There is another alternative that is getting more popular in the US, which are Olipop sodas. They are sweetened with stevia and have only 2-5g of sugar, plus a lot of added fiber. As someone who very rarely drinks soda of any kind, I find t

The other one that smells horrible are female gingko trees. The fruits smell like rancid butter or garbage. These days you can really only buy the male ones but older plantings are awful. https://www.purdue.edu/fnr/exte

Zoom was a successful enterprise business pre-pandemic, but it was unequivocally the lockdowns that accelerated their growth and valuation. In one year they went from 10 million monthly meeting participants to over 350 million ( https:&#x2F

If I recall correctly, they didn't start bundling it with Office via force installations with no uninstall until mid 2019?

A less grandiose version of this aphorism: timing the market matters just as much as what product you ship. People tend to focus on product attributes and pricing because compared to timing, it is more in your control. An example of this th

This will be great for customers. Figma is going to have to innovate and compete more to justify their valuation in an IPO, like they have been doing with previous work on Figjam (competing with whiteboard tools like Miro, etc.) and dev mod

More recently, this exact effect caused the spread of invasive feral hogs in the United States. States allowed unlimited hunting of feral hogs, which generated companies doing guided hunts, and then... "hog hunting became so popular th

We don't need a $1,200 Chinese electric deathtrap to accelerate EV buying, we need a better charging network. Range anxiety and reliability are the factors that have put EV purchases in a slump (not to mention interest rates). The arti

Yeah if what you want is espresso, then a pour over setup is not going to make what you want. Technically a Moka doesn't make espresso either though. The pressure is not the same.

The biggest knock against the Moka is that a simple pour over filter is far easier to use, clean, and maintain while also making dramatically better coffee. When it comes to both style and function, it's hard to beat a Chemex. Ubiquito

You’re making an argument of false equivalency. Anyone who has used Siri can tell you that its listening capabilities are vastly overstated. There is a reason they make smart speakers and don’t just leverage your phone, despite the fact tha

I’d suggest making a demo video for your landing page. The concepts make sense, but to grok how they can be used, some demos (perhaps with SEO landing pages like “Nino for project management” or “Nino for documentation”) would be helpful.

That article is technically true but misleading. Most of Manhattan eliminated parking minimums back in 1982. Seattle eliminated or reduced minimums anywhere close to transit (which is a huge part of the city obviously) back in 2012. The ent

This isn't really a new trend, Texas is just a laggard because it is an unusually car-dependent state. Most major cities have been trending toward eliminating parking minimums, at least in downtown cores. Here's a map from 2015:

No, actually we should be trying to fix the stupid mistakes that were made in implementation of the plan, not roll it back and keep on fighting an equally moronic, ineffective, and racist War on Drugs elsewhere. The best available evidence

This is an incredibly weird comparison. Chimps are wild animals. Dogs are fully domesticated animals. Almost half of households in the US have a dog. If packs of wild dogs roamed around occasionally eviscerating children you can bet people

That series is really good, but chimps can be incredibly dangerous when in close proximity to humans. In rural Africa, there have been numerous reports of conflicts with wild chimps, including them abducting and killing children. https:&#x

This is not correct at all. The sourcing policy says: “If available, academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources on topics such as history, medicine, and science.”
