This entire post should be about the OP, and now it is about ZS. Can we just delete this entire subtree, please?

It's too bad those other tablets are rubbish.

I think the issue is that 23andme has no rigorous data on what the false positive and negative rates are. Unless they can supply that it's snake oil. And I say that as a 23andme customer.

Unfortunately many employers may assume that you're more experienced with failure than success. Failure can be a teacher, but success can as well.

Elon repeatedly tries to misdirect from the issue at hand. Teslas do not catch fire more often than the average U.S. car. But that is not in question. The question is, "after a collision, what happens?" And so far, the answe

In general, I'm not a big fan of linking directly to PR put out by self-interested parties. It's very hard for the average reader to de-spin the propaganda put out in these missives. They're being manipulated and don't

That the rate of "fires from a collision" in a Tesla is 25x that of the average US car. The OTA update reduces the number of undercarriage collisions and thus the number of fires.

Do you have any numbers to suggest that Dropbox usage is higher than Google or Microsoft or iCloud?

The Tesla counter spin to avoid a recall here is incredible. The OTA update is a de facto recall but it only partially addresses the issue.

These get requests are likely sharded among a large number of machines. Viewed that way, it's much more manageable. Want to service more requests? Just add more machines. 1.5M relational queries on the other hand--that would be imp

I think the source of the perennial confusion over this issue is that some software development is actually engineering, but most is greese monkeying. The software mechanics resent the engineering questions but the engineers can't und

I think we may have to wait until the unemployment rate drops to pre-Great Recession levels before we can draw firm conclusions.

It will be interesting to compare the two after extended use. This video attempts to do so, with only decent results: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZbRd93f7p4&desktop_uri=%2Fwat...

I've used a Paperwhite, but for most of my reading I'm switching to an iPad Retina mini. The battery life is suitable, the screen is gorgeous (326 PPI vs 212: more than double the number of pixels per glyph) and I hope it will be

Having not read the book, I imagine the argument is that grains are carbs and carbs cause obesity and dementia. Most Americans over consume refined grains [1] despite the government drastically reducing grains share of the food pyramid. [1

Grains can support a large population even while causing dementia in later life. The two are not incompatible.

Perhaps you didn't read the part of the article where carbs are ultimately blamed.

So many assertions--any citations? Why should we believe you over the article's sources?

This isn't useful unless you can also compare the crime rates in those countries (does high incarceration reduce crime?) as well as the percentage of drug offenses and the ease of drug import into those countries. I'd also like t

Isn't it funny how VCs really invest in order to take advantage of the mania of later VCs or the public. Perhaps that's why founders found, too. A noble calling it is not.

It's funny that the example given is of Musk reasoning to how batteries can be much cheaper than they are. And yet Tesla buys their raw batteries from third party manufacturers just like almost all other EV manufacturers. So I'm
