The thing that killed Google for me isn't the AI, but seeing issues that clearly indicate bad search engineering versus simply search engineering designed to make Google more money. The most obvious one was personalization. The pitfall

Last I was there, a Burger King had smashed windows and was serving customers like nothing happened. Didn’t even clean the shards, just put some yellow tape in the area.

Looks like he was Director and then CTO at these companies. In other words his reports were very senior and had a wide array of organizational information sources. Similar to the Nvidia CEO who doesn't do 1-on-1s with his very senior V

The official Signal stance has been last I checked: >we really don't want forked versions of the app maintained by other parties connecting to our servers.

Obviously good ideas are ones that a large company department will also easily get funding for. That increases the competition a lot.

Sure but if housing density also increases then you'll just keep the existing equilibrium. NYC has the best public transit in the US with less than half the households even owning a car. Yes car traffic is famously bad.

I agree but that's not what the article is discussing and accounting for the costs of.

“ let’s say we build 30 miles of subway, about what Manhattan has in that area.” Public transportation that connects to nothing is not useful. The NY metro area has a massive public transit set of systems that extend out for a hundred miles

> Rabbit is doing it now. You mean Perplexity, Anthropic, and OpenAI are doing so now. Rabbit is just using their models. Also, Startups are not hackers.

You do realize Google and Apple control 100% of the phone market, right? They don't need Rabbit's interaction data. They have their own. Their beta users probably provide more data than Rabbit's whole user base will.

Nothing about those features is specific to this device. OpenAI can do it in their app, or Google/Apple as a built in phone integration. In fact those companies have more data, more compute, more experience and more end users which mat

The problem is that it doesn't matter who pays the cost. Let's say I live in the US where the social safety net isn't large and companies can fire me at will. Let's say I'm also competent and driven. Logically I foc

This misses the big one: California bans non-competes, bans anti-moonlighting clauses and lets you quit with no notice. If you’re at an EU company and need to give 3+ months notice to quit that will discourage starting your own company on t

This doesn't do that. It shits on the competition and then says their approach is better but doesn't detail that (wait for the next blog post...).

I don't see vouchers mentioned in the article and the official post is pretty clear that refunds must be in the original form of payment. And automatic. https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/biden-harris-ad.

Isn't Clear only for the pre-check and not for the scanning? TSA Pre let's you get the metal detector only but I thought Clear goes to the regular security screening unless you also have TSA Pre.

Some fail, some succeed. Same as the US. That's my point. In terms of terrorism, let's look at what France could do for the last almost 20 years: > The ability of the government to establish “individual monitoring and surveilla

You live in a democracy (thus have the power to vote), support the system they rule through and overall benefit from its policies. edit: There's also polls that say European citizens are very much in favor or at least don't care e

Who does? Europeans are mostly happy giving more power to their government including surveillance (they're tried to make end-to-end encryption illegal how many times now?). Australians allow the government to force companies to build b

I used a YoLink vibration sensor. The lack of a local mode for YoLink is a big negative but there's also Zigbee vibrations sensors. The positive is that in my experience YoLink has been very reliable across the board while Zigbee has b

I did something similar except I used a vibration sensor since we have shared laundry for the floor. When doing laundry we take the sensor and then stick it, using the magnets glued to the back, onto the dryer/washer. The distance drop

I wonder if the t-shirts were basically a way to siphon some investor money directly into their own pockets. Or if someone just thought they can do it cheaper and then ran into sunk cost fallacy.
