Just note that for some people, no pricing means "enterprise"/expensive. (I never even consider a product without transparent pricing myself, but others have had more success with this approach).

I think some of your points are valid.* However, if people are to wear masks until covid is truly gone, you may be asking people to wear masks forever. I think once covid is less of a population risk than a bad flu, all mandates should be d

There is no reason that "banning a drug" for everyone and "forcing medicare to pay for things" should be 1 thing. Should this be banned? Absolutely not. Should medicare be forced to pay for it? Also no. COVID vaccines we

These systems are basically banned from working as actual replacements for radiologists, so it's no surprise they aren't yet. We have repeatedly proved the superiority of expert systems (in the 90s) and AI and select medical tasks

I'm waiting for an electric mini van. The biggest Tesla isn't really competition for the Honda Odyssey. I would switch in a heartbeat to something comparible with >150 Mike's of range.

In my life, the most clear & obvious example of negative externalities is loud vehicles. I'm saying this as someone who would cut 90% of regulation: but I think anyone on a public street with a vehicle louder than a UPS truck shoul

I actually believe it's their AI gap filling approach that may account for better perceived handoffs there. It was introduced on duo, and was supposed to hit meet sometime.

In our current system, death penalty is more expensive than life in prison due to legal costs. Random source, I believe this is well accepted though. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs

This is great to hear. It seems like in 3.1 JIT will make probably sense for rails apps. Every little performance improvement helps!

For stuff like this it means making sincere good faith efforts to comply, and likely stipulated in the agreement. Settlement agreements are enforceable, so if the city had any reason to believe they were not deleted in reality, they try wou

Delaying the 2nd dose to 12 weeks was always most likely going to elicit a better response, this is customary for vaccines. It would have been much more supposing scientifically if this much shorter timeline did better. The UK's approa

I see the promise of Neuralink as being able to read and write to computers/ai directly at high bandwidth. It's a long way from that, but it's what its going for. Probably a good analogy is that we had letters and fax machine

I can say I looked at flat file and I think their pricing is just out of whack for what it does. Just being a cheaper version seems like a good market to me. P.S. others promote self hosted, but I wouldn't bother if we're you. I d

I agree with your stance. I was confused to come here and read that people thought he was referring to Mighty. I think Mighty is a pretty small, easily proven/disproven, not-crazy idea, not-that-new idea, with niche applications. To me

Why forgive rents? Housing prices going down is a good thing. They are high and rising. We need the opposite.

Or focus on lowering costs. We learned in the pandemic how fundamentally broken the FDA is. There is no reason that things can't be faster that "operation warp speed" all the time. Or re-focus the monetary models around eithe

I agree. It should cost them almost nothing to run (on a comparative basis). They made $15B I believe. $100M/year + payment processing fees seems generous.

Also, while covid is not done yet, it's probably going to kill in total much less than 100M. COVID is bad, but in some ways we got lucky because there could have been way worse pandemics that acted more like smallpox or measles.

Reid Hoffman has talked about this quite a bit. So if this is a 13 hour season, at $500m, that is about $40M per hour. Big budget movies can be easily over $100M per hour.

As a counterpoint, I instantly knew 90% what this was by using the term.

Doesn't that just cost society more? In actual dollars a 150 year sentence would cost taxpayers something like $10M (apparently prison costs like $81k/year in the US)

I'll note safety of cycling is a big concern of mine, and by far the biggest reason I do not generally bicycle to commute, and only do it for leisure off roads whenever possible. Cycling is roughly 2x as dangerous as driving (1) to the

I thought it was an interesting tool, thanks for sharing. But it's very opinionated in often bizarre ways, where it required choices all of which seemed bad and often all choices would increase the debt. For example, it asked which fre

I agree people should have room for errors. However this person's job was "race and inclusion editor". If someone's job was to say "guard a vault" and the vault is robbed because they had a bad day, it's r

I think interest rates almost can't possibly explain it. The cost to take 4 single family lots and build a 12 story building to fit maybe 100 units. The actual per unit construction cost is like $100k ($10M for the building), but that

Its an interesting product. For someone using Aurora Postgres though, it leaves lots of unanswered questions about compatibility. This page they link to is basically a landing page with no details: https://fauna.com/postgres
