There's even a metric for that: Daily Active Users. I bet Facebook does not publish that number (or the historical values for it). I bet that number has been going down lately, at least for North American users. There's a reason t

You should keep in mind that, sure, the rocket produces 166GW of power(which is wild!) but it does so for all of 5 minutes (or less). Whereas "all the power stations in the UK" keep on trucking, day in, day out, year after year.

A log of where you've traveled (and a partial log at that) hardly constitutes your "entire person".

I agree with the sentiment but it should be pointed out that even public works have to pay their workers at market rates when there are no forced laborers (so: most of the time). Throwing a bunch of forced laborers at public works kind of s

I would love to know why using "smart" quotes is inherently better than "dumb" quotes. The OP site doesn't say why. The site it linked to doesn't say why. So... why?

Sentiment analysis tech, GPT-3 level AI, and some human moderators in the mix... Maybe it could scale?

Counter argument: having dedicated moderation might just be the low bar, in the same way that there is the expectation that you pay your employees a reasonable salary or pay for other services required to run your business. If you can'

I'm curious why you think folks at gumroad don't "work much" and that most of the work had been done by those no longer at the company. Did you used to work there and have some insider knowledge? Seems to me the post wa

When I decide to buy a $25k car because that's as much as I'm willing to spend I still need to determine what my "monthly" is. It matters what my monthly is because it is _a loan_ that I need to pay back every month. I

The claim that one is unable to afford health insurance with a salary between $30k and $60k is... Factually incorrect. Do you mean that the medication for T1 diabetes is unaffordable at that salary range even with health insurance?

For one, you don't just toss that $133k into a savings account at the end of every year to just let it rot. You invest it and have it grow with compounding interest. You'll be amazed at the difference that makes to your calculatio

"more deadly" does not necessarily mean more deaths in this case. If it kills like ebola more folks could take it seriously ultimately resulting in lower transmission and death rates.

Sure. Can't have it both ways though: you're welcome to choose to implement on a soon to be deprecated tech stack but you don't get to bitch about it or expect the maintainers of said stack to suddenly change their minds abou
