Well if you're working for Dominos that rules out the university ecosystem... Regardless, I dislike the Midwest and choose to not live there.

He would have taken a loan against Tesla shares to buy SpaceX shares, that is definitely legal (albeit risky considering the volatility of TSLA). The reason it's likely a loan is that he doesn't have $100m sitting around.

To be honest, making APIs for selling pizza doesn't seem so bad compared to working for a monstrous company like Facebook or Uber. That said, I'd never want to be anywhere near Ann Arbor.

It makes perfect sense to me, I read it as "Very high quality video of the moon". Just like when I can download a movie in SD or HD I know which one will almost surely look nicer even though it's possible the HD version is th

People on welfare in the US are by defacto struggling, I don't think it's a meaningful data point to say that they don't seem very happy.

You might have to hunt for one, but then you can leave it right at your destination so it should even out somewhat. That said, dockless bikes are everywhere in Seattle right now. Docked bikes never took off here, but I see people on the d

But they do, commercial satellite imagery is a big business (anyone who has used Google Earth knows this). It's just not the business SpaceX is in so it's not worth going through the hassle.

Which makes it even more dumb, the people we don't want taking pictures do so at will while the people we don't mind taking pictures are banned.

Prime is such a success because it triggers more Amazon purchases, such a hypothetical offering from Instacart would trigger more money losing deliveries for Instacart.

Or just find a shady real estate developer. Maybe one who has a famous name and had a reality TV show. A real greedy and corrupt type who doesn't ask a lot of questions or do much (or any) due diligence.

It's much easier for a state to seize your cryptocurrency key than foreign real estate. There's a whole system of law protecting your NYC penthouse, but a couple of goons and a hammer can take all your BTC (without any way to reve

Statistically there are almost no hackintoshes, it would be a very dumb reason to switch from Intel chips. The much more likely reason is that Intel chips have hit something of a performance wall and Apple also runs a much more popular ARM

Tens of thousands of people are killed every year[1] in just the United States, humans are awful at driving. If autonomous vehicles are able to make driving as safe as flying it will be like curing breast cancer in terms of lives saved. [

But isn't the whole point of autonomous cars that humans are pretty shitty drivers? If I could augment my vision with a 360º setup of cameras and LIDAR you better believe I would!

> It's always exactly the opposite: there's a line of ten families at the rental desk, each person takes at least ten minutes (!) to process, and the desk has one, maybe two people, for a total of half an hour in line or more.
