I understand it sucks to stop at a stop light on an analog bike, but why on an ebike? You get help starting up again, like an escooter.

I think if a YouTube creator is getting four hours of attention per month from millions of viewers (like a popular weekly TV show), they are probably getting pretty good revenue. I don’t think creators who earn less are getting ripped off,

Aren’t TV ratings based on how many people watched each episode, during its initial airing? And the same episode is sold in multiple venues, like DVDs and paid streaming. To apples-to-apples compare traditional TV production budgets to the

Why not? If they take 25% of a few thousand per year, that’s hundreds of dollars of annual revenue per customer - great if they can do it mostly through software.

I don’t blame you, we all have a lot of things to deal with. I wouldn’t worry about ending up in debt from it if you are a tech worker with a significant financial cushion. I wonder if there’s an opportunity here for a “free travel consult

Are you aware you can also make ~$1k just for signing up for a new credit card and using it for a few months? As long as you live within your means and spend responsibly you can get some money back from the banks by playing their games and

Recent state legislation in California has legalized backyard cottages in many places they used to be illegal, including some places where the housing crisis is worst. I know a homeowner who is making use of that new law to build a backyard

I don’t know the nature of your problems of course, but I found the antidepressant didn’t just make me feel better about things - it also made me better at actually solving my problems. It fixed my social anxiety and made me better at talki

Have you ever considered whether you suffer from depression and/or anxiety? I was in a similar place after my ADHD diagnosis. Ritalin helped my career greatly, but I was still unsatisfied with life in many ways. After I started taking

Suppose there are only two competitors and the barrier to entry for a third is high. You profit $287.47 per unit with partial market share. If you try to charge $200 so you only make $187.47 per unit, your competitor will also lower the pr

I sometimes wonder about the validity of comparison with the placebo. What if the drug being studied makes the patients feel something, but doesn’t directly help the condition being studied. But that something feeling alerts the patients

I’d say it’s pretty relevant. The ad-funded tech giants are valued based on continued exponential revenue growth. This can be accomplished by a combination of growth in user count and average revenue per user (ARPU). Both of these factors a

Has anyone had success with an H1B visa transfer in the past few months? If so, I’d be very interested to hear and it would add more to the discussion than a downvote.

Word on the street from hiring managers is that it now takes > 6 mo to process such a visa transfer and you can’t get premium processing to speed it up. People are making offers to candidates with undefined start dates many months in the
