Canada: January 2026(!) Novo lawyers messed up, didn't renew the patent filing over a payment dispute. Hilarity is ensuing. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/hims-hers-generic-semaglutid... And once generi

Perfect for a real life DDOS. Want empty parking at a Dodger game? Use the ICE app. Also a great honeypot to query out all the users of this app and schedule them for a visit.

While my Target puts Legos behind plexiglas. While my Safeway puts deodorant behind plexiglas. Statistics are amazing. Even crime stats are "down". Don't report, don't convict - done.

Always a great opportunity to post my favorite passage of him about WWI- just hauntingly beautiful: “See that little stream — we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly

Hard challenge, as pain is a subjective definition and you can't intellectually comprehend it until you're in it. I got the scale 10 questions before I had a badly herniated disc and never knew what to say. Now I can tell you that

Ah, another tech solution to a social cold start problem. LinkedIn's value is that everyone is on it. Even super secretive Apple employees - Apple couldn't force them to delete their stuff. Talk about a powerful network effect. Ju

I have Jewish friends here in the US that refuse to ever buy any German car. Volkswagen was founded by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront in 1937, the organized labor organization of the NSDAP. Literal Nazis. Don't google any other car makers.

At least Tesla is competitive. European carmakers? The core of German industry? Stellantis? Anyone? Same for the Koreans and Japanese. Nothing. I get the en vogue Tesla hate, Wrestling keyfabe is fun. China going after the "industry of

I love how Cyberpunk is becoming real. Black ICE, netrunners and rogue AIs will soon be added to the mix. Off to re-read Neuromancer, so far ahead of its time.

Man, I hope they break out Google Business apps. The artificial price point for GMail, GDocs, GMeet has killed so much competition. Try pricing something against this insane dumping price Google sets - there is no TAM, the M does not paybac

Yes, of course. Same with herniated discs - you need to keep walking, no matter the pain. If you stop moving, you die. A ton of biomechanics at play, but walking is the baseline of all human activity. Not running, not swimming. It's wh

Consumers vote with their wallets that they prefer the big box stores. Reagan removed bargaining restrictions on big box stores, which lowered prices. Bad or good for consumers? Does it matter if you need to drive 8 or 11 miles (non-desert

In the video doc they talk about the failure to execute on Episode 3 or even a Half Life 3. Has a weird tone to it, the whole thing ends on a depressing note. As Gabe says, they didn't fulfill their obligation towards their customer an
