Based on Mercedes' own demo video, it is quite clear who is ahead. It can't handle a curve and has so many explicit asterisks attached, with even more that are unknown. Promising no input (until unexpectedly required) is much wors

FSD can already handle most drives really well, and has progressed further than any competitor (by a wide margin). I'd expect ~20-30% would take the refund.

Houses in Atherton are already the size of apartment buildings. You could house 10-20 units in them without any change to the exterior. Change will happen, people would gladly pay a normal Bay Area house cost to get 1/10 of an Atherton

They are paying less for all those amenities, too. Food and all the other things provided per employee really add up. When in a rough economy, cutting those things and keeping your 'best' employees regardless of WFH status is the

Has anyone found a hard drive scam with multiple levels of fake storage? 10TB drive, containing a 1TB SSD, with a 256gb SD card, that is actually a 16gb micro SD card. It has to exist

Looking forward to the first legit 10TB 'scam' that puts 10 1TB micro SD cards into a case. A manufacturer could probably do it for under $1k

The people who fall for it and don't return them likely have no idea. They'll probably just show up as Bluetooth headphones and have none of the Airpods features that the buyer doesn't even know exist

The number of possibilities are countably infinite. Makes sense that we will keep finding things we don't understand for a long time.

So many other problems in life are tied to tooth issues, and most appear hard later in life. A dentist visit without insurance is usually under $100, and is a great investment in your future happiness and health.

I've had a site let me sign up with a 128 char password, but the input on the sign-in page was capped at 30. Edited the form element to log in, pinged them about the issue, and got it fixed

Probably someone with some good search engine skills. Considering most of the numbers are exact matches, searching for those exact numbers should result in a hit if it has been crawled

4 lbs of weight on each foot is a lot of weight. Probably not too bad when in a gait, but walking up stairs or long use would put high stress on your joints. Carrying 100 lbs on your back is easier than in your hands which is easier than on

The shoes are around 4lbs each. I wonder how much of that is the battery and if you couldn't get them to more negligible weight with a connected/worn battery.

Batteries and efficient, small electric motors are enabling so many unique form factors. Objects like this fill lots of niches, and should be exciting even if you aren't the target demographic. Clever transmissions like this could work

Even this terminology is ridiculous (I know it is paraphrased). Academic 'failings' for having a B average. Having good grades across the board is great, but not having interest or success in the narrowly tested and unrelated subj

One good place to start might be the 10 minute rule. For anything you've been procrastinating on, start doing a small effort towards it with 10 minutes. It is only 10 minutes. Sit down and start updating your resume. Message some recru

Self-driving cars should be far better at recognizing a human in most orientations/poses/outfits, regardless of the car's angle, or weather. It doesn't get distracted, can see 360 around the vehicle, has faster reaction,

With the plus, isn't every number and prefix/suffix unique across countries? I have no idea if that holds true not knowing if a country code is attached.

Carbon capture is so costly and energy intensive, that this likely won't come close to covering the cost. It is absolutely a step in the right direction, but carbon capture is unlikely to end up commercially viable.

It's not just you. I was an avid Alexa user with 1 Google Home just for comparison. Sometime in 2019 or 2020, Alexa got really bad, catching maybe 50% of requests, so they all got replaced with Google devices
