It would be interesting if they could work with Cloudflare, AWS, big small business web hosting providers, etc. and other people in line in processing the click to make special casing the clicktracking URL easy.

I wonder if they would be better off pricing it at parity, at a premium to beef, or lower? I initially thought “heavily subsidize it, maybe put a huge one on the $1 menu...), but making it a premium option along with their “specialty” burg

Climate engineering seems like a better bet than massive political/economic change across the entire world in advance of clear harm. It is relatively easy (but still difficult in an absolute sense) to get support in sufficiently rich c

For me it depends greatly on the department/agency. If I am around Palo Alto or Mountain View or Bellevue or Redmond or WA State Patrol or CHP, I feel safer (unless they are there due to some specific situation, in which case my goal

I thought the original deal included a ban on being a public company officer/director, and the new one was restricted to Tesla. Matters for SpaceX, which might go public, and which I hope he cares a lot more about than a car company.

She is probably the #1 person (in both volume and quality) talking about the Hajnal line over the past 5-10 years, and is how I originally heard about it, so it's not really irrelevant or political. It is a tangent, I guess.

On crimes I disagree, because committing violent crimes and being caught for them tend to be fairly correlated; crime is rarely a one-time thing, and criminals get unlucky or are stupid too. As for elites -> more children, since there we

I think she is tangential to some completely unobjectionable stuff as well as some (to me) objectionable stuff. The things she talks about the most which I find interesting are the internal-to-Europe differences in family patterns (family

It is of course entirely possible that coal/lead/nuclear/etc. provide way more benefit than the harm, too.

If a VW lawyer contacts them to change the name, the obvious reply is “we will happily rename to hitlercar.”

I think this should be released without any form of government or popular consent (i.e. don't even ask them); JFDI. We do so many worse things on a regular basis with more concrete known negatives for far lower benefits.

I can think of some specialty environments where batteries fail (due to environmental, temperature, acceleration, etc.) but where energy-transfer would be good. I can separately think of times when RF/induction/etc. wouldn't

I think from a physics perspective this never made sense for power for devices like laptops/phones, but might have developed expertise for communications or for sensors or other very low power devices. But maybe they never did that.

Missing deadlines by a year or two on something otherwise believed to be impossible is a great way to consistently “fail”, I think.

Less buggy than iOS 10 or iOS 11 releases on launch day, at least for me on a range of different devices.

I wish there could be a transition period of, say, 3 product cycles on the phones where they had BOTH lightning and USB-C ports. It would be a little ugly and take up space (presumably side by side), but would make the transition a lot less

There of course isn't one global homosexual community, but SF public health and other targeted information is what I see the most of. It may be biased just because it's pretty well funded and relatively well executed, but as someo

AIDS/HIV seems largely containable through PReP. I don’t know if long term pervasive but not universal use of PReP by those at risk would eventually lead to resistance to the medications used, though. Malaria probably can be eliminated

It's inverse square -- think of it as the surface area of the sphere a specific distance from the source at any given instant. Not the volume of the space between the frontier and the source.

Were those crimes all one incident? If not I would seriously have considered moving.
