Something that should never be overlooked in this case is that after police identified the suspects and made arrests Smollett still stuck to his lie. He was ready to send innocent people to a potential life sentence or the death penalty (wh

Neither company loses much if rivian disappears. For amazon the equity investment fell under corporate social responsibility, the alternative would be something like carbon offsets which are a pure loss. For ford it just means one less comp

When Tesla did a platform deal in 2010 for the RAV4 they had at least sold a car to customers. Why would Ford license a drivetrain from a company thats never shipped a car when they already have a drivetrain licensing deal with VW (who have

One of the things that google does is basically trade compute and storage (whether its a google search or gmail storage) for advertising revenue. In a world where the public cloud is dominated by a handful of providers its likely (if not al

This is a trend for AWS. The building blocks (S3, EBS, EC2, Lambda, Dynamo) are priced at cost + margin, and prices tend to improve. The more niche/higher level services like kendra are priced based on the value to a medium to large co

These methods work by turning the shopper into a cashier. Amazon go completely removes the cashier role from the experience, the shopper just picks up the item as they did before and walks out. Using vision to solve a problem always seems i

I think everyone has heard this claim from Amtrak. Anyone who has actually caught Amtrak has seen the gigantic inefficiency’s (the ridiculous boarding process, ancient trains). I’ve been stuck behind freight traffic on Amtrak, but only afte

The quality of a product is subjective, but I dont see any example in this article of big tech squeezing out a competitor with an inferior product. Yelp (despite the glossy profile in buzzfeed news) has not really advanced the product in a

Creators can still see the likes. I doubt they would get rid of this, however if they do a cynical take would be that it will boost advertising dollars. As you need to pay to see any metrics.

At least for me uber has huge brand loyalty, it’s sitting in the dock of my iPhone. If I need to go somewhere, or get home, Uber has never let me down. Likewise with food delivery, I certainly have been let down on that but Uber does the be

At least in Canberra the area they are serving is not really remote. It’s actually quite hilarious that their “remote” area is the outer suburbs of Australia’s capital city (which is to be fair quite small)

I cant figure out what "third party provider" you send passwords to though?

Disclosure on this was pretty bad. I got an email saying your password has been reset, if you didnt do this contact support. Removed payment methods from my account and reset the password, but now I assume this was done to all users?

Interesting argument. And since marketplace is said to be more than half of sales now, maybe thats their primary business. A coordinated Amazon/Uber/Lyft shut down in California would be something to behold.

Seattle has changed. A few weeks ago someone beat a police officer with a sunroof he'd just ripped of a car (after jumping on the other roofs of cars in traffic). He was released 24 hours later. On a simpler note I saw someone exposing

That’s what happens in markets with a lot of wind generation, South Australia saw a 14000/mwh price for 5 hours earlier this year (Due to a 48 Celsius heat wave). Hot days and wind generation are not correlated unfortunately.

The point is they won’t be replaced, as removing any government program is considered an outrage. So the end result of basic income is the existing level of spend + basic income.

This is in some ways a preview of why the theory of basic income replacing other government spending (and therefore being fiscally conservative and libertarian) is false. Alaska is redirecting money from universities to basic income (the oi
