The ad's destination URL contains the misinformation. Agencies play this semantic cat and mouse game with policies that are clearly targeted at preventing this type of content from proliferating, so it's not as cut and dry as you

Even with that napkin math, the value to not have to own the asset, insure it against theft, or carry it around constantly is still worth it to some consumers. The spontaneity of "hop on and ride, then forget about it" is the app

Bitcoin will not accept a settlement if the wallet no longer has funds. Banks throwing away checks is not a problem. Bouncing checks are a fraud problem, which is why most everyone have moved on from using checks is many situations. Ligh

RSUs are golden handcuffs. You'll continually get a raise each year and a portion of that will be new RSUs that vest over the next four years. If you ever want to leave, that continually means leaving a substantial amount of money on

Lightning is the same as writing a check. Until it's verified on the bitcoin network, it's just like a bank in that regard.

>That's, like, just your opinion. For a lot of people it competes just fine. Until it doesn't. A payment network is graded on how it handles disputes, not regular transactions. Bitcoin can't do refunds or chargebacks, ma

Lightning is basically digital third-party checks. There's a myriad of reasons people don't buy things with third-party checks.

It's not. Don't believe the comparisons to other technology. Lightning is an IOU system that does not scale with users.

It's a substitute computing product though - kind of like electric cars for combustion cars.

As a rule of thumb, sugars trip the insulin absorption endocrine pathways (weight gain) in the body more readily than the other macros. Fats are energy-rich, so combining sugars with fats means you're tripping the weight gain mechanis

Cholesterol is an energy-intensive molecule to produce, and as such, your body recycles it as much as possible. Your liver produces cholesterol to be released with bile into your digestive track (to aid with fat absorption), but your body

I don't think anyone expects the Android OS to be a collection of entirely open source device drivers. Those proprietary drivers are specific to the myriad of hardware that the OEMs are running the OS on. You can still run Android on

This is survivor bias. YouTube doesn't release many of the details of the methodology or even the content that they block because it can then be circumvented by the people who create and/or circulate it. It can create a streisand

Corporations (billions in revenue or otherwise) are not good substitutes for parenting. If you don't want your kids on a product, then supervise them. Don't ban the product for everyone who can use it responsibly.

Authors and publishers ship pre-release advance copies to popular reviewers, as part a part of the promotion leading up to launch, like movies do with prescreenings. Goodreads is notorious for having these types of reviewers, in fact, it&#

I mean, this is assuming that pre-release reviews are from advance copies, not WIP.

Why does the 15" have 240 hz but the 14" only goes up to 120hz? The AnimeMatrix display looks kind of cool though.

Yep, 1080 is still (sadly) considered not too bad for a laptop.

Goodreads is a social network framing itself as a book review website. You could argue that is necessary to get engagement from reviewers, but in trying to be both, goodreads doesn't do either very well. Throw in the fact that they ha

Goodreads is owned by Amazon, who is incentivized by the pre-release purchases that these reviews drive. They're not going to put a lock on pre-release reviews (nor should they) to solve a trolling/bad actor issue.

Voting irrationally is sequitur from "having interests", just not rational self-interests. Having interests is not mutually exclusive to acting irrationally.

Intentionally creating inhibitive costs for the sole purpose of preventing bad actors is playing a game of whack a mole. It only temporarily solves the problem and ruins it for the rest of the customers. There are other ways to address sca

I was thinking the same, except OP's product seems more like a feature for an EMR platform and less a standalone product. The only downside is that sharing this information may open up the hospital to more liability - i.e. a patient ta

Part of being a successful founder is spinning a yarn for your startup though. It's not improbable that the majority of successful founders are also just good at telling the story about it while glossing over the boring hard parts.

Yep - the motivation of health insurance is to keep people out of hospitals and away from healthcare professionals as much as possible. Sometimes that aligns with keeping people healthy, but other times that aligns with women not getting ro

For platter or SSD drives, sure. Some forms of magnetic tape storage can get up to 300 TB per cartridge though, which can scale up to petabytes in the right config. Still ridiculous for information that is worth less and less over time.

That's a lot of data though, especially since it's usefulness goes down with time.
