks the opportunity to transact in real-time. At the

Simple solution = let google use their, imperfect (false-positives) filter, allow them to collect $12 / year not to be blacklisted, and google to send all revenue to the Electronic Frontier Foundation or similar internet defending fou

This explains why so many of our orders have been shipped (and thus far, 100% lost) via Lasership. I for one would much prefer later delivery in exchange for the piece of mind (and functional tracking website) associated with ups and to a l

Suppose they did come to that conclusion: (1) Partners would gladly communicate that back—the payoff to keeping one gig on track is far less valuable than avoiding public scrutiny (2) If they did ask to move the goalposts, I suspect the cit

You call McKinsey when you have a problem to be solved. And, you lose the opportunity to observe the contrapositive. There are many documented cases of: call McKinsey -> things get worse, but in most cases (personal opinion) the outcome

This is why they cannot use the EDF for launch—nowhere near enough thrust. But thrust is far less important for sustained speed, where pitch speed becomes the critical element.

LiFePo4 is a fantastic middle ground between Li-ion and LiPo—I made out like a bandit at the end of the Obama administration when all the green startups went belly-up; Chinese LiFePo4 cells were a dirt cheap and ubiquitous in California bac

Totally agree. My use case: 3 seconds max (launch), 3 seconds in-flight would be out of sight— total power on time between charges is well below one minute. I’m tempted to guess that this would be the most efficient way of converting electr

Haven’t bothered :) Only “toy” EDF models, performance from an 8KW system revving at 60K rpm at 10S (10 lipo cells in series) swinging a 19” folding prop is on par with a mini turbine in terms of performance (0-> 180mph+ in under 2 sec

NiCd is actually more capable than NiMh, but suffers from memory issues (capacity decreases significantly if not carefully discharged and recharged; ie you cannot “top them off” without sacrificing capacity. Again, speaking from my lived ex

Lithium ion cannot output enough (low C) to make this feasible (yet). Much more likely using Li-Po cells, which are far more adept at emptying themselves at high load—but thermal runaway (eg insanely hot fires) is all too real with Li-Po, t

An electric ducted fan (EDF) is highly inefficient, had they put similar wattage through a gearbox to say a folding prop, efficiency may have doubled (albeit an admittedly more onerous form factor). This is just the beginning of electric as

Contact tracing: must be required. I work someplace where we have been grappling with the legality of telling coworkers about infected colleagues (when exposed)—the government needs to create liability for failure to inform others as oppose
