Jason Calacanis was never ahead of anything, except a few more recent idiots. "Obvious, unactionable, or wrong" is a term of art created specifically to talk about Calacanis' advice. "Mahalo", a Hawaiian term loosel

Tesla is well known to whip cars with sometimes dozens of minor issues. It’s a new company and these processes need time and experience. The reliability data also is likely sourced from outside, such as the AAA, insurers, or any other place

There are any number of substances where there’s little doubt that they can cause cancer even at minuscule doses, just at similarly low rates. Get enough data and you will find that a single whiff of tobacco smoke (or any other smoke) can c

The dose-dependent risk of cancer is in textbooks as an example of linearity. While it is hard to shown for low values of exposure because any measurements/estimates would drown in noise and errors, there is little doubt that the relat

I don’t remember a single instance of 50-year old banking technology costing customers money, so I don’t see what the supposed downside is. You refer to a “brand-new system” that is “much cheaper to run”. But as far as I can tell, the opera

This is the "smart HDR" option on an iPhone, described as "In difficult lighting, the best parts of multiple exposures are combined into a single image". So there is the middle ground of disabling this. Or, alternatively
