I have a very conscientious friend who used to drive across state lines to do a video visit from their car with an out of state provider. It's pretty wild to think about what a waste and time sink this is for families with complex illn

Andreessen always argues for "growth" and declares "time to build," but as soon as someone tries to build an apartment in his town of Atherton, he's going to fight it: https://fortune.com/2023/0

Wow, what's even the point of such a small fine? Even in their reduced revenue state, X probably does $3 bln/year in revenue? So this fine is 1/10000th of their annual revenue for the company. X seems to have barely even trie

Estate tax only kicks in > $12M. But probate kicks in if your assets are > $170k! I don't support extensive tax trickery to get out of estate tax (unless you count giving it all to charity as tax hacking, which I definitely don&#

Yes, I have not gone AMA but I have heavily pressed a doc to get me out RIGHT AWAY because I was getting worse in a hospital rather than better. Sleep was the top concern, and my biggest frustration was how nurses and doctors would all chuc

Woah, fairly confusing. Looks like the base Pro gets the same "pro camera" according to this: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/ But the zoom options are different so it's clearly not the same.

Yes, if I were Waymo I would be so pissed. It looks like protestors and regulators want to lump the two together. I'm pretty supportive of careful public testing of AV, but even I look at these recent Cruise incidents and find it very

The rumor I heard is that it came with a ton of restrictions: - If Barstool sells, Penn gets 50% - Barstool cannot accept gambling adds for several years (which would compete with Penn) - Barstool cannot go into the gambling business Since

This should be a happy moment for the way global science works! Researchers in Korea wrote a paper. American, European, and Chinese theorists in Berkeley and Shenyang analyzed the approach right away and confirmed its hypothetical viability

I drank Anchor occasionally, but then Fort Point was a better local, everyday beer. Now I think I East Brother is the best regional option for pilsner - just a little extra maltiness is really nice.

One of the examples here is the Berlin airlift. If you are interested in the Berlin airlift, I'd really recommend the book "Checkmate Berlin" (Giles Milton). It starts in 1945 and covers the whole arc of the Soviet-Western re

For those interested in food and history, I would definitely recommend the Tasting History series on YouTube. Every episode, Max Miller makes a dish from a (sometimes vague) old recipe and does a short, relevant history lesson. E.g. he cove

Yeah, it's wild - feels like we see "software is so slow now! nobody optimizes software anymore, they just run Python and burn cycles!" posts all the time, but man, when a company REALLY wants to optimize something -- it&#x27

While I strongly think HBS should do much more to prevent fraud, I would also note that they have suspended Gino and seem likely to fire her. So it’s not like they are completely ok with this…

Note that Desmond has been widely criticized for focusing on a poverty measure that does not include the impact of government transfers. If you include these anti-poverty programs, rates of poverty have declined significantly since the 70s:
