The author misunderstands some of the complaints against Apple. In this case: (1) Apple is effectively a monopoly, much more so than shopify. (2) the author can still sell to customers your SAAS service, just not through the shopify store.

I have some constructive feedback. The main video on your homepage confused me immensely. It was a guy from brex talking about retool, but they weren't very eloquent (no offense) and it rambled on forever. I thought it was going to be

I've been on both sides. You can think of the main people involved as: - internal executive sponsor (for a company the size of Apple there are probably 100 people who might be able to sponsor an acquisition and shepard it through, it&#

I feel like this is something that drones/100% automated ops can really help with. Power satellites (basically giant solar arrays transmitting power) are also interesting ( https://www.geekwire.com/2020/space-force-

The UKs adoption of First Dose First is amazing and inspiring in a time when governments worldwide seem unable to operate effectively. There are 2 things every country can do to save lives that have effectively zero cost and zero negative e

I think your statements that majority of people who have had an AI education think we are no closer to hyper intelligence than the 1500s is inaccurate. Here is a survey (first one I googled) showing most believe it is relatively soon: http

I think it's hard to be perfect but easy to be much better: 1) warn content providers before blocking whenever possible. It's rare something is so bad it requires immediate takedown. Allow people to reply to the warnings. 2) next

You have done great work and I appreciate it.

This is cool stuff. I don't know the state of the art here, but it seems like making progress on remote factory operations would dramatically speed up our ability to industrialize space.

It's very difficult as a consumer to get things off your credit report. You may be able to do.it, but expect it to take months of effort. For many small debts, it's just not worth it (and I believe this is by design).

There is a cohort of astronomers that don't want earths orbit filled with humans. It's sort of a naturalistic argument, effectively that they will lose their ability to take photos of what they want. On the margin, it's good

Copyright is messed up. It should definitely be shorter, or require annual registration fees that grow exponentially, or something. Society loses with copyright law the way it is. I suspect exponential growing registration fees is something

I was a huge proponent of challenge studies in April-September 2020. Now I don't really see the point except to build some sort of institutional process to try and make them more feasible in the next pandemic. Moderna's vaccine wa

I think this is semantic. At our company we use kamban, but each step is pretty literally a step (we move back and forth between being too detailed and too focused). For us, our main definition of a "step" is a handoff. When work

I don't follow this logic regarding this vaccine analogy. The government literally banned the use of many safe and effective vaccines entirely for almost a year, and every government has still banned some. They set the price, have bann

I don't understand your comment. The phase III study was done I'm the real world, not a lab. So it's not surprising we are seeing the same numbers as it rolls out. I'm fact, it would be suprising if it didn't match

The US also has almost no sense or urgency (maybe more than the EU, but pretty bad). Examples: - modernas main bottleneck is filling. They applied weeks ago to fill the same bottles with 15 doses instead of 10. The FDA has still not approve

Nuclear Fusion has made significant progress, and generally speaking the joke has been "its 20 years away and always will be". Only starting 2020 did people start to estimate shorter timelines, with ITER expecting to have net posi

I agree. I cannot think of a justification for public sector unions. The typical pro-union argument for companies is that they protect workers against abuses by the company. In the public sector, the union is supposed to protect workers fro

I think it's possible this is driven by legal, and not marketing. I found the app store privacy label questions very confusing if you think about it for too long. Their legal teammay want the product teams to wait until they get more c

I think selling stock with proper disclosures to the people who wanted it should have been achievable. This was in fact the biggest bull case I could think of: that by getting maybe $1B on the balance sheet they would be well capitalized to

This is why I generally support universal basic income if it could replace the US safety net. Currently we spend more than it would take to eliminate poverty if we just gave it away. But the beauracratic machine just destroys so much wealth

While I agree that 8k likely represents the limit to needed resolution for traditional TV screens, VR could use improvements beyond 8k. That is one usecase of 8k+ screens. Also, to address your storage/bandwidth concerns, I expect 8k t

I feel like I'm theory there is some place for "confirmed reviews", since both the positive reviews and negative reviews can be gamed. But confirmed needs to be something more deeply investigated to ensure the transaction was

This is a horrible decision. All the data we have suggests AZ is probably 100% effective at preventing death from the South African strain. (Mostly) everyone agrees we want to have a vaccine that is: -safer than not vaccinating -effective a
