Not an expert. My layman understanding is that we are at the center of the observable universe. There are no sections of the sky that are older than others. I think what the deep field image shows is that, no matter where we look we are sur

Even if there are no 3rd party sellers currently, it's possible they were active before and the current stock is still commingled. The only thing I use Amazon these days is for white-labeled Chinese goods. For everything else I prefer

My 2 cents, it will good to have an objective way to evaluate such badges. I think the biggest problem with labdoor was that their grading criteria was not transparent.

Awesome initiative! Consumer research is a neglected space but has immense potential. A lot hard work I presume. All the best. One question, why do companies get a badge of approval with undisclosed sources? As a consumer, I would be really

I think people in the US do not value the first amendment enough. In my country, I can go to jail for sharing the wrong post on whatsapp or liking the wrong image on facebook. Freedom of speech is a great leveler of society tilting the bala

How do you manage memory on the backend? If you have single spreadsheets taking up GBs it can add up pretty fast. What are your thoughts on scaling this as the business grows?

Unfortunately there's not much that can be done with the situation. An entity that pays well can get away with insolence. No matter how poorly they treat their employees, there will always be a long list of people willing to put up wit

Damn, that's the name of the startup? I was searching around for my pitchfork. > The pitch of the audio in this video has been slightly altered by Motherboard to protect a source. How does this work? Do they sort of broadcast some u

It is scary because the gut microbiome in humans is evolving much faster in recent times. This is coming from a study that maps evolution of gut microbiome in primates to the primate evolutionary tree. They found that families of gut bacter

I have never understood the attraction of tropical places. It's hot, humid and you get sand everywhere. What kind of a relaxing vacation is that?

I think there is another factor to this. Hollywood has fallen off a cliff of late. In my subjective opinion, this started around the mid 2000's and the last decade has been the worst decade for movies in at least 50 years. Look at any

I think you should read the article. The title is exactly what it outlines. The article is basically a report of what various public health researchers are speaking on the issue. These people actually study the consequences of abortion rest

All these self proclaimed fintech startups are nothing more than modern day loan sharks. They all follow the same modus-operandi. 1. Acquire VC funding 2. Pump funding into aggressive discounts and cashbacks to entice credit-weak people to

So this is what they are spending all their funding on (not this graphic, but the postman platform). Postman was a fantastic product that did one job really well that provided tremendous value on a day to day basis. It would've still b

You can't expect more from a venture that pumps money into marketing or "growth" in order to sell loans. There are many dozens of these floating around today flush with VC money that spilling out of late. I think history will

I wonder why only the US. If they believe pay transparency is the right way forward, they should do it globally. Surely there's no legal hurdles in posting pay ranges for any country.
