19B international exposure really doesn't seem like a lot, but, as you said, in the context of 300B total in liabilities. $279B is -a lot- for a Chinese market where the home ownership rate is almost 90% and non-primary home purch

This. It's not entirely clear that remote working is at all more "worker-friendly." Flexibility has increased, mostly, but so has overwork and mental health issues.

I share your sentiments. A simple (hah!) robot that can carry ~20-50lb loads while traversing suburban/urban terrains and navigate stairs between two pre-set points. Would make a huge difference for those that are elderly and/or

According to other sources, Microsoft will reveal Windows 365 pricing on Aug. 2, when the service becomes generally available. Cool to see RDP-ish type capabilities outside of tech circles but will wait until the price is revealed. My guess

A second reason is simply that the US as a big homogeneous market is a nice one to tackle for European companies as well. And often that means having a (big) presence in the US. The EU is basically many markets unified by really comple

For those that read this article, I highly recommend you watch the 1998 COMDEX video it references. [1] It's both sad and amazing that much of what we use today was "coming soon" 23 years ago. [1] https://archive

Also, do at least some light curation (votes/ranking/popularity). Hitting a page full of Untitled themes that all look similar isn't good for browsing.

787's are super cool. I happened to fly back from Japan on one before their (first?) grounding and it was quite enjoyable. The additional cabin pressure for a "lower altitude feeling" and lower noise do really help reduce f

A380 is a great plane, very fun to fly on. Too bad they're being grounded on most airlines for the foreseeable future due to their economics.

I echo your sentiments on Costco but this is an argument for different metrics, not an argument against analytics. There is no chance that Costco doesn't use analytics. They might not A/B test their online button colors for highe

Sounds overly-simplistic but the solution is to build trust again. Unfortunately, the incentives that rule our society are pushing us away from this. We need to align incentives properly if we're going to have any hope of building trus

Having worked on the publisher side for most of my web dev career, I can say with confidence that most ad spend attribution is a load of crock. Sure people along the line claim to have attribution figured out but, coincidentally, they al

False equivalence. Regulating what happens on your own private platform to ensure compliance with applicable laws is, and always has been, the job of the platform owner. It is not realistic to expect law enforcement to check every platform

Serious question: Why doesn't AMZ just buy TimeScaleDB instead of building their own? Time series db's in general seem to fit their vibe pretty well: it's a new hot tech, it's usually deeply embedded into infrastructure

I'd argue there's a qualitative difference between A/B testing regular pricing vs. testing via targeted discounts. If your friend finds out you got a "private sale" price, this doesn't seem to violate the &quot
