Oooh.. this sounds like a great computer science problem. "How to get an objective rating in the presence of adversaries" It is probably extensible to generic reviews as well... so things like the Amazon scam. But in contrast to

Doubtful. Electric autos will decrease demand for ethanol. The Govt will increase subsidizes as well to provide price stability.

That's not enough to move the needle. I think we are seeing "inflation" due to short term supply chain stop and restart. As incomes are still fixed and there are cheaper substitutes for almost everything you want to eat peopl

Photos existing in the giant photos thing is just a mess. I hate it. I have to export them to do anything. I am not sure they even back up correctly. And this is photos.

How performant is chromeos? I'm thinking of getting one as it is basically linux.

I think marine biology is a thing because it is generally introduced in middle school science class. Providing jobs and even providing for your family is very noble.

It's probably a function of average parking spot size.

>I also suspect the feeling of mass in driving a larger vehicle makes you take driving more seriously. I think it's the opposite. Also larger vehicles feel slower when you drive them even when you are doing 80.

I think it’s also true about the most upvoted comments. Any article you read on any forum the top comments always seem to be mistaken.

I'll buy one.. it's a little more expensive than I'd like but I'm tired of gasoline and the fumes.

There are millions of F150s. If you get into an accident what is the probability it is with an F150? Or an SUV or something bigger that requires a commercial driving license. We also know that speed kills and people are driving faster tod

Tires are an issue but diesels engine trucks and semis are audible. Also some times regular gas customers have modified exhausts. Tire noise is higher frequency though.

A lot of knowledge on the internet is just wrong. Also a lot of scientific progress is driven by folks persisting against the current dogma. So that seems like a big problem. I imagine this is true for almost any subject where there is tr

Makes sense. I want insights and context. If Google can do that synthesis that’s great. I do wonder about the training data and data quality though. When I do these targeted searches you have to filter the spam... books are somewhat be

Great idea. I've seen similar products e.g. gumroad but this really turns it up to 11.

You've got a niche product so maybe find an influencer? One of the top rock climbing folks? I would also send a bunch of free trial stuff to the local rock climbing gyms maybe with an ad campaign. Searching Amazon also seems to show

You probably can identify someone without an account these days. So for some applications you really only need one of you want to post and even then I bet you can get away without one.

They don’t mislead customers saying that they are the IRS. I view my CPA as a domain expert anyway so while I could do my own taxes and have done so in the past.. but I agree the IRS already basically knows everything.

It's worth having it in a central place especially with respect to tools needed to meet academic objectives.
