   I think customers do care but there is a lot of friction in the process to change. Took me several hours to switch energy sources, should be a toggle option on an app.

   Just a peek into how entire ecosystems might irreversibly collapse. Just imagine if krill shrimp are similarly affected as they are critical link in the food chain.

   I wonder what NYU prof Scott Galloway thinks of this given his Oct 2019 prediction that Tesla will lose 80% of its value.

   This is another clickbait article from BBC on how "Japan is weird". The number of kids in the free schools seems tiny at about 0.2%.

   Unless I NEED to use a new app I skip any sign up process as soon as I'm asked to share my e-mail. You rarely need to actually have contact info for the vast majority of products unless your business model is based on selling that info

   My instinct tells me that it's probably a former employee who understand the layout and lax security.

   Both of your statements, 1. MBA types are exclusively short term focused 2. Apple makes long term strategic efforts, can't be true then.

   None of these are clearly indicative of short term thinking. The keyboard was simply a mistake of prioritizing thinness over reliability. AppleTV is a long term play to own home media (which may or may not work) and the massive investment i

    Tim Cook has an MBA, would you say his actions demonstrate a pattern of short term bottom line focus?

    I've seen this trend get worse on HN were top voted comment is just a response to the title and not the actual heart of the article.

    GP is trying to subtly let you know that you've significantly reduced negotiation leverage with any potentially interested party. There no benefit to you to publicly state your cash position.

    Any reference on this as it doesn't make sense intuitively. How does increasing supply increase price? I could see how this could have hyper local effects in UHCOL locations, where you attract foreign investment by virtue of showing a

    Should be relatively easy to spot this pattern and flag for secondary analysis. Things like, frequency of purchase, rate of returns, five star rating pattern, consistency in rating reviews (always with a picture, always a certain length), a

    That's about $125k USD. Which is high probably for a PA in general but probably seem unsurprising for PAs for billionaires.

    Netflix content these days feels like Madlibs. Take actor X in setting Y with the problem Z.

    As a consumer I almost always wish more was edited out. Too much time is wasted on random anecdotes, stories, etc. that have nothing to do with the topic hand. Maybe there are two different audiences as well. One that likes the podcaster an

    I wonder how much of this study is permanently skewed by being on HN and it's specific audience - as well as all the redos.

    I think the main thing that Apple here is trying to avoid is an iPhone catching on fire due to a 3rd party battery installed by a Mall Kisok repair shop guy who was hired a week ago. They know that the nuance will get lost and the story wil

    Don't car manufactures use different brand names for luxury and mainstream to indicate who the product is for? Customers would be confused if Toyota took a new mid-range Lexus, kept the pricing, but branded it as a Toyota Avalon (the h

    Earth will be fine, people will not. Climate change sounds innocuous as daylight savings and needs to be rebranded in order to resonate with more people.

    Private higher education will always increase inequality in the long run as the wealthy can find ways to optimize/game filters. For the wealthy the more complex the filter the better as they can pay to navigate the complexity.

    Climate change sounds as innocuous as daylight savings. We should call it the impact it will happen to people. Maybe climate caused catastrophe, or climate extinction, anything but climate change.
