No mention here of SMILE which seems to be gaining ground in much of the world, but pretty rare in the US. https://www.allaboutvision.com/visionsurgery/smile.htm Seems interesting, no flap like with LASIK and it may re

The difference is a percentage of people purposely buy more cryptocurrency than they can afford expressly because they think they will be able to sell it for more than they paid before the bill is due. Essentially the house flipping craze o

That's par for the course, for example you don't see Ford chipping in for the 275,000 street parking spots in the Bay Area. SF could easily remove one parking spot per block and make it parking for bikes and scooters. But then all

The other non-dairy milks at the grocery store are also named after their appearance. No one is trying to trick someone into drinking almond milk, the almond part is clearly labeled. But it's a white liquid used for many of the same th

But then you have to carry a scooter around with you and remember to charge it. It seems way more useful to just have one that is charged always available. Especially at the price point.

Tesla makes relatively few cars and has credit worries, I can definitely imagine suppliers not wanting to hand out big discounts.

Like all adaptive cruise controls, it will accelerate if you have the max speed set higher, but it will not ram into things since it's on you to steer.

The Earth has a long history and much of it was been a pretty awful environment for life (no oxygen would be a bummer for us, a hellscape of lava sounds uncomfortable and so does being under hundreds of feet of ice). That has nothing to do

I'd argue that humans adding CO2 to the atmosphere is "environmental engineering" and designing technology to reverse that is simply cleaning up.

Ah, you meant $25k as a limit because they give rewards and use a high rate for low balances as a technique to get new accounts (and the fees they get from you using the account). Still, I only see one offering above 3% and they pay 0.15% f

Google Maps gets new features all the time, it's weird Apple waits to give Maps an update annually. Apple would be better served decoupling a lot of the default apps from OS level updates.

A big win for Tesla would be if they were able to produce the car at the pricing and timing they said they were going to. Right now it's at least 50% more expensive and way behind schedule, there is no way to call it a "big win&qu

Well it has those risks too. Tainted copies of messaging apps shipped by hostile governments. If you download from the App Store you know you're getting the app that was signed by the developer.

Installing apps outside an app store also introduces other risks, it's not exactly one better than the other. Personally I'd love to sideload apps, but seeing how big of a mess that was on desktops leads me to believe most users a
