To add to this, there is a big problem with the current structure of "insurance" as a flat rate for all consumers. The risk is shared between the business and consumer, as all legitimate businesses still have disputes and I know m

I didn't see system requirements and limitations. Gpu required? Normally for training ML hardware matters, so odd this doesn't talk about that at all.

Thank you for getting it started. I'm not 100% sure I understand it all. It's obviously important to figure out if it is safer or riskier.

I thought your Your 2.08 crashes/million miles number had to be wrong, since if that were true the average person would have about 1 accident every 50 years or so (which doesn't match my experience of everyone I know having accide

It's now youtube music, it's basically the same. Although you can watch videos in it, or just listen to videos as music? It's sort of odd and I half get it (lots of good audio content on youtube if you turn off the video). So

22B / 4,800B in spend = about 0.5%. math checks out. Hard to argue we are prioritizing space that much.

Most recent tesla report has autopilot accident rate 10x below national average, 2x-4x below tesla owners not using it. Selection bias in results but overall the implication is that autopilot is both safer and that their rollout is very con

...but slack is async. Calls are for realtime. If their company tried to use slack to mean syncronous communication, that seems like the root problem.

Not lockdown is an alternative. If you run through the expected value calculations lockdowns make no sense. COVID running rampant means an age adjusted mortality rate that matches 2005. Things weren't so bad then.

15-20% of net income. No way they will ditch that. They also have app store search. So odds of it being ad free are zero.

They sent this to employees ofa company? I would immediately fire this vendor if this is correct, regardless of my political views. It exposes way too much liability to have a vendor you hire lobbying your employees without your knowledge o

I think this hits the core of the problem on the head, that Katzenberg and Whitman thought they knew what millennials wanted, but they simply did not. They thought millennials wanted "shorter" based on the success of tiktok/i

This is a political piece. Science is best when it stays clear. Try to find facts, the let societies figure out how to best respond. Scientists predict letting COVID run rampant would cause all cause age adjusted deaths to be about 805 per

I think length is not the right issue IMO. Creatively, dramas should have a clear story to tell. If that is 1 hour, or 100 hours, that is ok. But stopping unexpectedly halfway through is bad. An easy way for netflix to help is to say "

I appreciate you sharing your comment, but the reality is you can't just stop something by making it illegal. Even if we all agreed "marijuana for recreation is bad" (which it is not so clear on - it seems likely less bad tha

I love the effort to quantify things! It's a great approach. I am sure there are a bunch of ways to nitpick but I appreciate the approach. I personally think you need a drop-down for age and your risk tolerances are roughly 10x off wha

Health privacy, while kind of important Ina vacuum, is maybe the most overrated issue of our day. Not only do I not care if my health data is out there but I wish it were. Right now healthcare is barely using data, it's absurd. Let&#x2

For some context at 1M deaths so far, and pessimistically if we end 2020 with 1.5M global deaths, this would be <3% increase over 2019 deaths ( https://ourworldindata.org/births-and-deaths ), and with most deaths being of
