In analytics there are ways to discuss activity like: visits per month, pages per session, time on site, conversion rate, etc. It's possible for any of those activity metrics to go down 10% without losing any active users.

How does the theory of a faulty AoA sensor align with eye witness accounts of smoke coming from the plane? Also, the altitude data seems to cut out at it's peak. Was the decent so rapid it couldn't be tracked?

I think it will still affect software. Things can always be done faster. I think it'll be like farming where it won't go away but fewer people can do more work. I can imagine a day where voice recognition can allow marketing folks

Why do you jump from blue collar to high tech in the retraining conversation? Sounds like an extreme that people aren't arguing for. I think retraining a cole miner to use similar tools or equipment (like in a quarry) would be what mos

65k donors doesn't seem like a lot especially since there's no minimum contribution. So raising $65,000 can put you on the DNC debate stage regardless of how you poll? A GoFundMe could raise more than that.

Another topic Yang brings up frequently besides the Freedom dividend is retraining. Automation in retail, driving, etc. has the potential to make jobs obsolete at a rapid pace. Rather than trying to fight to save jobs that can be done by ma

I think it's the lack of information that's scaring people. We don't know why the Ethiopian flight went down, it's just really suspicious that 2 brand new airplanes crashed catastrophically so soon after delivery. I thin

I think the point is that with the common understanding of bodily pain there's usually a physical initiation like a pin prick. OC is saying that the pain can originate in the brain itself without any external force on the body.

And in retrospect, it would have been a mistake to break up Microsoft. No one is advocating breaking them up today. And that happened just through market forces and time, no government intervention needed.

43% is a massive market share but a monopoly by the definition of the word has near 100% control of a market. I think the modern test is is it possible for someone to compete with Amazon? Costco and Wallmart certainly do. If you break up A

I think accidents per trip (flight leg) is a more useful metric than accidents per year. If you're interested in mechanical issues then you'd also need to remove terrorism related deaths. Yes, it's a small sample size, but if
