When traveling with a family, we have 4 suitcases. No bathroom we have encountered has that much space. Why don’t hotels just start building purpose built tiled areas to store suitcases etc? If I put suitcase in a plastic bag that should he

It’s interesting that Apple split out music from iTunes, and has somewhat walled apps for music, podcasts, audiobooks while Spotify consolidated

For accounts I really care about, I use my own domain. Granted it costs money, and is temporary only as long as I pay, but the “ownership” is a bit better defined by law from what I understand than most email accounts.

I assume PP means they are staying out of leveraged bets and risky individual stocks. Generally the saw it coming crowd is just sticking it in diversified index and bond funds and doing other things.

I feel like it’s nail in coffin was Temu and the like. That sapped a lot of the high margin cheap products, and probably a lot of the costumes for Halloween

I feel that crypto offers a different risk profile than say the gold ETF. There certainly is significant risk and expense to storing and securing the physical gold backing the ETF. I think it also needed to be audited as matching expected

It does feel like the security protocols necessary to secure $100k to $Ms of crypto which transfers instantly and non-reversibly is a challenge for the average user. Even as a fairly tech enabled GenX, I have forgotten passwords and had to

How do they identify their marks? A random firefighter seems like an odd target.

Honda is at its core an engine company, so the likely transition to EV has been a looming problem. I wonder if a carbon neutral synthetic fuel would help keep them in the running (since liquid fuel still has a better energy density than ba

I mean those weren’t the exact words. They were very gracious, but it was clear we had goofed and intruded.

We had a similar issue. We ended up at a funeral for our daughter’s teacher (we brought the kids as she knew all of them), and somehow ended up in the family greeting line intended for close friends and family. It felt so intrusive and they

Really depends on quality of chocolate. Trader Joe’s 85% is okay but a German bar from Lidl at 85% is amazing. I find in all cases, mixing dark chocolate with peanut butter even without additional sugar evokes a memory of my lifetime enjoym

But the active electricity and chemical processes that denote life are more than just the absolute distribution and position of atoms; can you replicate the velocity of every electron, etc?

They recommend getting immunoglobulin within 24 hours. Waiting 5 days seems to add risk the vaccine won’t be effective?

You can definitely get the rabies vaccine especially if traveling on what not. May not be covered by insurance. What they do limit is the immunoglobulin shot — that is very hard to manufacture (I think it’s developed from horses antibodies

With the intensive energy and compute requirements, does $20 yield a profit for openAI, even cover the costs of an active user? How much would you be willing to pay for this service as it is now? Asking ChatGPT it seems to be about $0.10 a

I have developed ethical qualms about AGI. We end up either enslaving an intelligence, breeding it into submission, or end up with a powerful adversary.

But users never really saw Synapse. They saw Yotta, which was a YC backed fintech working with Evolve, a real FDIC bank. I really don’t understand what purpose any of these companies had for savings accounts — why not just bank at Evolve??

I seem to remember a story that there was a lot of “defensive hiring” — you would hire a lot of technical people to keep them from starting or joining a disruptive startup. This would be a corollary of your higher interest rates pushing do

No, they do not need long term profits to sustain, at least in certain regimes.

One other benefit would be for the confirmation images that drivers take of a delivery. Rather than schlepping out a phone, they just tap their glasses as they put a package down. Much less hassle and I think would shave time.

Have the demographics of typical Tesla driver changed in last 5-10 years? I think it was at first wealthy environmentalists, but it shifted to be a new Yuppie mobile, and most recently probably skews to a young male crowd?
