Betting markets have various limits that protect them from being gambling sites, and you literally cannot buy any more contracts on Biden on the ones that show a 10% chance for Trump. That keeps the odds from moving. If the market was liqui

Although I personally care about every point you listed, I don’t think most buyers care about any of them.

However, I think it’s actually easier to change the clock than to change the norms. (Which is silly!)

Every software service I’ve worked on has had issues around DST transitions. That’s really the only programming benefit I see for getting rid of it going forward.

It polls the database every second for every subscription? How does that scale to a lot of subscriptions?

They’re kind of gimmicky, and don’t give the 6DOF you get with the Quest.

Mostly agree with you, and I’m on my second Tesla too. Even on a bad day I’d much rather be driving my X than anything else.

Musk is delusional with his timeframes, but I think he's sincere about his aspirations, and has a track record of eventually delivering. Milton (Nikola) just flat out made stuff up all the time that had no basis in truth.

Using your bitcoin to purchase something after it has appreciated is the same as selling it, and you owe tax on the difference in value.

And Tesla is actually selling those solar shingles today. Good example.

At the current inflation rate, there’s not much adjusting necessary...

When that interview was done, Sweden was in a pretty bad spot. Today their strategy is looking much more successful. Do you have anything more recent from him?

Nobody has mentioned they are a short seller? Every article I’ve seen about it mentions it, and Hindenburg themselves are clear about it. You should certainly take that into account when analyzing their report, but it does not mean they sho

Are they achieving the additional range by just using a bigger battery? Or new tech/chemistry? Removing weight from the rest of the car? Better aerodynamics? If it’s just a bigger battery, it’s not all that interesting. I’m sure Elon c

I’ve been confused about this since they filed suit against Google... don’t they have what they want there, the ability to run their own App Store? So it’s not that they want to run their own store, but... what? They want to be in Google Pl

Apple Pay does not take 30% cuts, it's just a payment method. And it's by far the best purchasing experience on the web, IMO. When a vendor implements Apple Pay, I end up at least twice as likely to buy from them because so much f

I haven’t been totally happy with Google’s stewardship of Firebase, but that line in the article bugged me too. I didn’t think RTDB was ever deprecated.

Are you talking about the Firebase RTDB? You can’t create new ones anymore? That’s news to me.

Managed services are where the money is. :)

by zwily 6y ago
Yeah but this is the customer-friendly way to deprecate - let existing users keep using the old method indefinitely, new users have to use the new way.

I haven’t used Swift heavily till recently, but didn’t they say from the beginning there would be lots of breaking changes in the first couple versions? Doesn’t make it less painful but they were at least up front about it.
