I really wish crimes not causing direct 'physical' harm were weighted appropriately. Execs and doctors driving the bulk of opioid deaths should absolutely be held accountable, especially for continuing after the outcome of their

I've done this on quite a few occasions as well. It isn't necessarily time wasted, as you evoke a positive view from the client (progress towards the solution) and often get valuable feedback. The alternative is that they think yo

1.5B MAU is not unreasonable. A majority of Chinese users are using it. It is superfluous when you ride the subway or eat in a restaurant. Everyone. That alone could be .75-1+B. Then you only need a relatively small percentage of the rest o

Yes, exactly. Quite a few possibilities are being tested, as in they exist (maybe). It is quite literally being blocked by regulatory approval, with the testing for validity and safety being the approval process.

10x is within striking distance. Search for Autopilot reporting for the evidence. While it is biased towards highway miles, all the safety features augment the human driver. This will only get better with time. Shipping is different from fu

And they are consistent. Make it work in the few distinct layout configurations and specific hotel appliances, and then it can repeat on all the rooms.

There is a reason no new manufacturers have succeeded in the past 100 years. Auto industry is tough and costly. Autopilot almost certainly gave them press and coverage that has helped sell cars and keep the company from collapsing. If a fut

When it gets there, regulatory approval will absolutely be a bottleneck to deployment. They don't say it is a current blocker. And it won't come close to Theranos. Tesla makes real products that are class-leading. Even if Tesla ca

For anyone in tech visiting Seattle, this was always my first recommendation. The hardest part about history is that human minds are unwilling to grasp the 'realness' of it. Being able to directly touch and play with the past real

There is a likelihood that many parents submit/falsify the financial aid application/documents. Hard to prove the student did it, and worse to rescind based on a parent's actions.

That is such a nice service. Benefits everyone and near-zero cost for them.

Video sizes are not shrinking. 8K is coming, with even bigger sizes on the way. That matters at scale. As long as someone sees the benefit, people will keep pursuing it. Compression (as like all tech) is a moving target with the platforms r

Could be done with a snaking wire/tube. Battery could be housed at the source. Would need ability to make it through dry parts and go in reverse, but should be physically feasible. Financially is another story

I would fully support reform. Do you think there is a meaningful chance that is the current plan?

Technically you have web-apps, but it is also going to be a tiny minority who would seek that out. And of course they are not as feature rich

This is fine, until another application needs it. Then it becomes a power struggle for the throne, and both sides lose.

You have physical volume knobs on the steering wheel. That is less distracting than any reach to the console.

What consensus? Bad interfaces on low-end touch screens are terrible, but plenty of Tesla owners would take the screen over the plethora of physical knobs. Volume and vehicle control/steering are the main inputs where physical makes se

In a lot of cases Grubhub is creating websites that look official for restaurants. Few businesses are aware of this, as it siphons customers from many legit websites thanks to better SEO. There have been quite a few instances of this even w

Nope, way less than that. A single expendable rocket may have that margin, although I'd expect even better. Accounting for 5 flight of a si glen booster and capsule, that cost drops precipitously to at least 60-70% percent savings.

It get even more exciting when you consider that $110M is the cost to NASA. The cost to SpaceX could quickly reach an order of magnitude lower as it becomes more frequent and reused. As a bonus, the increased profits pay for the next ship,

Only 562 have been to orbital space so far. A 1% increase on the first flight is significant. It can only increase exponentially from there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_travelers_by_nam...

The old way doesn't have to change. It still exists. Make a wrapper GUI that makes it far more approachable. Syncing and other funtions could be handled by a library that works with either
