How many products have you built and later shut down as a failure? How long have you been building microstartups? How many tries did it take to get the 3 successes in your post?

That's comparable to existing products. I was hoping to read that Apple made the device sealed and rechargeable via a mat or the like. This device will be used like find my phone - a removable battery will make it trivial for thieves

This is still strange though - it's not like images are destroyed when they are used for testing. Is there a reason for not using these in Look Around that I've missed?

What? Libertarianism basically sees two possible crimes: force and fraud. Totally incompatible with "might makes right".

This has been my strategy for a long time, and it works. The hard part is the bar for opening up is impossibly high. There's also the chicken/egg problem: someone can't get to know you without you opening up, and you can&#x2

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second one orders half a beer. The third one orders a fourth of a beer. The bartender stops them, pours two beers and says, “You guys should know your li

The public would be better served by reducing the number of things that are illegal to only those things that deserve to be enforced with 'zero tolerance'.

This is a good question to call out - the answer to the deeper question is that jaywalking (and many other "crimes") need to be decriminalized.

The image near the top of the article explicitly states the previous maximum house size was 6750 sq ft, and new maximum house size for a "1-plex" is 2500 sq ft. This is a prohibition on new big houses.

Real science is based on the results of experiments, the parameters and results of which are publicized and available to be reproduced. Questions and debate are good. They don't invalidate the findings of previous experiments. No amo

"Everyone else was doing it" is pretty close to "nobody else got in trouble for it". Which is the logic behind Qualified Immunity.

That doesn't follow in the slightest. Lethal force is not the only way to protect - de-escalation is how you protect without destroying lives.

As a counterpoint, I'll recommend the excellent book Achilles in Vietnam . It explores Achilles' story in The Illiad and how it illustrates the stages he goes through while processing what he has experienced as a soldier.
