Another point is that these charts likely are showing that for a given set of already infected people you are seeing a saturation curve. Initially high growth — high % increase per day or per week. But then eventually you are saturating the

Not sure if anybody knows: 1) some restaurants want to have their own employee's deliver food as a way to avoid paying these costs to the delivery services like uber eats, door dash, etc -- is that something that is "against the r

Super cool -- one challenge will be that in order to live on the hot processors of today, these emitters will need to still work at around 400K -- the good news is that these appear to still work well at around 300K -- but it sounds like th

Agreed. Many people say it but it seems lots of people who make new products forget — you have to meet the consumer where they are today and hold their hand to the bright future that you envision. Jumping directly to that future often doesn

yea I think the reason its worth mentioning is that when you talk about a report that will claim that 30%+ of jobs could be done from home, then the question is how many of those jobs can be setup in a way where it can be measured in a way

Many people have brought this up, but there are definitely things to consider for a job to be done while working from home: 1) worker productivity (does it go up or down for all of these professions) 2) do companies want to pay you as much

The sad but real reason a ton of this is happening is one very big word that is typically not present in things like car / airplane design: flexibility... flexibility to change the user controls, flexibility to fix problems, flexibilit

If “pruning is all you need” that does feel like a way of explaining how intelligence could come out of a mass of neurons such as our brain. Or at least that sounds like a thing that makes it understandable to me. Basically add a bunch of c

Also tons of kids in Japan walk, take the train or bike to school, so having kids stay home would actually cut down on a chunk of possible vectors that go back and forth to busy places like train stations and schools. If this keeps up in Ja

These statistics if dominated by AMZN, MSFT, GOOGL, FB all have stocks in the past few years have been on a tear, so I’m sure RSUs have to be part of this. 280k for Seattle area is definitely not some kind of average..

Ah thanks for that.. I mean, come on spaceX, give us a pan-scan camera controlled by the internet so we can help look for the rocket when it crash lands!! we can have it hooked up to a discord server and people can type "LEFT" &qu

I believe they do a little horizontal kick just before landing when they validate things are look good. Potentially something wasn’t right and it just crashed into the ocean like 100 yards from the drone ship.. the good thing is that spaceX

While air transport has dramatic challenges to switch to non fossil fuels, if we created vast high speed rail networks we could focus air traffic on the longer distance flights. As the human race approaches peak population (at least for a w

Closed to outside funds in 1993 (shortly after ussr collapse), returns after fees (and paying everybody as well at the firm) are above 50%, assets of 10 billion and anything above the 10 billion gets paid out every year.. so roughly 5 billi

It was somewhat eerie to hear the “stage 1 throttle up” then abort just after that.. reminded me of the “go for throttle up”.. some of you may know what I’m taking about.. I’m glad these guys will have an abort system available and testing

This looks interesting — would be cool if the author called out what hardware this was tested on specifically since they mention drivers to support various things like Chromebooks and microboards.

Something tells me that ASML will be the target of China hacking them and trying to get technical info on how to build their own machine. Hate to be pessimistic but I’ll be waiting for that news story to hit in a year or so..

The main benefit of 5G is for the cell carriers. With more spectrum available and various channels usable in a more efficient way they can provide more total bandwidth if they want to. Seems likely they will just slowly inch up the speeds

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the bank prior to the buyback bought a bunch of the stock (I don't know if this is true, but seems plausible). Then in that case the company would literally be taking out a loan from the bank in order t

Yea the hbo streaming situation is bonkers.. totally reeks of meeting some odd corporate goals or some BS. They need to solidify their offerings at ATT into like one service or something.. just have it be like HBO+ and call it a day.

Yea good point. Intel will be like “we get it, you want to replace us, let us build the chip you want to build. We will give you a sweetheart deal.” And Amazon will be like cool we will but we are still working on our own thing. Which will

Basically the playbook for the cloud providers is to pretend that Intel and AMD don’t need to worry about it for as long as possible, then suddenly they will be close to price parity and then it’s bad news for Intel and AMDs server business
