The clusterfuck of the media universe is actually _because_ of monopoly. But it's not monopoly on UX, it is monopoly on the content. If you want to watch the Lion King, Disney has your balls in a vice grip. I would be perfectly fine wi

What users wanted: One streaming service from where you can stream or rent any movie or show available in the world. What users got: 1000 streaming services each with their app and UX that is shitty in a slightly different way from the othe

What's funny is America has some of the longest paths to a Green Card (for Indians and Chinese at least), but is very very happy to tax them as a resident the moment they spend a year in the country. Indians effectively pay taxes as re

Hardly anyone even thinks about peanut allergies in a nation of 1.4 billion people (India) and kids don't drop dead like flies here. But sure, let's just call the hygiene hypothesis tenuous.

Could this be combined with masks for greater efficacy?

"Ulterior motives" is misleading terminology, trying to give a negative color to ambitions that Elon has always made very very explicit—making humans a space-faring civilization and colonizing Mars. You may disagree with how usefu

It's great that it is terminal, but both comp and the respect you get in the company is strongly affected by level, so it's hard to just sit at L5 while you watch your peers rise the ranks

That was my thought too. I am sure his allergy was serious, but this story is entering homeopathic levels of dilution and delusion.

I think the more accurate representation is that it's coming from people who _want_ to live in SF but currently don't (due to lack of housing or unaffordable housing). Should I be allowed to push for policy changes in a city I am

I mean we are talking of an overrated "energy drink" that no one actually needs to consume but yet manages to sell billions of dollars worth of every year. I don't think their target market is that susceptible to reason.

No, we need to adapt an existing term into the new context that it is being deployed in.

> So yes, while the list price for Gleevec has gone up, the actual price paid is very different. You say it like it's a good thing. It's part of the problem. The fact that there is no clear no-nonsense to get a drug at a reason

> The hype follows what OpenAI's latest release does though Yes, because what OpenAI releases today helps us improve the prediction of what it may release in a decade or so.

The slope has changed between 10 years and ago. You are free to disagree, but don't pretend like you don't understand what the AI crowd is saying.

While Google is a monorepo, that doesn't mean that every part of the codebase is equally critical. People don't yolo submit CLs to core library components for example. OTOH submitting somewhat hacky code to a new project while you

Empirical evidence can suggest anything you want it to if you choose to ignore empirical evidence that's inconvenient to you. The Canadian trucker protesters were not "terrorists" by any stretch of imagination, but sure let&#

You will find out how easily you can wire money to someone in the EU if you decide to hold political opinions that are not in line with the ruling elite. The truckers in Canada for sure found out how "free" the digits of their ban

Huh? Facebook has a lot of that infra because ex-Googlers built it there. It takes an insane amount of delusion to notice something common between a father and a son and say that the dad inherited it.
