Sadly, for video content there's not likely to be any physical ownership within a few years.

Continually posting on social media about topics unrelated to building cars, rockets, satellites is all about influencing public perception of yourself. So clearly he does care what people think of him and actively spends time managing that

His behavior on X seems to contradict that though. What does any of that have to do with building the best products?

The remote control that came with our Samsung TV has a small solar panel on the back. You just leave it face down when not in use and then never seem to have to charge it via the USB.

Is there an argument to be made that this could be retro-fitted in older homes to reduce fire risk? Or does fire risk mostly come from outlet wiring?

Audible for audiobooks is the most obvious there. That's an interesting point about podcasts, I naively assumed most people were familiar with them long before Spotify offered them. I have been using PocketCasts for many years but iTun

My point still stands. They chose the path of trying to get market share from incumbents in the podcast and audiobook market rather than trying to innovate in their core music business and that has cost them in multiple ways.

How does innovation help them make more money? In the case of higher quality, they can charge more. There are premium services such as TIDAL doing that.

> Honestly, what do you expect Spotify to do? Innovate to grow, if growth is the objective. For example, they could better serve the audiophile market with higher quality offerings. Not as much growth there though.

I heard the NPR piece about this yesterday. I enjoyed when they asked a 100 year what the most impactful invention of their lifetime has been and they said the interior spring mattress.

I had a kid in early 2021 and was in the throws of burnout at work at that time. I'm out the back end of it now and didn't have to make any drastic changes. Here's what worked for me (most important first): - Lowered my expec

OP said they'd just had a kid. It's probably pretty difficult for them to start a regular hard exercise regime.

I live in Boulder. It's certainly expensive, although more reasonable than some of the other popular tech cities. I honestly don't think of it as crowded though. There's tourist spots to avoid, but plenty of open space for al

Wouldn't it make more sense if HNW was relative to the individual country for this map? e.g. a non-HNW individual leaving the US may become a HNW individual in another country. EDIT: I understand HNW has a definition already, I just me

Right. I think we'll end up seeing models that iterate on larger parts of autoregressive generations before presenting them to the user. It's just more compute, i.e. the bitter lesson.

There's a similar point to be made about simulation. When philosophers suggest we might live in a a simulation I always wonder where the simulation would be running such that all this detail could be coherently generated.

Interesting to see Netflix listed as a supported platform. I wonder why that's beneficial versus native iOS and Android versions? EDIT: I guess maybe it's the pricing model, i.e. dev gets paid by Netflix rather than based on indiv
