Which makes sense from the production side: electric cars nullifies American, Japanese, and European expertises in internal combustion engines. It levels the playing field for Chinese automakers. This is partly why Germany and Europe have b

It's less a filter but more of a tack on. What I mean is that if you're already on Fastly and find their features compelling, $100 for a certificate is nothing and generates huge margins for Fastly. It's a bit like the BMW&#x

I don't think it's fair to say the break-up was a failure even if in the near term they still coordinated. In the long term, the oil companies competed with each other. Even if Rockefeller became wealthier, it only adds to the ori

Good catch. But that just adds more to my point: modern Chinese can understand seal script to a large extend because seal script is the ancestor of the modern (non-simplified) Chinese. My guess is that neither you nor I are "Indiana Jo

How does one (without access to exotic financial instruments) even do that?

That was the case when Standard Oil was broken up and it's not a problem. The retail arm becomes free to get their cloud computing needs from others -- say Azure or Google. Bezos can't force them to get a worse deal at AWS simply

The Caesar of Rome title isn't because the sultans actually viewed themselves as a descendant of the Roman empire but rather the inheritors of their legitimacy to rule and is actually part of the prophecies of Islam. Thus for the Sulta

Not sure if you know Chinese or not but seal script will look rather familiar to anyone who knows Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_script If you look at the picture on the upper right, you can make out &quot

Steve Jobs wasn't an athlete nor did he aspire to be one. He was smart enough to know there are millions who do have those aspirations.

I'll chime in too but about balsamic vinegar since someone else mentioned it. I've purchased store bought massed produced balsamic vinegar, American produced balsamic vinegar made in Napa, and DOP regulated balsamic vinegar aged 2

But that's been that way for some time now. My 2002 (E46) BMW 3-series has mostly Bosch parts inside. The transmission is made by... GM. The only thing that's BMW is the engine and the body. All the sensors on the engine are Bosch

This is actually a positive development in the long run. A few years ago my father, who lives and invests in China, boiled down the basic investment strategy in China to: invest in big companies because the government will always bail them

I LOVE the Master and Margarita but I've only read it in English. When you say you read it in Russian for the first time, did you mean you've read it in English before? If so, were there huge differences?

A uniformly random ID is really useful when you're implementing a distributed system and you want to evenly distribute the load. You can make certain useful assumptions when your IDs are uniformly random -- which is basically how hyerl

Did you fly in the years shortly after 9/11? There were soldiers armed with rifles, which may have automatic firing capabilities, back then. They aren't present now but I wonder if the GP's post is an impression from that per

But why not go nuclear? Not a full on nuclear reactor but one of those nuclear RTG batteries. The half life might be low but could you not keep doubling the amount until you reach the requisite years? Basically take the amount of Pu you nee

It mainly puts a price ceiling on oil. Fracking can be turned off or on on relatively short notice. Anytime the price dips too low, those rigs can be idled. If OPEC raises prices above breakeven for fracking, the rigs turn back on and pushe

Wait, 1989 was not a good year for Chinese liberalization... I think the high point was really under Hu Jintao. The transition from Hu to Xi was a very tumultuous period. Xi, unlike his predecessors, had a very contentious transition and ha

I think the important difference might be that Fortnite is making money off of them. Not necessarily agreeing with the lawsuits but that may be one reason why Fortnite is being sued but not the others.

There are reasons for push-vs-pull but one huge advantage of pull vs push is that you're less likely to get overwhelmed by useless metrics. You have to make a very deliberate decision to take the metrics you want. It also makes sense t
