The issue is, often when you’re driving to places to ski you’re also going massively uphill. So you have the combination of cold + uphill driving which really takes a hit on the range. I can’t say I haven’t felt range anxiety in those situa

Yep there's certainly been a surge. I've been contacted by a handful of Amazon recruiters in the last few weeks.

Censorship is inherently dangerous because it can be weaponized to silence dissenting minorities.

In the early 2000s, there was a massive DEA bust involving a decomissioned missile silo turned into an LSD lab (which was apparently responsible for manufacturing 90% of the LSD on the market at the time). Other levels of the facility were

Somehow I can almost guarantee the M-series will outperform this in real-world usage.

OCaml is fascinating - it was my first exposure to functional programming through a great class at Harvard. We had a guest lecture from someone at Jane Street that was quite memorable. Although these days I'm uncertain of any large ins

This is incredibly cringeworthy - for a company CEO to brag about employees working through Christmas. Just wow.

There are quite a few unique applications for geospatial data (imagery especially) that can return quite a high ROI to the right parties.

Believe it or not, there are places in the world where FB products (WhatsApp specifically) are used as the primary communication platform for most people.

We need to be building units like this for the homeless, in lots with services/resources. The faster we can meet offer everyone a “bed”, the faster we can legally ban urban camping. Encampments are growing out of control in SF, LA, et

$15/hour is not a living wage in the US. That is absolutely ridiculous. Amazon should double it for their warehouse workers (they certainly can afford to!).

Teslas also start at about half that (closer to $40K), and are effectively the new Toyota Prius in terms of popularity (in California, at least). I don't consider them luxury vehicles by any means, especially after sitting in a Lucid A

Is there any chance you were exposed to COVID at any point? I know there’s an association between COVID-19 and clotting events (even for otherwise asymptomatic individuals)!

Google is certainly not investing in research in this space for "wellness and accessibility", they're doing it for the sake of gaze tracking for ads. Google is an advertising company, first and foremost.

This is spot on. Advertising companies like Facebook, self-optimize for one thing only: user engagement/impressions.

Or, as often said on WSB (like the numerous times people have accidentally discovered "infinite leverage" glitches), "Just delete the app!". Seriously, people have done that - and Robinhood is too incompetent to follow u

I don't think it's just a simple stunt. Apparently, the onboard computer on the latest Teslas is capable of mining BTC profitably at the current prices (allegedly). It would be amusing to have cars mine when idle/plugged in,

A well-known fact in the industry is that most hedge funds (including shorts) don't actually know what they're doing, and rely on selling narratives so they can gamble with other people's money. The overwhelming majority can&

As a regular myself, I was inspired to "Yolo" money into OTM GME calls after I saw Andrew Left (of Citron Research) post a video. Citron has been burned shorting Shopify, Nvidia, Tesla, and much much more. Needless to say it worke

The collective power of massive retail options trading (powered by zero-commission brokers like RH) organized by groups such as WSB actually has the power to affect the markets. I'm guilty of taking advantage of this myself, as there a

This is deeply concerning, as I see a future where Apple has a monopoly on personal computing devices. It's not unfeasible that Apple's custom chips will surpass Nvidia in GPU performance as well in a few years.
