It's very analogous to drug use. The libertarian point of view that people should be free to do what they want with their own bodies makes sense at first blush. But addiction is such an absolute blight on society that ending it will on

This seems crazy. It's a truly innovative company and all but they don't have revenue to justify this nor a moat given how many plausible competitors sprung up so quickly. Elon Musk just reached into his own pocket and made Grok a

It's impressive hardware and some nifty demos, but I'm holding fast with AR just being a deadend. No matter how many pixels you can jam into these things, there just isn't a compelling case for using them. Nothing that isn&#x

Why? Is there an advantage to using your own ONT? Is it just a personal freedom thing or are there features you can unlock?

Isn't this not a coincidence at all? The research lab was put there because it was known hot spot for wild coronavirus strains.

Yeah, I think a a better headline is the section header about "No More Red Carpet". Tech jobs are down from 2020? The tech job market in 2020 was unsustainable smoking hot like nothing I've ever seen. I remember the 2000 bubb

I'm reminded of the Oregon state health care exchange fiasco where Oracle took like $250M and never delivered a working product. Ended up in a lawsuit and a settlement.

B&H?!?! The giant store in Manhattan famously run by Orthodox Jews? If that's confirmed it's going to be protested into dust pretty soon. EDIT: I see an addenda to the article that B&H are denying any involvement. We'

Honestly do not get this perception at all. Have you ever live through an actual recession? Did it feel like this at all? I see some significant secular changes. Some industries are just changing and leaving some people in the cold and they

Unrate is an indicator more than anything else. The BLS has detailed data on dozens of dimensions including rates of underemployment. Unrate is convenient because it's apples to apples.

Recovery from what? A moderate slowdown? The general unemployment rate is 4.2% and it's always lower for tech.

Doesn't Amazon also have offices all over the world plus remote consultants and contractors? My last year of pre-pandemic work (not Amazon) I spent working from NYC for a client in the Midwest, with developers in South America and an a

All things being equal having clean waterways is better than hsn dirty ones but this doesn't really seem like a priority. Plenty of cities just don't have the climate or geography to make this possible and plenty of people can&#x2

OTC hearing aids are now as cheap as $80 USD. I'm sure they're not the best, but it makes the tech incredibly accessible. Sony, Jabra, Eargo ones are more expensive than airpods, less than prescriptions. Not sure how they will sta

It seems like it's software to conduct a hearing evaluation to tune the airpods. There's actually loads of OTC hearing aids on the market already although most seem fairly pricey.

Boeing hasn't completely failed. Their ship actually worked just not with enough confidence to put people in it. That doesn't mean they're out of the game. There's still Blue Origin and also a bunch of smaller competitor

NYT is by far the biggest success story in digital news. They are still building their subscriber base by making themselves a full-on lifestyle brand. Aside from being the preeminent newspaper in probably the whole world, they are driving a

I'm just googling about this as we speak, but apparently the FDA approved OTC hearing aids last year and there are already many models available at retail from name brands like Sony and Jabra. Apple is definitely going to make a splash

Idk, I loved BitBucket and I loved Mercurial. It was much easier to use and had native JIRA integration. I always thought (and still do) that github looks too cute and not very serious.

Not a doctor, but I was given a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea from an overnight in-lab study. Sought a second opinion who decided it wasn't sleep apnea at all. AHI or T-90 are convenient indicators, but pulmonologists will actually l

I wouldn't put a ton of stock into this, but it could still be useful. The WatchPAT device is purpose-built for this test and includes a full fingertip oximeter and while it's FDA-approved, it's still not very accurate. It&#x

I assume lobbying will be pro-YIMBY. Aside from the people behind the movement, property developers and realtors stand to gain a ton. This is a win-win.

It's really not parenting. A child's future potential is predominantly determined by genetics and environment. Parenting is third place. This is actually backed up by research.

There's no need to. High rates only exist to combat inflation.
