The larger your footprint in the cloud is, the larger incentive you have to make it more efficient though. I think it’s a somewhat self-correcting problem. The biggest players are running highly, highly efficient software.

Metal is much more expensive as an upfront cost. It may pay off in the long term but most homeowners don't think in a 50 year time horizon.

Modern industrial farming "wastes" tons of energy to get their desired outputs. It's possible that the machines were advanced at some things but something that human bodies produced was something they couldn't directly s

I'm pretty confident the bribe money was under scrutiny the entire time (see campaign finance charges), and his bail was revoked for unrelated reasons.

Wait until you hear about what happens when it's the driver who is drunk and not the pedestrian. Autonomous cars can be far from perfect and still safer than human drivers, who all consistently overestimate how safe they are.

The fact that any business is sustainable at this price point is not a relevant point, it might have been a bad choice for them too. What you are offering is also a lot more complicated. Not to mention it’s in the vertical of blogging which

Given the amount of customer service per user, feature support, technical support and dev-ops that will be required to run this, I doubt there is any way this business could be sustainable at $29/year/user. Not to mention how you’

By this logic Twitter should also be growing, as it’s even better than threads in terms of content. Yet not only is Twitter not growing but it’s shrinking. I think your expectations for success in this vertical are off.

It’s more of a hybrid exercise but “pause squats”, in which you hold the weight at the bottom position before coming back up are a very good variation of a standard squat.

Dr. Stuart McGill (PHD, written multiple books about back health), strongly promotes isometric exercises for back health. However at the end of the day stability only gets you so far, since we are always moving, so it really makes sense to

There have been numerous studies showing that omicron severity is very likely equivalent to prior strains. The decrease in serious illness is due to prior immunity and vaccination. Though it’s obviously a hard thing to prove either way. But

Also I’d assume the people who physically install rooftop solar are different than the people doing utility scale projects. We should be doing both!

It is against medical ethics for the placebo not to be the current standard of care, and experimentally it must be… If you can’t beat the current standard of care then your drug isn’t effective.

I don’t work at Google and don’t use ad blockers because I want the sites I visit to get paid. Anyways, all things being equal, I’d prefer more relevant ads.

I remember when "silicon valley" came out, and after watching a few episodes I thought it was so stupid and unrealistic... This isn't how startups operated. Then I talked with other people in the startup world who said it was

So you do have a mysticism about what it is like to go to Harvard. Regardless of how selective they are with admissions it also doesn't mean that a large chunk of the people they rejected wouldn't have also done fine there. Arguab

Your cut off makes no sense, because Harvard is about potential. If we had a perfect, balanced, equitable test for academic potential than of course we'd use it, but we don't. So you can't just use the distributions about exi

You don't believe there are 300 multi-generation American black students per year that wouldn't be utterly out of place at Harvard? Don't throw out numbers like that unless you are willing to back them up, because your claim

There are an infinite number of URLs on the internet, Google obviously cannot crawl and index them all. They choose what to crawl and index based on mainly site reputation and inbound links, just like they used to 20 years ago. If they aren

You don't need to take their comment seriously... After all they didn't make the counterargument and therefore it's a overly biased point and thus not useful in any way.

Your argument is that an immigrant would rather be homeless in the US than housed in their home country? Almost no data backs that up.

Every possible change to a car’s safety system will cause some deaths and save others… look at airbags. The aggregate stats are the most important things to look at, especially for something like AEB which has the ability to save pedestrian

Yes everybody here seems to be ignoring that car accidents are the leading cause of deaths for children and young adults… car safety is not a solved problem!
