I unironically like it, too. It might not look nice in photos, but the semi-permanence of scaffolding in NYC has resulted in some pretty nice-looking scaffolding structures, some even with lighting. (John Wilson made a great episode on that

So obviously the new terms are worse for almost all business cases. That said, it's interesting to look at cases where they might be better. If you have a F2P game app averaging 50€ revenue per user per year and you introduce a limitat

I don't understand why we're acting like preventing obesity for society at large is an unsolved problem. Looking at Japan with an obesity rate of 3%, it's clearly possible.

Assistant is included on most Android devices nowadays. Assuming smartphones in general have 90%+ market penetration, 42% market share for Android, and an average household size of 3, it seems reasonable to assume that 50%+ of households wi

I'm not an Elon Musk fan by any metric, but frankly, this article, or rather the sentiment behind it, is ridiculous. It just goes to show, you can revolutionize electric cars and private spaceflight, build a successful business empire,

Right. I think the point of the article was to determine what's best for your business at large, not what would make a few customers happy at the expense of your overall success.

It's more like $50 if we assume the net hourly rate of a SWE to be $100. That's higher than the usual parking ticket of ~$15.

That would make sense, except it was mentioned elsewhere on this thread that there is a 50% quota for OBC people at IITs. Are you saying that OBC are so far behind their peers at the time of admission that only 0.6% (1 in 180, as mentioned
