I don't know. Some claim that up until 3 years ago, Amazon was still commingling their own inventory, but they have stopped since then. However I can't find any authoritative source to confirm this.

If your 15B queries are generated by 15B website visits monthly, your web properties should be generating tens of millions of dollars in monthly income. So a few thousand dollars is nothing. Unless your traffic is non-revenue generating or

Yes, I'd like to see that. I did spend about 15 minutes googling for any evidence similar to this and came up completely empty-handed.

If it was true it would be easy to find photographic evidence online. The fact no one in this thread can provide any evidence makes me think this is a rubbish claim.

You mean the purple color light physically changes the color of the plant? I didn't know that. I tried googling and can't find examples. Can you provide some evidence? It seems hard to believe.

Just plug the phone charger in a power outlet timer that turns on the power just 2 hours per day. That would simulate normal daily phone charging.

Your comparison would make sense if cheetahs had 60 times more muscular mass than Usain Bolt, or were somehow 60 times more powerful. They don't. They aren't.

« ~40 MJ/kg for gasoline and 0.4 MJ/kg for a lithium ion battery » That is correct. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and for the Tesla Plaid that's 0.65 MJ/kg (or 181.5 watt·hours per kilogram) But my follow-up question

The 2022 Maverick has an engine literally twice more powerful than the 1962 F-100 (270 vs 135 hp). With your logic, picking on one tech detail of many, I could argue the 1962 model is "not really a pickup truck" with such a puny e

When I go to ford.com and look at their basic truck, the 2023 Maverick, I see "starting at $22,195". So if a 1962 truck truly sold for $2000, the inflation seems to account for entirely the price increase. And I'm pretty sure

You underestimate future AI tech (from 10-50 years from today) even more than you think I underestimate sales skills. The tech will completely blow your mind away, and you don't even see it coming ;)

You don't need chatbot tech to be indistinguishable from strong AI, just indistinguishable from an average salesperson. Like babyshake, I firmly believe that this will happen one day. 10 years? 50 years?

Doing the exact math, a 422-grain bullet shot at 3300 feet/sec is 13,833 joules of kinetic energy (.5 * mass * speed*2 = energy) Right before hitting the target it slowed down to 600 feet/sec, meaning it lost 97% of its kinetic en
