Not satire. Have never been stranded with a dead watch, don't even think to check its battery life ever. Granted, I have all notifs muted so it operates mostly as a watch, but still

Totally. These things have incredible battery life. In a practical sense, they run forever if you remember to put one on the charger when you shower/get ready in the morning.

> 90% reduction in costs Curious what accounts are being attributed to said costs. Many new maintenance-related lines will be added, with only one (subscription) removed.

Adsense alone would more than cover this. Of the 2M users, guessing the MAU is much lower, which would render the ad model non viable. Still always sucks to see solid products rendered unsupportable

OpenAI and Anthropic also believe that, too. The thing they have is products, customers, and traction. $5B pre-product, betting on the team is fine. $50B needs to be a lot more than that. Many examples of industries collapsing under the wei

Current investors just need the co to be valued at $50B on the next round (likely, given fomo and hype) to make a 10X gain. Actually converting it to cash? That doesn't happen anymore. Everyone just focuses on IRR and starts the campai

While this report is embarrassing for all involved, in a practical sense, I'd argue the security of this app was "fine." What I mean: security through obscurity is imo the best situation to be in. You can't attack someth

Regardless of the nostalgia factor of old media (whose value is overstated, imo), the only practical alternative these days is not owning any media at all. So when no single streaming service pays the license to stream The Matrix, the film

SaaS was born from comments like this. Paying to keep the lights on, effectively ensuring that an employee quitting won't undermine the entire operation.

Admitting blame in any form exposes you to all sorts of litigation potential. Since it's impossible to know definitively that every hire you make is a good human, it's inevitable that someone will come along who can really do dama

It sounds like the differentiator here is that it's modular for the purposes of creating unique branded experiences. Is this in effect to position it as an Android alternative for applications in things like cars, etc?

Wow. It's like he doesn't know what art is. Not really.

I try not to ever give advice, even if someone explicitly asks for it. I try to share my experience, or a story, and hopefully some of it resonates. The most annoying thing I'd hear from other business folk when I was running a compan

Weird calling it an "AI Studio" when it's effectively a Nintendo Mii generator?

Old habits die hard! Just bought a Thinkcentre Tiny, and it's about 10X more powerful than anything I would have assumed I'd buy. Time to dust off the ol' home lab

Short answer: I don't know. Cruft can be good. If you give everyone a chance to speak on any issue, it's extremely slow, but also the most egalitarian. When societies move too fast, large groups of people are invariably marginaliz

> this assumes that the process of time is tending towards the better. Yes, this I generally believe, at least as far as societal maturity is concerned. We still have our moments, of course.

I feel like there's probably an excellent reason that the order is the way it is, due to the wonderful process of time. This feels a lot like saying "let's just blow up the tax code and rewrite it!" And we end up generat

Using a benign example, imagine a day in traffic court, with cases distributed randomly. According to the schedule, Officer A must be present at 8am, 930am, 1005am, 142pm, 315pm for their relevant cases. Officer B must be present at 803am,

Judging yesterday's findings with today's information is never fair. Should Galileo be punished for malpractice because he thought tides were related to the sun?

I wonder if this butts up against the fourth and fifteenth amendments, which touch on due process and justice not being delayed unnecessarily. Randomness introduces inefficiency which implies delay

That's some Team Sky logic ;) It doesn't matter when you have to ride your sponsor's bike. Example: Pogacar's Colnago is decidedly not aero; Cavendish's Wilier ain't the best sprinter bike. But they're all

It's the thing that the entire drivetrain bolts to. Aero matters, but the differences between frames are negligible. If we're talking about emotors, they need to be compatible with the drivetrain, regardless of frame.
