The article talks about 10 times the price. If that’s true the equivalent percent would be 1100%. So 1000% is a lower, rounded estimate; presumably 10X is also an estimate.

My wife was once a day light on her birth control. Nine months later, she delivered a boy. For most women of child bearing age, between birth control and annual visits, healthcare is pretty important.

As someone with a couple of open (not engineering) recs, I can agree this is the toughest market I’ve ever seen. For both recs, we received many highly qualified candidates with relevant skills, often in a relevant domain. I’ve never seen t

25-50% markup is rather small, given the convenience. In the US, 100% premium is not unheard of. And Costco may be half the price of the supermarket if you’re willing to buy bulk.

This is certainly true, but doesn't mean that they aren't hugely popular [1]. We (me with young children) used to call out "Driverless Car" whenever we'd see one, but it is less interesting when you may see 15 over

I (wrongly?!) assumed that Google had shut down Blogger years ago and that this was sarcasm, using Google’s history of killing services to highlight the folly of relying on a commercial service to still be around years or decades later. Poe

Many of my friends used to code, and either moved up the engineering ladder chain or moved to other more business-y roles. Only one went back to coding. Most of us are quite happy with our work (not sure how we look ).

Many in the thread have asked “why get off the drug?” Regeneron is pursuing its own version of a magic weight loss drug and is arguing that the current batch of GLP1 drugs reduce muscle mass, which is one of the most important things to mai

I was driving in the burbs yesterday and saw a giant skeleton… like 13’ tall and the skull being 2’ wide. I said to my friend “where do they store that stuff? I’m guessing their Christmas lawn stuff is just as extreme.” a lot of people love

Where do you live that you can take 20 car rides in a day? Dense suburb? I have a hard time (for myself, not doubting you) imagining that many things to do.

Most of the tech employees I know in SF could have shorter commutes with larger houses but choose to have smaller houses and longer commutes to live in the city rather than the suburbs. Why? Access to people in parks, cafes, bars, restauran

The irony is the vast groups of tech employees that choose to live in San Francisco and commute to the suburbs.

My read on the one reference to homelessness in the article was that a life-changing medication that can help with a disease like schizophrenia can prevent homelessness in the first place. I have a close family member that had a psychotic e

Anecdotally, I find if I go to Lyft, then go to Uber, and back to Lyft 30s later, I often get an updated decreased price.

I have a friend who got his first daughter a hearing test. The audiologist delayed the test twice until he finally gave up. His daughter was able to hear instructions like “go get your socks” but since she was two and not talking, they leap

It’s also quite possible that worse than average drivers prefer to drive and better than average drivers prefer to use FSD, which might decrease overall safety. This could be due to Dunning-Kruger, age based trust of new things, socioeconom

1% has existed for 40 years. More recently, they restructured as a nonprofit, somewhat similar to what Bose did (Bose profits go to MIT, Patagonia to environmental causes).

I’ve seen a Waymo stop and pick up a rider at Octavia and Linden. If you look at a map, you can see that it’s totally blocking all traffic. Double parking is legal (in some cases) in California, but this wouldn’t be allowed under any reason

The article talks about how Smelly got his name because of the drugs but has been clean and sober for a long time. It also mentions how instead of drugs, they do yoga and get massages. No mention of their current sex life.
