You added an extra 0, $10,000/month x 20 years = $2,400,000. Still a lot of money however.

iPhone release was delayed compared to last year, so obviously demand would be shifted to the next quarter. It doesn’t make sense to compare the 2 quarters for iPhone sales.

"Money can't buy happiness, but you can distract yourself with consuming luxury goods" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. These types of quotes tire me (and ones like it, "have you ever seen anyone sad on a Jet

If you look at the supplemental figure S1 here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2020/08/07/sci... You'll see that the N95 exhibit an order of magnitude greater reduction than surg

The vents, at least on my 3M N95 masks, only direct airflow downwards.

This study was posted earlier this week to HN: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/07/sci... If you look at the figures, you see that valved N95 masks still outperform many other n

I think you interpreted this wrong. N95 were associated with higher reduction in transmission than others (eg. the 12-16 layer cotton masks you mention).

To lay down another level of irony, I just learned about Baader-Meinhof phenomenon an hour ago while watching Stranger Things S03E02. I am now prepared to read about this all over the place.

Silicon Valley isn’t what it is because it attracted companies, it’s a hot bed because it empowers people to start their own.

The premise of the article is that the speed limit is uncorrelated with the speed of traffic, other than a small (10%) group of drivers. Therefore reducing the speed limit to eg. Reduce flow into a junction, doesn’t work, people will contin

Why is “enough power to charge your phone” your line of practicality? Phones contain an enormous amount of power hungry electronics, bright screens, speakers, multiple GHZ CPUs and radios for transmitting across different spectrum. With 40u

Neither of those are targeted advertising... you are arguing for the opposite point of the parent comment. From the article, the EFF is saying that ads relevant to the content being shown are effective (like you’ve described here) without n

No, they didn’t. iPhone was released in June 2007, iPod touch in September 2007. Perhaps you are thinking of outside of the US? (First iPhone was sold in the US only)

This is a nonsensical straw man. People have died from lung cancer before me, does that mean I should continue a pack a day smoking habit? Your premise is built on humans being some passive observer to planetary changes. We’re not. Look at

Check if there is any debris/lint built up in the port. If so, use a toothpick to remove. The downside of a tab-less female connector is that it picks up more stuff and you have to clean it every once in a while.

Cherry picking 2 data points is not the right way to interpret a trend. 2016 was a spike, but if you look at the trend over the past 20 years (in the data set you linked) it is clear temperature is trending upwards at an accelerating pace.

Replace advertisers with governments, and your centralized store has now been breached. See Lavabit.

The problem isn’t necessarily “fake news”, it’s the ability to target it. This targeting subjects each person to a completely personalized information flow. It’s one thing to have propaganda be broadcast to all, where as a society we can di

The same is done in the photos app on iOS and macOS, all locally on device. I don’t have a picture of a drivers license, but I just tried “license plate” and “receipt” and both brought back all relevant results.

Exactly. Informing the user does nothing except maybe clear your conscience. Expecting the user to extrapolate to how you will use that data, what will be inferred from it, what risks come with centralizing and storing it, all of that is no

Your premise doesn’t make sense. A land value tax would not “increase all of their costs at the same time”, unless the tax was implemented in such a way. More realistic would be that the tax would be revenue neutral, such that taxes would i
