I don't think it's a product so much as a proof of concept. The use of electricity will definitely not make this a must-have for backpackers, but maybe the technology can be leveraged for larger scale filtration systems (or just t

What makes you believe that? None of the research supports "as good as" being anywhere on the horizon, let alone "better than".

I think it's entirely possible that the random opinion of a person who is not involved, nor a resident of the country in question may not need to supersede what is possibly an informed decision on the part of Kenyan officials. While it

Yes. People also voluntarily give up their civil rights and are duped into unreasonable debts. How often do you read the ToS for most of the services you consume? Consumer protections operate in the understanding that people cannot be expec

Though we can appreciate the intense faith of Silicon Valley lore, this interpretation of the law is bizarrely narrow. The somewhat religious belief in progress is non-representative of the human experience. The function of the human race

I don't think you're the minority. I want to actually read the thread and see what random individuals thought about a thing (with their different views intact), rather than getting an aggregate summary. Often the overlooked, 1 poi

So if we look exclusively at only successful software products for our comparison, we'll see success for a completely different product category with high capital costs--got it.

One thing that hasn't been addressed, given the limited test markets, is whether autonomous taxis actually will actually be popular and preferable among consumers. Theoretically having a car that drives itself seems like a great produc

It's amazing that drug legalization is still being considered as a solution given the data coming out of jurisdictions that've attempted it. We see dramatically higher rates of overdose deaths with limited (if any) benefits.

Despite the novelty and excitement, the profit potential for AI generated applications and content isn't particularly strong. If you can make something using AI, so can everyone else. You work at a company to make money. Using AI doesn

This isn't an apt comparison. Maps need to be persistently accurate and constantly updated regardless of community involvement, AI just has to be somewhat applicable to the paid version (which, given its stochastic nature, the open sou

Survey-based research is unrepresentative since it's exclusively completed by people who actually complete surveys (an idiosyncratic minority).

I'm sure we'll see plenty of "gross profit" in their non-GAAP financial statements. I guess it doesn't take much to have people defend companies they know so little about in industries they have no experience in. Ma

I'm guessing by the rhetorical nature of the response, the details of "fine" aren't clear.
