Significantly smaller than Twitter of course but big enough to have a pretty good direct idea of sizes of various teams that are needed and also indirectly when working with larger apps of others. And for completeness I’ll admit that it was

Twitter is ridiculously overstaffed for what they are and it resulted in very few improvements over the years. I really wonder what most people there do. And yes, I’ve run popular apps so I’m not underestimating anything. If Parler can grab

Take this with all the weight a message board advice from a non-doctor is worth but have you tried Trazodone instead? It’s used widely for sleep issues and it’s effective for many. And have you looked at something like Ketamine for a possib

It's possible that their speech abilities were different from modern humans. If that's the case, it would be more than just looking differently. "We show that genes associated with face and vocal tract anatomy went through pa

Sometimes it's possible to stop for a yellow light by braking very hard. I hope Waymo cars don't this when they detect cars behind them, it's unsafe.

125 on a high school-administered test might have just meant average verbal ability and a perfect score on nonverbal questions. Presumably you would count the nonverbal section much more when picking candidates for a job in physics. I agree

I think that as a society we’re missing out on a lot of important findings and advances that would improve people’s lives because the IQ research has become somewhat of a taboo in social science. Linking it to eugenics is especially harmful

You might end up with something like Red Bull X2010. But you'd also reach the limits of human ability to withstand G-forces without passing out, especially in high speed turns and under braking.

I think Manhattan provides a strong counterexample. The 2nd Ave subway line cost $2.5 billion per mile. The cost to add elevators at 70 stations is expected to be $5.5 billion. A lot of signaling equipment is from the 1930s.

Traction control has been banned in F1 since 2008. There have always been engine regulations. The drivers are fighting as hard as ever against each other when they get a chance. Pit stop tactics are not a secret sauce. You can predict the p

The steering wheel looks awesome but for this price I’d expect the seat to move to simulate G-forces. And VR would be more realistic.

There are promising chess variants where all draws are eliminated: no black castling or no black short-castling Armageddon (draws are counted as wins for black). I wish they would test them instead of their picks - they are still chess unli

This index has a lot of noise. C++ is only up because Sep 2019 was a low point. Its popularity is lower than in June 2019 for example. I wouldn't put much stock in this and I like C++. Does anybody really believe that C actually fell f
