In many ways the big disruption is that EVs require orders of magnitude less service than ICE vehicles. In the case of Tesla, their gains in reliability are directly transformed into a lesser demand for servicing. Once they get into a infle

I think this is a bug of the system, not a feature. Manufacturers and Dealerships have a co-dependent relationship where manufacturers provide a franchised business and the supply of a very unique product and dealerships provide distributio

Honestly, Twitter is just a weird product. On the authoring side, it has a tremendous product-market fit with particular outspoken groups (investors, founders, politicians, journalists, activists, etc) and a terrible product-market fit with

Very poor reasoning in this article. He totally ignored the business fundamentals of the entertainment industry. Content is king and content is an extremely capital-intensive business. No existing entertainment business is willing to cooper

Right. My H1B employer refused to file for a green card right away and wanted to wait a year. I simply left for another employer who filed it right away.

This is correct. You can apply for a green card whenever. I did mine a few months after getting my H1B.

Thanks for the reply. This makes sense. Is there an specific way to shop for a warehouse account? It’s this something that is offered in some productized way? For example, the bank you shared above doesn’t seem to have inbound sales, so it’

Yeah. I have seen that fintechs always disclose that their banking service are provided by another existing bank, but how do you exactly find a bank to partner with?

$250k base salary. That's not top of market if the other $550k are illiquid options with no clear liquidity horizon.

Google had the head start here with Glass, and then in classic Google fashion they let it die. I'm always baffled how bad is Google at playing long term games. Their biggest mistake with Glass was trying to productize it too fast and s

us-east-1 is so unreliable that it probably should be nuked. It's the region with the worst track record. I guess it doesn't help that is one of the oldest.

They don't but that’s how people interpret NFTs. They think of NFTs as buying an asset that demonstrates authentic ownership of media. NFTs conceptual value doesn’t map to anything that seems remotely valuable at present moment. There’

I think the problem with the current state of Web3 is that it really doesn't seem to solve meaningful, mainstream problems yet. Even the most widely accepted use case which is crypto-currency fails to break out of the theoretical value

What do you mean? It’s not like a deepfake is a model that produces a new video from scratch in a completely random setting. It needs a base video to be modified. They need a video of a person talking to do the deepfake.

None of the things you mentioned make sense in the US. Selling behind bars doesn’t solve any problems for CVS, Walgreens, etc. These are big stores with a lot of walking surface that benefit mostly from uninterrupted traffic of people. Payi

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense. I wouldn’t use it for streaming or webcam though. I think my main use case would be to record myself and then edit the raw videos. So I assume for that you don’t need extra hardware besides the came

I agree with what you're saying. Traditional education is ripe for disruption, but this is clearly not the model that will do that. I imagine that there are high quality students that come out of this bootcamps but how consistently can

Honest question. I have used DuckDuckGo and Brave Search and although they seem to do the job for generic searches they really suck for very specific searches. How likely is for one of these search engines to catch-up technologically to Goo
