Absolutely, an essential part of driving is predicting how the state of the world will change in the future - and the behaviour of a motorcycle is vastly different from the behaviour of a stroller.

To be slightly fair to the guy, it seems like he's probably in the right about the details- it sounds like Muse Score is under very strict constraints to be able to do what they're doing, and this repo is basically just allowing u

Intel has no presence as a foundry-as-a-service, TSMC is the market leader. I can just about understand Intel getting away with an acquisition in this space, TSMC would be a really difficult sell to regulators.

I'm pretty skeptical of most of the Pro-Assange reporting that happens because so often it seems very unreliable - cherry picking things, misrepresenting things etc. For example, I don't know enough about the Assange charges to sa

It's a bit of a nonsense for a few reasons - first the idea that this requires new hardware but actual FSD wouldn't. Secondly that this isn't FSD but the subscription is literally called FSD capability subscription. It's

Can we be clear that Google hasn't publicly stated why they chose to remove him. They have absolutely not said they fired him for his old views.

I don’t know what Gates did, it’s possible the worst accusations are true but without evidence I won’t take it seriously. However, we do know that Epstein was essentially a very good conman. I can absolutely believe he figured out a way to

I would not be surprised if the strategic thinking here is to buy GloFo to get in some outside business and the knowledge about how to run a fab as a service in preparation for spinning the foundry out as a separate business. That way it al

I think one of the things this is really missing is that Excel fundamentally supports 1 data structure - the table. What if your data isn't a table? What if your data is many tables? What if your data has 3 dimensions? It soon becomes

I think what's essentially happening here is that Instagram has lots of tracking and targeting so it's very good at telling advertising "Hey, here's the list of people you want to advertise to, and here's how much

Yes the rich provided the middle class a new way to exploit the poor. The reason taxis were expensive is because taxi drivers have to pay rent and buy food. The incredible innovation of Uber is that drivers are pushed into poverty wages. In

I'm not sure. I think if we look at the net of what's happened: Uber execs and investors made (m/b)illions, taxi drivers got absolutley hosed - most now essentially are just extracting against the equity in their cars, and ri

Honestly, I feel that we're way past the point of productively engaging with the wallstreetbets crowd, the "Naked short squeeze" eternal narative is about as substantial as the people claiming Trump will be inaugurated again

I think there’s a very difficult line to draw between the author souring in Google and Google itself souring. There’s one parallel in particular that I thought was interesting - the org structure one from early on where MS orgs are all poi

Sorry I meant specifically, you could just sell digital copies of your artwork on shopify, along with a little pdf from you saying "Mattdesl hereby certifies this artwork as edition N of M". What value is the NFT providing? As far

What value does crypto bring to you that a artist running a shopify store does not? It sounds like the NFT is entirely irrelevant in this transaction other than possibly providing a socially acceptable route that is better than a PayPal don

This seems to be just standard procedure for any company operating in a health related sector. Maybe the scale is different, but any competent regulator would be aware of these types of relationships and should be adjusting for selection bi

Because our phone companies are 99.97% marketing. They're constantly trying to market deals and segment their market. So today it just so happens to be 120GB cheap. Next week it might be extortionately expensive. When 5G first came out

I think it’s more likely just something in the style guide that all articles on events impacting public companies note the impact on share price. It’s not a comment on whether it’s news in one direction or the other , it’s just their standa

I think about this a lot when people talk about a "growth mindset" - the entire concept comes from a place of privilege, the idea that if you swing big and miss, you'll still land on your feet, when in reality a lot of people

This is absolutely true. I worked at a large engineering organisation, I was a manager so I could literally list the salary boundaries for different experience levels. Now I work doing the exact same job but in a finance related company. I
