Also worth considering is that anything after 2018 likely has intelligent crash prevention features. In addition to modern cars being much safer in a crash, the benefits of avoiding collisions altogether have to be worth it. I’ve been drivi

It feels like Hey is trying to solve a bunch of problems already solved by other email services. If anything, the problem with gmail and the like is they try to be too smart and end up getting it wrong. It feels unreliable when an important

This is awesome, I just wish they were worse at enforcing some other prohibitions. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a real kinder egg (not the kinder joy bullshit) for a while now. I thought the kinder joy and a wonder ball would be enou

Its really not, only Linux makes it that way. If its done right (as it is on mac, and to a _very_ slightly lesser extent, Windows) there isn't 'blurriness' at all. One monitor will just happen to be sharper than the other. I

It doesn't need to be extreme, taxes are proven to be effective and are quite simple. They solve the problem of unhealthy food being too easily available by raising the price to reflect the true cost to society (the externalities, like

I very strongly agree with this sentiment. I was thinking more along the lines of a google sheet where you can check off what you want delivered. No need to complicate things.

This is wonderful, and with the advent of the internet/easy telecommunication, it would be great to be able to order additional things as part of the delivery. I'm particularly interested in the reduction of packaging waste that t

this argument always comes up and its complete and utter bullshit. Please think about what you say for more than a half second before you say it. Police are not that effective, society does not completely collapse in their absence, and ther

Are the solutions attainable? AFAICT most of the violence is coming from the police, and they are emboldened by the complete lack of consequences for use of force. I think you could argue that the cause of violence is the massive imbalance

Notifications only seem to work if WhatsApp is actively running, unlike every other app on the iPhone. I checked again, and yup, a bunch of messages in a group chat I never was notified for. That behavior is fine if it’s your primary app, b

Yes, Apple gives 5+ years. My iPhone 6s from 2015 is on latest iOS and still fast with a new battery. Pixel might count, but they don’t guarantee more than 2 years of Android updates. The built-in processors are years behind what Apple prov

Can you name a single android phone that is superior in performance with last year’s iPhone? Can you name an android phone that will be stable and up-to-date 5 years after it was released?

WhatsApp sucks. Message delivery/notifications are unreliable, the interface is hideous, it lacks the Tapback/reaction feature which is heavily used in iMessage, and it dumps pics from group chats into your photo library automatic

Yeah, there’s lots of bad on both sides. Here in the US we have crimes like Driving While Black. There was just a high profile execution the other day that made headlines, but most fly under the radar. We also just killed 100,000 people, mi

The internment camps are still in living memory fwiw. I don’t know if it’s whataboutism so much as recognizing that China is back to business and the US really isn’t, China published the genetic sequence and made substantial contributions t

It’s so exhausting having to live through this ridiculous propaganda war. Everyone seems to suck here, but there’s so much finger pointing. The people on the US side of the isle seem to be especially frantic now that it’s abundantly clear t

It’s sorely needed at this point, it’s clearly a standard UI control now and countless developer hours have been wasted on it. I’ve got several apps on my phone (maps, DoorDash, google maps, etc) all doing the same thing, but inconsistently

Americans worked overtime post-9/11 to make sure the terrorists won. We made sure to become so afraid, so terrified in daily life that we were willing to give up our freedoms. See the patriot act, TSA, DHS, and other nonsense. The terr

I'm thinking about how Trump is running for re-election after impeachment - afaict that's somewhat novel. Nixon as you mentioned resigned under threat of impeachment. I think maybe the bar for conviction in the Senate is too high

Something I find fascinating in this discussion is how November affects things. If Trump is re-elected, any hope of repairing institutions is realistically lost. If he isn’t, there’s a real possibility of funny business, either contesting t

It’s bundled with office, so for enterprise customers (where the $$$ is), Lists is free whereas AirTable is not. Even with any pricing adjustments, I find it very unlikely office customers would save going with AirTable. Maybe they have a m

Competitive doesn't have to mean faster. It just needs to be available and passable. 4G is pretty close in some markets, but with wide deployment of 5G mmWave, there might be just enough competition with the local cable monopoly to pus

We don’t know about data plans because 5G hasn’t been widely deployed yet. The same could be said for 3G->4G transition, but then we started seeing caps move from 500MB to 10+GB. Line of sight connections are great in crowded cities. Lar
