As a Swiss person who spent a few years in the 90s going to primary school on Langstrasse, watching junkies shoot up, and having to be careful in city parks to not step on the mountains of used needles… that is about the WORST idea I have e

Takes around 30min to 80% charge a Tesla. Have you ever been to a rental car lot? It's almost always full of cars. And when not full, it's because of the same event everyone is renting for, which doesn't indicate fast turnaro

When I was in college, we'd call the 1.5L bottles "handles." Now that I'm an adult, I haven't drank anything in a long time you can buy in "handle" size.

There's not much on either side of the Bering strait, so even if feasible there's probably little demand for it.

Given that Apple's stock price is up about $2.2 trillion since the award it doesn't seem to out of place for him to capture 0.034% of that value.

Yes, lock up 6000 people for one month to save one life that had 10 years left. Still not worth it to me.

Then you should maybe look at the context of what's being said — I was replying to a comment about Norway trading it's "10x lower" covid death rate with Sweden — where 0.014% of people died of Covid. Your numbers are bey

So, you're suggesting that 10% of all people over 60 years old died of Covid since this began? I would love to see you try to find me a source for this statistic. I'll wait…

Actually, I do trade the statistical risk of killing myself for some statistically greater benefit pretty much every single day and every action I take, from driving a car, to traveling for work, to any number of recreational activities lik

The key takeaway I had from Scott's post was this stat: >It takes people ~50 months of strict lockdown to save one month of someone's healthy life. Or another way to look at it, it takes 50 people locking down for a month to sa

I'd happily trade a 10x higher death rate (to a high of 0.014%, mostly among people who weren't far off from dying anyways) in exchange for everyone having 2 years of having a non-miserable life. I know it's incredibly taboo

This is where you build a UX around buying some crypto-token in the check-out flow via a simple redirect to a partner, fix your credit card issue, and the partner immediately gets you a USDC transfer after charging the credit card. Yes, the

That would be good (as long as people can't actually see the CSAM, perhaps find a hash collision), but I wouldn't want to be the one who ends up in solitary for life for taking one for the team.

I had a pretty shocking moment recently. I bought a cheap simple Chinese 55" TV when I moved into my new place in Hong Kong recently. Worked fine for 6 months. I don't connect it to the internet or cable, it's just a screen i

The way FDIC insurance works is that each account is insured for 250k. If the dollars are held in an omnibus account on behalf of GUSD holders, and the bank holding it were to go bust, Gemini could distribute $250k pro-rata to the billions

Why would you think USD is safe? It's been dropping precipitously over the past 18 months as the Federal Reserve just increases the money supply exponentially. Just check the USD/CHF pair for an example.

Anything viscous (paste, etc) counts as a liquid. I've had them give me shit about mashed potatoes in LAS, and nutella in TXL. But solid foods are totally fine.
