At this point they're competing with CloudFront, S3, and Lambda, but it is still a a long ways away from all of AWS.

Fun fact: you can downvote a song on YouTube Music and they'll continue to recommend it in your mixes or when you reaches the end of your current playlist. Since I have YouTube Premium anyway, I use YouTube Music, and before that used

I agree with you that we should be pursuing wind and solar at this point, but this isn't because it's a better solution technologically. Nuclear is still slightly better, IMO. It's just politically a non-starter, mostly due t

You mean for cost-prohibitive homeless people? For people with decent incomes, 3-5 drinks a day is easily affordable. Beer is < $1.00/drink[0] and Trader Joe's sells bottles of wine for $2.00[1]. A single coffee costs $4 before

Interesting bit about geosphere vs biosphere. Every time someone mentions for carbon sequestration tech, people snarkily claim we're just reinventing trees. That said, I don't think that a benchmark of "keep it sequestered fo

We might do well to switch to non-age segregated groups and non-organized situations, but "being on Zoom" doesn't seem to meet the requirements in either case. We've got much smaller family sizes than 100-150 years ago,

Jeez, how'd I get $1200? $1600, yeah, thanks. If your monthly bills are $100 below what you make, then it makes sense that an extra $133 will shift you from "guess I'll skip dinner" to "I don't have to skip di

Only companies being fined should get a say in what the fine is? That is the opposite of how you address self-serving behavior.

I think it's 99.7% within three standard deviations (e.g., in either direction) so presumably half as many are three standard deviations above the mean—99.85% (top 0.15%). Tiny % either way.

My initial reaction is that this feels brittle (because people are incentivized to break it) and and hard to scale, but thinking about it more, it might be more scalable than I'd thought -- e.g., I'll only migrate from Chartio t

The NPR citation you posted suggests the Moderna control group was offered the vaccine in January 2021, about 14 days after it was approved . Moderna was approved on December 18, 2020.[0] Moderna phase 3 trial started on July 27, 2020.[1]

True, but can we cut it 50%? Can we convert 20% to bicycles, or 10% to walking, or 5% to scooters, or all of the above? I don't think we'll get rid of all personal transportation, or even all car usage, but it's highly variab
