At SFO half the time the Clear + TSA-pre is slower than the standard TSA-pre anyway.

Yes - I think this is one of the major takeaways. A good CEO matters a lot and bad or mediocre ones ruin companies.

The first iPod had a wheel that physically moved and would get dirt and stuff stuck in it/have issues. The HDD would also freeze up. It was better than alternatives at the time, but it wasn't really until the click wheel it got re

Yeah - the first one is always at the edge of what's possible with the hardware capabilities at the time of launch at the quality level Apple demands. Then usually they refine it and end up defining the category. The idea of 'spat

It depends - I mostly agree with that blog post. If a leader doesn't understand the underlying role (at least somewhat) - they can't reason about it. The best people managers I had were good at that skill and took it seriously, bu

Highly dependent on the person. I had one at my old job and stood once for four hours, hated it, and never stood again. My coworker had one that was always raised and didn’t even have a chair.

Depends on the thing, detailed instructions of how to build nuclear weapons and enrich uranium is one example.

The best framing of this imo is all of the other animal extinctions caused by humans - not because humans hate these animals, but because humans were focused on other goals without really thinking of them. In the case of an unaligned AGI th

Human intelligence is not the limit of intelligence (or likely even close to it) - even if just considering the speed alone. Humans are also more aligned by default given our shared evolutionary history, but even that doesn't mean we&#

Arguably there is - training is not a copyright violation imo. I think it's more akin to you viewing the art and then later making your own thing, you get an intuition/inspiration from what you've seen. The other complaints a

Cynical pessimism is easy and lame - it doesn’t make you sound smart, I like to see people try new things. Every new thing has these sorts of articles written about it, they’re best to just ignore.

The supercharger network makes road trips fine too. I’ve done them they’re not a big deal. I also somewhat take issue with the article’s premise anyway - model y was the top selling car on earth this year. Clearly people are buying EVs.

Not sure if you’ve looked at urbit and the tlon app, but it’s come a long way for groups. It also doesn’t rely on a benevolent administrator like mastodon does, each user has their own urbit tied to their ID. Disclaimer that I work on it, b

Yeah - this is probably the main benefit. Cities draw lots of people, typically ambitious people, but really all types. > Ambitious people are rare, so if everyone is mixed together randomly, as they tend to be early in people's liv

I think the Bay Area and NYC have their own strengths. The Bay is more of a morning city and has a lot of nice nature and day trips around it. Easy to go to sonoma/napa, yosemite, tahoe, nice places on the peninsula, half moon bay, etc

I haven't lived in manhattan ever, but I used to spend weeks there in 2014 for work (also in DC), and I've lived in London for a few months and now SF for years. Cities generally have more variety of types of food (Burmese, Indian

Are they as high quality? I’ve seen the Apple charging hardware breakdowns and they pack a ton of stuff in there.

This is the reason I only use apple chargers for charging everything.

Not using the Apple wallet app is a huge bummer. I assumed after approval I’d be able to add it to Apple wallet, is that not the case?

Add a home smart lock and you can get to the point where you only need to carry your phone. Probably could go even further and only carry Apple Watch and AirPods in most cases!

Yeah the irony is he used to get a lot of hate from the right (because of environmentalism and EVs being left-coded) while the left loved him, but it's flip-flopped. I think partly because the media is directly threatened by twitter -

Yeah, this is basically the reason. The price is comparable, the costs of ownership are way lower, and the product is at least twice as good. There's basically no downside which is why they're selling so well.

HN is just generally awful on this topic and not worth commenting in imo. Tesla is very well positioned even if they did zero on FSD (which they won't). The Model Y was the best selling car on earth across all categories (including ICE

I don't want this - it creates very bad incentives around even more engagement bait crap except now I'm directly funding stuff that pulls my attention before I can even tell if it's garbage. I prefer the substack or direct su

I think it's just politics mixed with his Twitter ownership making him enemy number one of the mainstream press (replacing Zuck - they like Zuck now). You get article after article hating on him - it ends up affecting reputation and pu

I saw more of the opposite - people dismissing him because of identity politics and just because he's a billionaire. My impression was he had strict requirements because part of the design is about tradeoffs and cost and the reason thi
