It's not. COVID messed everything up, especially commodities prices.

Of course it doesn't include any of that. It's "independent contracting". Though keep in mind they're throttle e-bikes, so there isn't a lot of actual pedaling going on. And as far as accumulated workplace inju

The delivery vehicles being used in NYC are almost entirely e-bikes, so the expense is not as big as you might be thinking. It's certainly nothing close to the cost to gig workers for running an Uber car.

Huh? Lots of people wanted podcasts in Spotify. Why wouldn't they? Podcasts are hugely popular.

Have they replicated it widely though, and does their stuff work as seamlessly as Spotify's? Rather than look at hypotheticals about what others might offer, look at the present overall experience.

It's pretty easy to find 5% right now, especially with money market sweep accounts that invest in US treasuries.

There are lots of downsides to actually becoming a bank, though. It creates many restrictions on the kinds of things you can do, and unless it's the majority of your business, it's not something you want. Better to work with banks

By the end of the program, the space shuttle cost $1.6 BILLION per flight, or more than disposable designs. There's no point in doing reusable if it's insanely expensive! The SpaceX innovation was actually making reusability pay

by CydeWeys 3y ago
I don't think anyone is elevating them to gods, and also, it's true that no one was seriously working on cheap reusability until SpaceX did it. Yeah sure SpaceX didn't invent orbital rockets (no one claimed they did!), but t

Well it's a different group of people and that group will now know the consequences of attempting to remove Sam Altman. I don't see this happening again.

Oh yeah I distinctly remember playing Deftones over and over and over from local files on the PC version, to the point that all I can think about when I see GTA or hear Minerva is the other one.

I think it's fairest to categorize most of it as stretch goals. They knew the odds of accomplishing all of them on only the second flight ever (and first with this staging design) were quite slim, but might as well be optimistic and ha

Try copy-pasting a link that has actual whitespace in its URL queries and see if it gets linkified correctly. Just because you can doesn't mean you should! A space is like the one delimiter that is applicable for separating out URLs

That would be a very reasonable restriction. Anyone who works on Wall Street can only own broad index mutual funds.

Schooling is a big expense, and it's not much cheaper with high rises. (It's a little bit cheaper, but only because of bussing.)

Manhattan got the way it is today precisely because it DIDN'T use to have all of these restrictive rules prohibiting development. Indeed if those rules had been around a century or more ago, it wouldn't be the #1 city in the count

Right, none of that is the responsibility of the developers to provide. That's for the city to provide. What's going on, however, is that California has hamstrung its ability to charge its existing citizens the costs of the servic

Why is it the responsibility of a developer to provide public benefits? That's the responsibility of the city. The developers should just be building the actual housing, which the cities by and large do not allow at all.

Anthropic isn't publicly traded yet so it can't have too many investors.

He's also going to jail to prevent him from defrauding more people. Meanwhile Adam Neumann is still out there starting new sketchy companies taking people's money, most recently some crypto token thing (because of course he would)

It's currently in the descending price auction phase, so that initial one-time fee will go down over time (unless someone snaps it up first anyway).

The only hierarchy that really exists and makes sense is the ccTLDs, but only some of them. .de, .cn, .fr, .uk, etc., these are mostly registered by people and businesses within the actual country and used within the country as well. But

Except that it wasn't, because I didn't have AOL and thus they never worked well for me like a simple domain name did.

Namecheap isn't supporting the Early Access Program, so if you want to buy through them you'd have to wait until General Availability in December (and hope no one else got the name first through a different registrar that is doing

Yes and yes. If you really want a name badly, pony up more to get it sooner and beat out those other people.

Free TLDs end up full of bad actors and then face significant legal problems as a result (which they can't afford to defend). See e.g.: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/03/sued-by-meta-freenom-hal...

Yes, you won't pay for it if you don't end up getting it.

TLDs can't be canceled. At most they end up acquired and run by someone else. See: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ebero-2013-04-02-en

There isn't remotely any possible way to enforce this. There are thousands of registrars out there and there's no way to know all the domains owned by a single person or company. Even if you solve that problem, now you'd just
