Many execs believe that people are more productive when you can supervise them in the office. Given that, it would follow that you have to care about being where the talent is.

Sugar is one of the main contributors to suffering and death in the US. Evidence that aspartame is harmful at all is comparatively weak.

If somebody was trying to do something serious, they’d have some kind of ID that would get them through the actual security checkpoint. It’s only this bizarre scheme (that didn’t even work) where checking ID again would matter. If we’re mak

It’s more about how many planes you can get through the expensive, scarce gates you have in a day. Those staff could be boarding another batch of paying customers instead of checking IDs.

Boarding time is a big factor in the cost structure of airlines. If they have to check ID of everyone who boards, it’s a lot slower. And in fact European airlines have a much slower turnaround time than Southwest. There’s already an ID chec

RCS has been available for over 10 years. Apple is being knocked for their half-assed version of interoperability, where the iPhone implements just enough of the standard to shame non-iPhone users when they communicate with friends and fami

I’m curious of the history. Presumably people used SMS when it was the only option, and stopped at some point and installed message apps (but they never stopped in the US).

In Europe people have to pay to send SMS right? So people have a good reason to seek out alternatives like WhatsApp, which are cross-platform. There is no habit of using SMS. Therefore linking iMessage to SMS by default doesn’t create any n

I think the complaint about iMessage is more that people using the core SMS function on iPhones are automatically opted into iMessage, then get a worse experience when communicating with groups containing people who don’t have iPhones. It c

If you required a high accuracy like 99.9% to charge a customer, you could have a system that was mostly automatic but still needed human review when the model isn’t confident enough. It’s hard to know exactly what this means without a lot

I would pay 5% more for my groceries if I never had to wait in the checkout line. I’m a kind of customer that has tried grocery delivery, and didn’t reject it because of the cost, but instead for other reasons like I want to pick out my own

Vacuum bags are good for storing that kind of stuff compactly. My duvet and duvet covers semi-permanently live in one! The only kind of blanket I’ve found that is not too warm is gauze.

I think it’s true both that most promotions are legit and not based on vanity projects, and yet still the vanity projects are common and causing major problems. Let’s say you have 10k engineers at your megacorp. Maybe the ideal number of ex

When I first read this comment my immediate reaction was that it was probably baseless fearmongering. After a bit of googling, I feel more ambivalent. 1. It’s illegal to sell cancerous animal meat. 2. Even if a cancer was capable of living

Or maybe you value the consistency of full enrollment that comes with a waitlist over the additional revenue you could earn with higher prices. Could be the case if there are high costs to changing the size of the business. Imagine there’s

I can’t speak for Georgists, but one clear problem I see worth solving in my city is empty lots downtown. And decrepit, vacant commercial property. Our city has a housing crisis. Speculators own these lots on the theory that they’ll be valu

This argument sounds backwards to me. Under the common ad valorem property taxes, the tax you pay goes up if you invest in increasing the value of your property, which punishes you for improving it and incentivizes leaving your land fallow.

$20/month is high? For a tutor and research assistant who I can consult at any time of day or night? Seems like an incredible value to me. Would have probably cost thousands of dollars in 2020.

If you received an illegal subpoena from the government you wouldn’t have any costs associated with it at all? Just throw it in the trash, move on with your day, and surely you will never have to think about it again?

Have you tried a GLP-1? I got fit through diet and exercise, and in the past that’s what I would have recommended. But now it’s 2024 and now there is are working diet miracle drugs. It’s expensive, but within your price range.

It doesn’t surprise me that one part the status rat race ( selective summer programs) cares about another (after-school activities). The big question is how do either of these play into your kid’s overall life satisfaction. You just have t

Certainly the trick is to choose not to make these expensive commitments to spend money before you earn it. It’s much harder to claw back once you and your family get used to luxuries.

A lot of the expensive stuff for kids to “have a chance” is BS, not very relevant to their life outcomes, basically parents being grifted and engaging in status competitions you could choose to opt out of.

It’s hard to visualize vast quantities, but for people who live in the rural American west, an acre-foot is relatively easy to grasp. People know the land area of property they live on or farm in acres, and they can imagine what it would lo
