Is this product extensible beyond SaaS style tiered subscription models? I love the pricing space, but at first glance, the limitation in your company's scope seems depressingly limited and is essentially hard-coded into the name of yo

I would dearly love to read the translated annotations of Townley Homer. It is incredibly exciting to think that it will probably happen in my lifetime. Knowing nothing about translation of classics, I won't go so far as to say that I

I tried a few back of the envelope calculations, with a 21700 cell with the same characteristics as a Boeing 737. Looks like you don't need that much power to stay aloft when you're small. If you're buoyant, even less. I gues

The most important mid-wit home automation tool is the programmable thermostat, which curiously isn't mentioned. That will have more impact on energy use and quality of life than anything else. No remote control, no wifi needed. Just t

Spending tax dollars to improve your domestic industry... unfortunately sometimes has the opposite effect. It depends on how incentives are aligned. For instance, if USA military contractors turn around and spend billions on overseas steel,

I'm surprised to see this level of confusion on what "investment" means, on a venture capital related forum of all places. If financing by providing loans is not investment, well, then we are saying that it's something l

Our USA global empire from 1945 to present invests mostly in resource extraction in poor and underdeveloped countries. Aid comes in the form of providing food and medicine, probably the worst help that could be given to countries with virtu

Here's a question: what criteria would a substance need to meet in order to be properly termed a fire-safe fuel? I'm thinking that for combustion fuels, fire-safe fuel may be a contradiction in terms, where no such criteria could

If we think more along the lines that truth is in itself always a moral judgement, then in that light, influencing and informing again become the same thing. For instance, if I were to say something and you were to disagree, you don't

Fireplaces or outside away from flammable objects are great places to charge lithium ion betteries. You're also best off supervising charging in person, watching for melting plastic, smoke, bulging/swelling.

Combustion is a function of surface area, fuel/air temperature, mixing, oxygen supply. If you were to vaporize this fuel in a hot, high-oxygen environment, it would burn, like pretty much any other fuel. The title is a little misleadin

Doctors are specifically selected and trained to act and think according to clinical guidelines and published best practice. Critical and holistic thinking is discouraged, you can't have both. Are the above commenters saying Tiktokers

Influence and inform are two sides of the same moral coin, where we claim others ideas aren't their own, whereas we are the virtuous informed ones who draw our own conclusions. The low-pass filter of the mind only allows in what fits s

Does this cause anyone else to be more suspicious of Newton's achievements and the history books, given that he at one point had accrued enough power to have his rivals drawn and quartered? Now, I have less respect for Newton than ever

I should have been more clear - this is to indicate that "we" can't lose, meaning society as a whole. Individuals for sure can lose their shirts, but overall, this bank collapsing won't be an issue. This bankruptcy happe
