The current White House press statements are often bullshit, but most of the above statement is at least directionally true. Unemployment is still at historically low levels and has been flat for a year. US Real Average Hourly Earnings are

Please be careful about Freakonomics and the other PopSci books like it. Many of the claims it makes have either been disproven, shown to be flawed, or do not reflect consensus among serious researchers. Some examples here: https:/&#x

Looking at the Performance page, this doesn’t seem that impressive to me. The profits are primarily driven by going long on coins during a crypto boom, plus some favorable Rivian and Nvidia trades. If you exclude all the crypto related stuf

Military divers who need to be underwater for long periods are almost certainly using rebreathers, both for the longevity and for the lack of visible & audible bubbles.

Uber had EBITDA of $6.5B for full year 2024: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1543151/000154315125... I agree with the rest of your comment, though. The US public markets reward creative accountin

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you made multiple strong claims without a single citation or study link. We could have a better conversation with data to look at. There's a decent (though somewhat biased) review of the debat

And how much of that is solar instead of Powerwall and Megapack? They don’t break it out in filings unless I missed it.

Elon’s antics certainly haven’t helped things, but the real story is legitimate alternatives finally entering the market from multiple OEMs (especially BYD) and Tesla’s absolute face plant on model development. A large portion of Tesla’s sa

Regarding the fact that your son’s watch has 2x the battery life of the others, did you ever test the real capacity of each of the batteries? Speaking from experience, batteries sourced from random Chinese suppliers can have wildly differen

Actually it is! Although your tolerances will not be as good as with a fusion jet printer. For FDM, print on a textured bed and play with the “fuzzy skin” settings in Cura. You’ll get quite close to what’s shown in the author’s pictures.

That's literally what Jack Welch did with General Electric in the 80s and 90s, and all the Boomers loved him for it. And yes, PE firms do it all the time as well - it's actually pretty rare for PE to acquire a large company that i

Having a step-by-step guide and actually being able to follow it are two very different things. If you follow YouTube channels like The Thought Emporium you'll see how hard it is just to duplicate existing lab results from published

If you only have a vague idea of what the product will be (or at least what the real problem to solve is) and you don't have any potential buyers to talk to then you really shouldn't be writing a single line of code at all. You sh

RenTech was founded by legit signals processing guys who cut their teeth breaking codes for the NSA and basically invented ML for the stock market. They also built the best dataset in the world (at the time) for stock info as a competitive

I've also interviewed many consultants over the years. It strongly depends on what you are interviewing them for . If you want people with deep industry expertise and a strong fit for a fairly narrow role, then yes of course the consu

Look up "nuclear verdicts". The unreasonably large dollar amount is intentional and not meant to reflect the real value of harm caused.

I wonder if adding stickers, tattoos, or makeup that look like eyes above or below your real eyes would do it.

I’ve done this a few times in the past as well. But I found it’s less stressful for everyone if you preface it first like, “You’ve been really helpful. Can I tell your manager or mention you in a survey or something?” (Note: direct managers

The 100% tariffs are already in place under the Biden administration. Trump only needs to prevent a Mexico manufacturing loophole. However, BYD still has the entire rest of the world to sell to. They will be fine.

What do you think opting out does exactly? For the system to work they must already have your photo associated with your name and ID. And even if you opt out they’re still tracking your movement. It seems like an impotent protest so I don’t

It's not a non-answer. Good managers need to figure out what metrics make sense for the team they are managing, and that will change depending on the company and team. It might be new features, bug fixes, new product launch milestones,
