Not to be conspiratorial, but China has a vested interest in seeming as if they've beaten the virus both to their own people and the world abroad. Their lockdown clearly had a strong effect, but after its over the virus will spread aga

No need to go all the way to rural Maine. In NYC and SF, I've never had more than 2 options both of which are terrible and have the same faults and flaws. A 2 company oligopoly with high annoyance/cost of switching is not much bet

That the government is a poor spender and over pays is a joke of privatization? please elaborate because it seems to me that it is the joke of government purchasing: gov spends more than it takes in by people who are never in office long en

One thing I love about Spacex is just how more accessible they make space feel. Between the livestreams of launches, the car in space, this, etc. Good on Spacex

I'm often amazed at how competitive these jobs at top companies are to the point where very profitable niche businesses can build up for prep. I guess it really shouldn't be a surprise give the industry of standardized test prep,

No human could successfully beat stockfish on any consistent basis. Maybe the best players in the world would draw a few games with a rare victory, but its tactical depth is just too deep

+1 to steam for how easy it is to enable mods via steam. modding can be a little daunting to your average user but steam enables communication about a mod (via the comment section which is really helpful for communicating with mod owner), q

What's the operating margin? Of course a new company will have like 0 ads as it tries to capture market share and be cool. Once VC moneys runs out and they need to make money, believe me, you'll see ads.

Perhaps I may be very wrong, but the name of this network, "Friended", comes from a term that Facebook turned into common vernacular. "Friend me on Facebook" or "I friended you on Facebook". If you're star

From US News, its #6 in national rankings so its pretty good. But the way the economy is structured around knowledge work and with the effect of credential signalling, our society is convinced of the need to get into the best school possibl

I find it interesting that an admittedly not-that-smart (calls himself a moron regularly) fighter/comedian who just talks with all sorts of people is sufficiently divisive enough to merit such asterisks. Strange times.
