An annual release cycle isn’t for people who bought the phone last year. It’s for people who bought their phones 2 or 3 years (or even more) ago. The question is how does this phone compare to the Pixel Pro 6 or 5, not how it compares the 7

“Free” markets are extremely efficient at what they’re intended to do. Which is finding a fair price for a goods/service. But there are MANY nuances: 1. Are you making sure everything you value is being priced in? For example, a free m

Ah yes. Broad money supply in the US and yet the US has among the lowest inflation in the world.

Singapore is the only country that prices cars appropriately. Every other country simply externalize the cost of a car onto everybody else including other car drivers.

The GMail iOS app is completely unusable for me. I simply cannot figure out how to read a thread with it. Ive reached the point where I’ve started using the Apple Mail app instead (yech). Also, why is it so hard to forward/reply all?

That’s not how much research works. You never have data at the outset. You have to have anecdotal information and/or sometimes even just an unfounded hypothesis before you can collect useful data to prove/disprove the hypothesis.

Nope, it’s because even if you don’t believe it’s true, management has decided that people colocated together physically do a better job than those who are not. And even if you believe that’s a complete fiction, it’s a fiction which has sus

The problem with WFHers is that they don’t realize that they’re like blue collar workers in the 80s voting to offshore their jobs away.

There’s an interesting case study here. Most Indian pop music comes from movies so nearly every popular song comes with a music video at no cost. It would be interesting to see what the breakdown of people who watch the music videos vs only

“Gatekeeping concerts” - What exactly is this supposed to mean? Are we not supposed to post our thoughts on the internet anymore? And maybe there’s an argument to go gentle on a small upstart effort but this is a billion dollar stadium.

I’m pretty sure the nausea side effects of Ozempic/Wegovy is very widely reported and is included in nearly every article that talks about those drugs. I think it should be pretty obvious why one would talk about suicidal ideation as o

The quoted data is certainly not sufficient to identify whether or not the numbers are statistically significant or not.

Excellent stuff. I have to disagree with the not using the source code formatters bit though. More trivially, you can improve the source code formatters to accept the example provided as legitimate. In fact, it can be setup to automatically

The death penalty isn’t THE problem here, but it definitely is A problem here. The problem with the death penalty is masked slightly because of the US’s lengthy appeals process and the Innocence project which delays a lot of these death pen

This is not the same as common core. Common core for the most part was pretty well designed AFAICT and was grounded in real pedagogy. Like you point out, common core was focused more on understanding concepts as opposed to reaching answers.

There are luxury watches which can easily eclipse $17k. But they basically serve as jewelry. The problem with the Apple Watch is it tried to be that, but it has absolutely no premium value at all. Which is unsurprising considering you can g

Currency is currency. Assets are assets. Claiming that an asset is better than a currency because it’s better at what assets are supposed to do and currencies are explicitly not supposed to do is strange to say the least.

Your talk about gold being “up against the dollar” shows that you simply don’t understand what a currency is. But don’t worry, there’s an entire scam industry (the other thing you mention) built almost entirely on people not understanding t

Can you point to the evidence that a bicyclist being hit by a car benefits from wearing a helmet. Also, the exact same logic applies when a pedestrian is hit by a car. How many articles do you see where an article about a pedestrian being h

This is almost exactly it. Costco shoppers will buy whatever they push. And I suspect the cultural factors you’re talking about are the large number of middle class Indian and Chinese Costco shoppers who will buy gold regularly culturally,

And that’s the impact of inflation. Not hyperinflation. Words mean stuff. Hyperinflation leads to situations which the U.S. is nowhere near experiencing.

I bet the vast majority of gold being purchased at Costco is by Indian and Chinese immigrants who buy gold culturally and not as a response to global financial events and movements.

Which is not what Emma Thompson was talking about. And that’s exactly her point. A Wes Anderson movie is not the same thing as a video of birds at a bird feeder for cats to watch on YouTube. And accuracy isn’t sufficient to say a term is be

Kneecapping your biggest (only?) competitor in a $500Bn market (and that’s just smartphone hardware) is a good incentive to turn down those measly $10Bn.

Lol we were literally working on approving Insomnia for company wide use to completely replace Postman only because it didn’t need an account. I guess we can kiss Insomnia goodbye as an option now.
