You could argue that the problem is that they’re all “matching apps”, not dating apps. They make connections, like a matchmaker. If their revenue model was based around second, third, fourth dates, etc, and maintaining a health relationship

I wish more companies would have interviewees conduct code reviews. Code reviews as an interview show a number of things you wouldn’t get from a typical interview—what opinions they have, what are the things they call out vs what they don’t

What people always get wrong about inflation statistics is that they’re really only meaningful when talking about the whole country. If you think CPI is wrong, well, it’s wrong for you. It’s wrong for every individual. But it’s right when y

Skin is also incredible when you think about it. Each square cm is able to sense temperature, texture, whether it’s wet, sticky, etc. And it’s self healing. It’s hard to imagine robots getting very far without artificial skin.

This is legit. A lot of people want to treat men and women as having no biological differences. But the distribution of men’s risk tolerance is shifted well to the right of women’s. And it means that more men end up as entrepreneurs than wo

This is generally the case in most cities, but less so at lower Manhattan speeds. Large diesel trucks produce a lot of pollution and noise. But those will take longer to electrify.

I think Washington also allows you to become a lawyer without having a law degree. I think you can work at a law firm as an apprentice. Presumably, that law firm would just decide to hire you as a lawyer. So, I bet it’s not that far off fro

One thing I’ve been thinking about re: Javelin (and MANPADS)—would it be better to be able to fire them remotely? ie let soldiers put a set of launch tubes in a bush or behind a rock, then use the targeting system from a separate location.

I will definitely agree that a transportation system based off public transit is much better than what we have now. The advantage you get with a 100% AV based system is that you can get coverage that you’ll never get with public transit. NY
