Put another way, it is like there are 10,000 fish equally spaced around the ocean. One could swim 100 lifetimes and never see another fish.

That is a slightly different issue. This would be like counterfeit steel being sold as of it were the real thing. Or direct-to-consumer horseshoes that will never arrive. Much of this spam is actively out to trick you, as opposed to legitim

Spam is killing tons of services beyond just Email. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Craigslist, ... Nearly anything public is bombarded with spam. The big players are far better suited to deal with it than any newcomers, and even they can barel

Why not? Get them into a little bit of everything, and let them dig further into the topics that they find exciting. Kids are just as capable as most adults (if not more). Give them a foot in the door and they have all the time in the world

The alternative is a higher number, and then continuously not doing anything by pushing it into the future, eventually blowing past it anyway

This is a mind blowing question. If so, does that mean your dominant eye is the default path?

While this is true, a tiny start-up with big claims is different from the world's largest battery manufacturer (CATL) already spooling up production with the intent to scale.

Not at this density. This is the minimum requirement for medium length large airplanes. Small aircraft are already viable with mass produced batteries. As they scale production of these, hopefully they can get 20% additional improvements at

500-600 Wh/kg is the target for replacing average flight durations. Fuel is one of the highest costs for an airline, so eliminating the majority of that will make the demand for any viable options go bananas, even with a much higher up

Current mass produced batteries, which tend to hover around 260-300 Wh/kg. Higher density (but still under 500) are available, but in far smaller quantities for a very high cost. The exciting part of this announcement is that if anyo

We are basically on v2 of modern AI. Transformers significantly improved the effectiveness of training. A few more breakthroughs every few years (not guaranteed) could mean better results with 1/100th the data.

A key point with space elevators is that they aren't limited to Earth. The solar system has plenty of celestial bodies that could benefit (us) from having one. It may not be as significant as the impact of an Earth-based one, but any

Compared to many European languages, sure, but English still has plenty of filler. Chinese, for example, can be extremely information dense.

Asserting that all our audio won't be captured is yet another assumption. The amount of data being collected is ever increasing, and it is conceivable that near unlimited microphone/camera access and storage could lead to this in

Information is not just the public internet. Every text message, school paper, phone call, and recording of an individual could be future input. Then expand that to photos and videos. Then consume all of YouTube. Each of these sources is st

Not 1/2, closer to 1/10 (for the exact space of the car). Cars also need far more buffer space, parking space, overall road area for maneuvering around a city. If completely replaced, infrastructure area could probably be reduced

Having the option to do either seems like the better approach for a consumer. Worded differently, removing one of two options is worse for the consumer.

Absolutely love Citymapper for finding pleasant bike routes! Really hope this doesn't end up handicapping the product or spreading focus thin. Have recommended it to so many people. Biking wouldn't be the same without it.

Starship will be the rocket delivering them to the surface. It is likely to have a first orbital test within the next 3 months. That will be a major milestone, approaching the capability to once again land and return humans from the lunar s

Sitting on vested stock is different than being granted new stock (as a replacement) without being a current employee. That may open Stripe up to some additional tax/liability.

Microsoft had a diverse set of revenue sources through that period. Google makes 90% of their revenue through ads. Microsoft could have very easily found another Ballmer instead and ended up very different today. Main takeaway is they aren&

I tried both, and stuck with DO. Linode UI was superclunky when you needed to dive into it, but DO was great. Any search for how to X immediately returned great documentation.

I'd guess that the low upfront cost and barrier to entry contributes. Audio recording and editing sufficient for a podcast is very low lift for any passionate hosts. If one disappears off your preferred platform, 100 more are waiting t

IIRC, it takes 7 full-sized trees to match the CO2 output of 1 human. Plants could help somewhat, but unfortunately probably couldn't even offset a cat.

At another FAANG people would regularly tote around Mac Pros, monitors, or full desktop towers, including packing them in their car to work from home for a day or two. Security sees so many things, that just not looking suspicious (even wit

Sure but still far less than the barrier to entry of a house there now.
