Certainly the display contributed a bit to battery drain. And in bright sunlight, I love eInk compared to a regular display.

There's little discussion about immigration. Canada has an even higher rate of immigration than the US and, no surprise, is watching housing prices spiral even higher. If you build X affordable units, but let it 2X or even 1.1X new res

And now rock stars who were once as rich as, well, rock stars, are largely forced to get by on a pittance from either Spotify or YouTube. It used to be that there were hundreds of stars getting rich. Now there's Taylor Swift and... I c

I also came looking for something about the game company, but I was happy for the confusion. Fascinating topic. Maybe if we can get nuclear cars, we can go back to steam turbines! :-)

It's true. Everything has a peak. All directors have a film that did the biggest box office. His was "Super Size Me."

You are correct. They're better than you would expect -- and the price is reasonable.

You could bet in Bitcoin. If the quantum computer doesn't exist, one person gets it. If the quantum computer appears that can break the Bitcoin digital signatures, well, then the Bitcoin is worthless.

A friend of mine who taught high school said he would tell his class each year that there would be one day when all he would spew would be made up baloney. But he wouldn't tell them which day that would be. It was up to them to discove

Third places? Some of the companies I work with don't even want to be a "second place". They are giving up their office space to let people work from home.

Another way to look at it is to recognize that all teachers have limitations. Humans often convey misinformation too.

Disney isn't having much luck these days in the movie business. Too many fails eventually trickles down to the line workers.

It's hard to figure out what to pay for open source. Is there much proprietary that's adding real value?

I like how the existence of pedals is all it takes to use the bike lane. The rider may only contribute a tiny fraction of what it takes to move the rig, but somehow it's seen as a "bike".

Another heart attack for a male between 55 and 65. Sheesh. I know of dozens of them. A few women too, but overwhelmingly the dead are male.

It's not a paradox. It's just a different set of definitions. Someone can work long hours but produce nothing that helps the bottom line of the corporation. Now, usually these tasks are said to increase the long-term profitability

Better than clipping them to a non-buoyant device. Or worse, the classic cement overshoes.

So why should we listen to anything he has to say? I mean if it's mainly luck, we're pretty much stuck with the circumstances of our birth. It's not like his wisdom helped him and so it can't help us.

Scott Galloway seems to be pretty successful. Does he attribute this to luck or talent? Genuinely curious.

Exactly. These sites are kind of specialized search engines that work with lots of public records. Using the word "stealing" for what's already public information doesn't seem right. It's not even like we're ta

Not to be cynical or make any claim about this particular case, but if a person were going to commit suicide as a kind of FU to someone, then it seems like making this kind of statement before adds an extra layer of FU.

If the plumber wants to write such a contract and the customer wants to sign it, sure. In many big cities, there are toilets that are pay-per-use. So, in essence, the market has already embraced the idea you mock.
