At this point I’m reserving all judgement until I can closely examine the financials. Often these types of extravagant projects involve the same type of “forward looking” growth estimates that almost never pan out after every middle man tak

Is there precedent in the last crash? I wasn’t receiving recruiter emails from crypto companies before the 20k crash. I think the blast radius here is much bigger.

To me the risk is not hardware repairability, it’s lack of timely security updates and long term support of them. Outside of iPhones are there any phones on the market that get 5+ years of fast security updates?

Over the past week I’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 articles about why social media or X are to blame for people protesting / acting irrational (inferred) yet not a single article with interviews from protesters asking them why it’s happening, o

It’s really sad that we have such low visibility into actual voter fraud. It seems our elections are broken in such a way that no one is interested in fixing them lest they lose some particular advantage. It’s enough that now I’ve had eno

Has there been any research into safe, electrified highways? I imagine if the car could cruise while essentially “plugged in” it would dramatically increase the range and ability of EVs. Challenging task I admit.

So, why not just import these pens from UK or Canadian producers who make them at scale and for much cheaper? Or better yet, create a joint venture to manufacture them cheaply in places like India?

I knew of this practice and it always bothered me regarding flour. With fruit, for example, I can wash off any herbicide or pesticide applied to the plant during its growth. However, how do I wash glyphosate or 2,4-d off a bag of ground flo
