Isn't the problem with parasitic charging? Suppose you had a bunch of used 18650 cells. To scale the electronics, they'll be wired up in parallel and/or series so the charging logic can be shared, but since the batteries are

I'm cautiously excited for this just because it's an original, clever premise for classic IP. It isn't yet another reboot or sequel, and it uses older IP that hasn't gotten much attention in a while.

ASML (or the EU) actually has leverage over the US, here. This is a key initiative of the current (and past) US administration, but it depends on ASML, and the US isn't close to an alternative.

I wish it had better data to back it up, but it's reasonable to think that coins are a popular thing for kids to play with.

I heard a story about the CEO of Maxim Integrated complaining about Maxim Magazine and wanting to sue them. The lawyer got a box of chips and a magazine, opened to the centerfold, and said "no one's confusing this for that."

Maybe I'm just saying what VC wants me to say, but if it's the sort of business a VC would invest in, you need to worry about a competitor blitzscaling over you.

Do you think the Newhouses are more reliable owners than Bezos? And they might be. Journalism is their business. If Bezos had to choose between Amazon and WaPo, he'd choose Amazon.

I'm not at Google, but the usual thinking is that the public product fixed a lot of the design warts of the internal one, but it's only 90% feature compatible, and the internal migration has an opportunity cost that's higher

One comment here called out content junk food, another called out the complexity of the replacement. It's both. People generally don't want thoughtful, quality content, and they certainly don't want to pay for it. Also funny

Apple wasn't doing so great in 2000. Its "PC" market share was ~2%. Jobs had just come back a few years earlier and MS made a large investment, but neither the iPod nor OS X had come out yet, so it was quite a turnaround stor

It's not even to the level of Apple Intelligence. If I tell Siri to set a timer for 5 minutes, it goes off, and I say "Hey Siri, stop alarm," it stops my daily wake-up alarm, not the timer. It feels like Siri hasn't gott
