I second this. If a company is building their product off of other people's work, I believe they need to honor the spirit and intention of their predecessors. From the comment below, it sounds like maybe an Apple-like…
I think you underestimate the lengths to which some people will go for fame.
Non-incremental advances require a lot of wasted-path R&D. If any of Intel's projects creates a generational leap, it will pay off handsomely. When the way forward isn't clear, I like to use the concepts from path…
Check out beergraphs.com, it has lots of different normalization lenses that might get you what you want. Founded by some baseball stathead writers, so takes a lot of the same approaches to data.
If you're discussing the reality of the problem instead of the perception of it, the median household income would need to be adjusted for cost of living. I'd need nearly double a nice salary just to afford the same…
The actual number of eligible voters was about 250 million in the last presidential election, up from 235 million in the 2012 race. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_St...

I never really understood the significance of the Bombadil interaction, except to underline how ancient a world this was, and how much more power everyone had compared to hobbits. Would you help me understand why the…
What's a reasonable cost per word for specialized content? EG, something about a specific field (although doesn't require a college degree to write, some specialized knowledge would be good). I've seen about 20 cents…

200cal/day is about 20 lbs./year, not accounting for adaptation.
I doubt it was specific to the exact MRR number. More likely their growth stalled using the methods that were taking up all of their time (direct sales, word of mouth). For some $N MRR (magic point where you look for…
Rent prices in Chicago are half of SF, according to crowdsourced data from Numbeo's cost of living calculator. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...
Twilio has nearly a $3 billion market cap right now, and their signup/churn/usage rates give them a good idea on the growth potential for this market. Nobody I know is a Twilio engineer, but nearly every backend…
You don't think property coops are at a high risk of acting like current HOAs?
I've done a lot of scraping in my day, and I've found that lxml/requests is 2-3 OOM more resource efficient than a Selenium based browser. That JS/rendering engine is HEAVY!
Bureaucracies are inherently risk averse; that is what it sounds to me like you ran into. You have my sympathy for it. I think it's wrong and a net loss to society, but I also have no impetus to criticize a…
Even if they were selling, I would think it's a net loss for society that they cannot fully participate in banking. My point was more about OP's presentation of why they could not participate. It's pretty clear they're…
Analog headphones are lossy, I trust compression algorithms to improve more than I believe manufacturers will use more expensive, higher quality materials and connections at the same price point.
According to your own site[0], it sounds like Stripe declined to continue to serve you because of an association with a cannabis business. (That's a sub-optimal reality, but I think it's disingenuous to state that it…
My point wasn't to deny your experience, only to comment that even for your specific experience it's impossible to be so confident as to state it was Vitamin C that prevented illnesses. I'm happy you found something…
Point 3 seems to be a case where correlation does not imply causation. Basing an advertising campaign with an oblique reference to the issues at Uber* doesn't mean the campaign is effective. * most people I talk with…
What makes you think it was the Vitamin C that prevented the cold? It could as easily have been your belief in the Vitamin C cure that prevented the colds.
I'm reading Haidt's "Happiness Hypothesis" right now, and in one section he identifies life circumstances which people never adjust to (i.e. excluded from the Hedonistic treadmill effect). A long commute is something he…
