   We have humans that save billions of US dollars, so this overkill behavior is not exclusive to squirrels.

   Reminder : there's still a $10k bounty for rooting the Quest. Thousands of enthusiasts are waiting for it, opening this platform could create an huge homebrew scene, and free us from Facebook. If you're into Android reverse engine

   I agree at the yearly scale, but after 13 years it starts to make sense.

   That's a funny story, but the real problem here is that you didn't change your password in 13 years.

   This isn't ironic, I've actually done that multiple times in a large company. No one noticed, everyone went home happy.

   I'd pay decent money for a Notion competitor that doesn't take 10+ seconds to load.

   The most famous example being Alyssa Carson [1]. These frauds exist for a reason, there's an huge (and legitimate) demand for covering women in space. I guess Peggy Whitson isn't sexy enough be on cover of magasines, so journalist

   Thanks for the detailed answer! It's already there. The piratebay already serves me movies at 200 MBps with almost zero infrastructure cost. It's probably more a licensing issue like you said.

    Slightly unrelated, but did they ever consider P2P? It scales really well and saves Terabytes of bandwidth, so I wonder what the cons are, except that's it's associated with illegal distribution.

    I mean a blacklist system like Twitter's, where you block a website forever. Pinterest would be the first to go.

    I wish we could configure Google's algorithm to our needs, and blacklist websites.

    I wouldn't compare Blablacar with Uber. Most drivers use the service once a month to cover fuel cost and meet people during occasional trips.

    The reveal trailer is so dishonest, it shows environment-mapping AR features, while the glasses don't even have a display. Please calm down the creative department.

    Pardon the biological analogy, but diversity has 2 main benefits : resistance to epidemics (malware) and faster evolution (innovation). I don't want to converge towards a single OS, but welcome standards and bridges between them.

    If it's at home, yes. They still have their core values : independence, relatability and risk-taking.

    "Their content quality is worse than ours. They seem focused on home video/community space while we want to be more like iTunes/TV" 16 years later, home video is still the core value of YouTube, yet they are still trying

    This is an huge deal : the 5700U is faster than the Mac M1 at the same wattage https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Apple-M1-8-Core-3200-MH...

    The Juicero comparison doesn't hold up. LIDAR is 10x more expensive than RGB, but neither reach lvl5 at the moment. I'm glad multiple companies try multiple paths, it's the best way to avoid a research dead-end.

    It's darwinian, founders are selected over product success. New CEOs are selected for their finance skills. The first tend to be creative and empathetic, while the latter prefer cost cutting and lack of empathy.

    Fake supercentenarians have been used by multiple governments in the past to glorify their lifestyle. USSR did the same, claiming that Shirali Muslimov reached 168. China also has fake "longevity villages" that draw some tourism.

    I fell bad for all the awesome indie devs out there now that the market is saturated. I remember the early days of Steam and Android when low quality asset flips would make $10k easily. New niches appear every year though, like the VR mark

    Hi Peter! Do we think we'll see a significant H-1B reform in the next 2 years? Are you optimistic with the Biden administration?

    I'm glad that DataFrames don't iterate by default. It's good design to make suboptimal features hard to access.

    Semi-related rant : I'm baffled that most AA batteries don't display their capacity. It's literally the most important spec. Models vary between 400 and 3400 mAh!

    I'm glad they used the open standard instead of a new proprietary locked-in solution.

    I love the analogy that capping downvote values is like an ELU activation function in machine learning. Whereas Reddit uses TanH.

    I agree, it'd be fairer to compare wattage at peak load. Notebookcheck indicates 40W for AMD and 30W for M1, so I guess the perf/watt is closer between the 2 chips.
