Yeah, but we knew X-Rays were dangerous even then. We just thought it was ok in small doses (scientists were regularly burning themselves with X-Rays in the 19th century even). Correct me if I’m wrong, but mainstream science doesn’t really

I think you're conflating avant-garde with world class. Take restaurants for example - super easy to start a new inventive restaurant in Detroit (low rent, low labor costs, etc.), but it's nearly impossible to make a $500/hea

Offset by account sharing (which who really cares when your ARPU is $40/month). And offset by the fact that trying a class & aborting after 45 seconds is a 'class'. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY offset by the sunk-cost fallacy - y

Obviously there's a mix-shift issue (new cohorts are bigger than old cohorts), but still people LOVE using Peloton (from the S-1): On average, our Connected Fitness Subscribers completed 7.5, 8.4, and 11.5 workouts per month in fiscal

But that’s not what I’m saying. People buy android phones for all sorts of reasons (in the US, mainly price). But in the US, it’s nearly impossible to have a broad social circle that doesn’t want to ‘text’ so I’d guess at least 99% of US us

99% of Americans don’t want to be funneled to WhatsApp or signal for group chat. They want it to live right next to their native texts. Your group is likely different from the mainstream.

Well, environmentally, the preference is that humans live in dense cities & leave as much untouched nature as possible. Remote work may have as devastating an environmental impact as the automobile (if not more). Just wait until 250,000

And ignores the fact that google already has images of millions of miles of road across multiple years / weather conditions AND the worlds largest real-time automobile movement database for that little app the call “maps”.

Yeah, but now we’ve proven that we can supply our own oil without it being a major drag on the economy. We may go back to importing one the short term, but losing access to Saudi crude is now a 100% solvable problem, because all we need t

Yeah, but their COGS would likely include shipping, return costs, AWS fees, etc., so the math could work.

You're missing the giant acquisition they made between the $3B & that $5B... https://about.van.fedex.com/newsroom/fedex-acquires-tnt-expr... Take that out & how does it look?

I mean, what is “burnout” other than not wanting to work? Maybe they’re just saying that to you because they assume (as an expat) that you don’t share their value system?
