What's the advantage of a processor that costs less than a penny? I would think that the connectors, battery, I/O, etc. would cost at least 10-25 cents for pretty much anything you can think of. So not sure how much you gain from

I did the same, persevered, and threw away 11 years on a company I should have thrown in the rubbish after 1. The only thing that saved my career afterwards was family nepotism. It's often investors who push the "never give up&quo

I don't know, I think that people with red cars and people with white cars might have different loan repayment behaviors and I think the model should be allowed to try to figure out.

The vast majority of the people in crypto are "Kwon Artists," looking to book some gainz from whatever bagholder they can find. I feel bad for the normie grandparents who saw something on CNBC and bought in, but not for the crypto

LOL this is very highly dependent on where you are. The values around "showiness" that you describe are largely New England and Upper Midwest. Go to Miami or Dallas or Los Angeles and the situation is 180 degrees opposite, with pe

Not sure how a technologist could think that USB-C is the best that we could do. It could be smaller, easier to attach in the dark, easier to attach with one hand, etc. etc. The government is not good at technology. They should step out of

Sure, treat having children as the norm, I have kids, I love it. But I expect to be leapfrogged in my career by people who passed on a family and chose the career grinding lifestyle, and that's in fact what happened. But I'm not g

It’s not the norm but these basic quality fails happen much more with Teslas than with any other car. They invented a much better powertrain but are still catching up on figuring out how to build the rest of the car.

If you take N years off from a career, you should expect ahead of time to become a less compelling candidate to hire for highly skilled work. 1) your skills are assumed rustier and 2) you have fewer years left in your career so you have les

Well maybe it’s because renting an electric car for a road trip is stupid? Everyone knows that road trips are the worst scenario for electric cars. I do road trips maybe once every 5 years so am fine going all-electric and renting a gas car

Yes but you can’t just let white supremacists claim everything that they use. It’s like saying a football player who chooses the number 88 is associating with white supremacy.

What I find telling about all of the critiques of CEO pay, billionaire taxation, etc. is that there is almost no discussion of how to get maximum impact for the monies taxed. People don't want to tax Jeff Bezos because they have really
