TLDR version: horses broadly used in the American west (like New Mexico) just 30 years after Spanish arrival (so 1520ish). Earlier guess was that it was much later, 1700ish coming from the east to west across North America. Good context fro

So? Bad lawyers do this too. And like there is something OpenAI could do that wouldn't involve stopping cutting and pasting on every internet enabled device in the world? There are a bunch of real problems to deal with, OpenAI should n

Not at all, trust it entirely on clear water. The UVC tech is very effective, they've got nice technical papers on it. And it's widely used for larger scale water treatment and very well understood. If anything, the convenience is

One tip I use is to not waste money is never be subscribed to any streaming platform. So sign up for 1 month, cancel immediately and then watch what you wish for the month. Netflix used to be a pretty good deal because they had a depth of g

Lots of people are mentioning UVC, Steripen https://www.amazon.com/SteriPen-Adventurer-Opti-Water-Purifi... has worked great for me for over 10 years. No funny taste and to me easier to use then the pump or squeeze filters.

For academics I think this is fine, the whole job is to look for new extensions of the law. But it shows how very far we are from any kind of basis for "stopping tech." Gonna be hard to achieve consensus around "raising fares

Normal earphones don't have these restrictions. No one is making eardrum piercing earphones. It would have been much better if they had just deregulated them right when congress told them to in 2017. Or even better the FDA could have a

It's interest rates. Capital is becoming more expensive. If you are a good CFO, you say: "Hey remember how we want 5 years of cash, well i just looked at selling bonds and getting cash now is expensive." For tech companies th

A million is just so many. I expected abuses, like "tell us about your uncle or we'll put you on the no fly list." So something like 50,000 people or so. It was originally marketed as people directly involved with terrorism.

Here's a video of cars on the street in the Soviet Union in 1965. Lots of walkers and few drivers at mid day in a dense area of Moscow. https://youtu.be/8uK5y8YjJTM?t=309 One from 1952, less of a big overview though.

GDP per person in history always blows my mind. In 1949, UK gdp/person was $11,000. Lower than Brazil now at $14K. $11K is right where Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bosnia are today. Communist countries like the Soviet Union or Poland were a

Mid term (2-5 years) it seems like it would be optimal for Twitter to leave SF. Downtown isn't that great to work in and the Elon hate is red hot. They could still keep their SF employees as a satellite office. Bailing on what is surel
