Within metro areas? I agree. Go outside a bit? Cars are mighty convenient.

We live in a society that operates under a set of laws, including entrusting public officials and experts to make decisions on our behalf. Not all the laws are going to be popular. I'm sure not everybody is thrilled about schools requ

I think there are pros/cons of car culture and systems in both countries. Japan's car-ownership experience is rather hostile. Expensive tolls, Shaken inspection, and higher price tags than SK. In a way, this benefits tourists be

That's part of it, but it's concentrated around certain sectors (technology and startups) There is x5 ~ x10 premium being put on these companies compared to others. Valuations in other sectors are still somewhat reasonable.

lol typical Cornell alumni response. We don't mention school name... instead, we'll say, "I went to school upstate". I guess it dates back a few years. https://ithacavoice.com/2017/11/introduci

I tend to agree that most people wouldn't care about Google's cut. The only way to bring the fee down is to create more 'stores' where developers can sell their apps. Then the margin will completely collapse from 30% t

By law you have to take 30minute break after 8 hours. And you cannot drive more than 14 hours per day. Iirc Tesla semi can get 400mi from 30 minute. If they can up that figure to 600, then fuel cells range and competitive advantages dimini

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is more or less back to working at office. I love flexibility of working from home, but I also wonder if this will soon hit an inflection point towards gradual decline.

It says the husband is in his mid 40s. Wife could be older. Part of it is because of the way they're dressed and hair. Part of it, the sun.

Probably one of the better companies to acquire controlling stake in BD because several of their own companies would directly benefit from robotics.

Since they got a guilty plea out of him, I'm guessing they had strong enough proof to discourage him from going to trial where he could've risked up to 25 years in jail time if jury found the evidence credible. If he had just stuc

Corporate America is spending big bucks on various mental (and physical ) wellness programs. I wonder know if it is a fad or if companies are seeing results. Or they are just trying to keep up with the Jones.

In spirit, I agree with you. I should be able to choose. My concern is, would average folks know about the trade-offs at the time of purchase?

Can you be specific about what aspects of the work, people, and culture you hate? I've been in the industry for 20 years and certainly, I feel developers have lost autonomy and things are much more more costly and slower to build than

CEOs play important roles, but I agree they are very much overpaid. It's inefficiency in the specialized labor market being exploited by a small group of people. Equity based compensation is a big factor. They shouldn't be rewa

Opt-out has been becoming more common throughout the world. Some countries only offer conditional opt-out. In the U.S. 33% of organ donation come from motor vehicle accident. Reduced driving due to Covid put a dent on organ donation. Lon

Isn't gambler's fallacy more about expectation of future result skewing based on past outcome? If there's a very dangerous airplane ride that results in 10% of all flights ending in crash, if you take that plane 10 times, wou

Actually the 1 in 10 million figure I used is based on number of fatal crash per flight. I thought it was roughly 1 in 10 million flights ending in fatal crash, but that was couple years ago. It's actually more like 1 in 3.7 million

I love these type of prediction articles from the past. I loved the specificity, depth, and unbridled optimism of the article. Though most of it was wrong in terms of timing, this was bang on: "Around 2010, Intel builds a chip with a
