A lot of people are speculating that the current delivery delays are due to a shortage of radar units, and that this timeline was rushed forward so that they don't have to wait anymore.

This from the company that can't get their vision-based rain sensor to work properly doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.

I guess one answer is that there's an asymmetry here. There are many terrestrial options for internet service, but there's only one sky to observe. The terrestrial options would need to be funded , but I am skeptical that would b

What I find kind of frustrating about all of this is that it's really a lack of mandated and/or publicly-funded investment in infrastructure that even makes starlink appealing. When electricity came about, there was a massive proj

Wouldn't a simple solution be to allow people to disable or hide NSFW streams? Reddit and Twitter both have this, IIRC.

I'm not sure why it's relevant that they have OnlyFans links, unless Amazon's position is that no one who has an OnlyFans or who makes adult content on other platforms is allowed on Twitch. > “she’s doing the equivalent of

This info seems a little out of date at this point. This is a map of 120 kW+ Electrify America charging stations from PlugShare: https://i.imgur.com/1dcM6UX.png . I agree we need more, but I don't know if it feels right

For the first one, are you considering the Electrify America network? I follow a guy on YouTube who takes road trips using the EA network. The issues he has are not so much that the stations don't exist, but that the charging is slower

Sure the checkout process is great, but as someone who ordered a car in March and is still waiting, it kinda goes downhill from there.

But is that being driven by people moving from rural Oregon? I am skeptical.

I have a theory that once you get something out there, it establishes you as a person who can ship stuff independently. Even if it's not a success, it'll introduce you to people who may help you discover better ideas. If you can b

I can't find it right now, but I saw this infographic the other day showing how the ideology/goals of cryptocurrency have shifted over time. Something along going from a literal currency to replace the dollar to going toward its p

I wonder if due to the increase in retail trading activity, stocks are becoming less and less tethered to fundamentals. Retail people buy stocks in companies they like, and that they see as the future, regardless of whether the pricing &quo

I don't follow this very closely, but hasn't Volkswagen already shown they're not that far behind, and aren't they already outselling Tesla in Europe? I've watched a lot of the ID4 reviews (since I'm in the US

Couldn't starlink do something like this theoretically? Seems like it checks several of the boxes.

That's all wonderful, but what does it have to do with taking an annual covid vaccine? Does contracting covid or the flu somehow make me more free? Based on my experience with fevers, the hallucinations can be fun, but overall I don&#x

Isn't the point of pro sports to find and admire those incredibly genetically-gifted people? I think trying to inject some kind of pure meritocratic framework into it fundamentally misunderstands the point of sports. To me in a way it&

My mom had a lot of trouble with this. The best route ended up being to stop and talk to the workers every time she saw a cable company truck. Eventually, she met the foreman for the team that wires up new housing developments. He was able

One simple thing governments are doing is reaching out to people with surveys and stuff, rather than relying only on the people who come to them. There are a lot more people who can spend 15 minutes filling out a survey on their phone than

I'm speaking (from experience) about working remotely for big tech companies, not working for local companies. Based on the levels.fyi reference, I assumed that's what the parent post was referring to.

IME if location is a factor, it's usually a different of 10-15%, so it's not like you're making $200k in SF and $80k in Ohio. More like 200k in SF and 180k in Ohio. YMMV of course.

This is interesting, because usually I see nationwide grids being touted as MORE resilient, not less. The idea is if power is knocked out in one area, you can still get it from elsewhere. This came up a lot during the Texas situation.

I think that's about right, and the "mess" isn't just code, but organizational. You might be hired to maintain some simple widget, and then 1–2 years later be writing a large scale job processing service, or designing a

To be clear, my comment wasn't meant as a criticism of the person I was replying to, just expanding the discussion of negatives from advertising. I think these ethical decisions are fairly hard to make, and it's hard to blame anyo

I think it's a fair question, but these are not great examples, IMO. COD skins and Roblox bucks can only be produced and sold by one company, so I don't see why you would need a decentralized protocol for them. CS:GO doesn't

I'm not sure why traditional advertising should get a pass here. Traditional advertising finds whatever fears and insecurities you have and exploits them to sell you stuff. If you're worried you're not manly enough, better bu

IMO these things are basically driven by speculation as well. From what I can tell, they mainly provide liquidity for financial institutions. Financial institutions are interested in crypto so that they can make money trading it. IMO there
