At least in the customer space, I think Dropbox's main problem is that they have refused to offer lower space / lower cost packages. I can get 100 GB on Google Drive for $2 / month. The lowest package on Dropbox is $10 /

Tesla also said they'd sell a <= $35,000 Model 3. That lasted for only a few months in 2019 before they realized that they were selling the cars under cost... So, I'd take this with a huge grain of salt. BTW, Nissan and GM are

No way that Congress is going to allow that for a multitude of reasons.

It would've been so much easier to justify yesterday. Twitter always seems to be behind on these decisions.

Not a Google Maps story, but a family died in Death Valley 24 years ago by following a map that showed a similar road that was not passable for their vehicle. Tragic way to die. https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-sto

No mention of the Colorado Trail? It’s a world class thru hike. Easily doable in about a month. Starts just 20 miles outside of Denver city limits!

Both the J&J and moderna vaccines can be stored at much warmer temperatures. Pfizer likely can as well but they haven’t done the testing to verify that yet. I’m not saying that AZ’s stocks of vaccine are going to be thrown out by any me

There’s an increasing likelihood that the AZ vaccine will arrive too late to the party in the US and will be the least effective of all the vaccines approved by the FDA. We don’t know the latter yet for sure, J&J’s data is supposed to c

Dominos is just yet another example that screams: you cannot cut your way to growth.

If 50% of the top million websites use JQuery, is it time to just admit that it should be bundled with JS by default in some way, shape or form?

I’m ready to jump off of Comcast as soon as possible, but Starlink may not be the best option there. Now if I was working from an RV all the time it would make tons of sense.

I guess if you're a terrestial teleco you have to do something to compete with Starlink, but I'm not sure I'd make the investment in these in rural areas if SpaceX can really make Starlink economical. But that's a big IF

You should take these findings with a big grain of salt. Remember we don't yet even have a causal model of Alzheimer's and dementia. Amyloid plaques are strongly associated with Alzheimer's but it's not clear if they&#x2

Yes but you’d have to find a piece of hardware capable of producing sound outside the audible range.

Not sure I'd be citing that group. Their methodology is suprisingly opaque.

I’m in favor of ending unlimited qualified immunity but capping the maximum damages seems like a reasonable compromise for most cases. In the most egregious situations, the cap should be removed and government officers should face the same

The fundamental problem isn't streaming, as much as it is that natural systems follow power law distributions. There will always be superstars that make the majority of the money, and tons and tons of wannabe artists that make almost

That’s actually a high hurdle to clear. Looking at fatalities per hundreds of thousands of miles driven humans are insanely good at driving. Using the 2018 NHTSA number of 1.13 deaths per 100 million miles driven, avg speed of 60 mph, 20 pr

The problem with intuition is that it’s often misleading or outright wrong. The only time I’ll trust a PMs intuition is when their background closely matches the target audience.

How do you decide which features to prioritize and which to pass on? You'll probably get a wide range of responses to that question, but you'll also probably get a good feeling for who is a competent PM and who is probably not. H

There’s the rub. Depending on who you ask DeepMind appears to, as of a year or two ago, be running deep in the red.

And this is why it's so important to be financially independent. If you have money saved up in this situation you can politely tell your boss, that you won't be coming back from vacation period, and the only remaining question is

They're already outsourcing the jobs to other countries because of cost regardless of talent level. If the US did away with the H1B visa entirely, companies here would hire people they would have previously overlooked and train them

Is the loss of Arecibo a big blow to the scientific community? I was of the impression that Arecibo was long past it's heyday and in general that large arrays of smaller receivers were now considered superior.

I think it's kind of naive to think that antitrust litigation will really fundamentally alter the balance of power with these companies. Remember, that initially Microsoft lost their antitrust lawsuit and was ordered to break up. On a

They'd have to be retrofitted to be capable of loading and unloading cargo similarly to typical air freighters. The standard passenger entry/exit portals are not big enough to move large pallets on the plane.

We need to see the relationship between confidence and GDT score. If you have a nice relationship then again everything is great. But... most confidence metrics from neural networks do not have a nice relationship to the primary metric.

I read the blog. But there’s a big difference between a mind blowing tech demo and something that can be used in a commercially viable process.
