It is pretty outrageous that a company who purports to care about the environment turned this into a pile of garbage for the average user to save on some cloud hosting or devops. O…

Regarding the crazy prices - it’s structural. In Asia, manufacturers sell direct or through highly competitive retail channels and the installers really only have to know minisplit…

This article tries to get away with a giant sleight of hand for a reader that might not be super clear on lab grown vs plant based. The overwhelming majority of fake meat is plant …

So far, I'm sold on Soft/Spreadable cheeses from Miyokos. I don't remember having had any real winners on the hard cheese side yet but I will keep trying different ones until someo…

OG cheese is obviously a processed product. I have never seen a cheese cow but perhaps that just me

I never got the impression it had much life in it to begin with

While that -might- be true, the question is whether the dollar, the RMB, the CAD, and every other currency have anything like the -direct- pollution cost of bitcoin, which my under…

Thats true, but it won't be some sort of open platform, it will be a utility for amazon that will come with some sort of monetization scheme. I say this as someone that has deploye…

I'd go for a much smaller bezel/frame.

As a manufacturer/seller on amazon, I sure wish I could stop doing business on amazon. Amazon charges me for everything, despite obvious customer abuse, simply because it's their c…

Would love to see a write-up on COGS. Others have said they are buying commodities from xiaomi and reselling but it's not like there is magic here. 50 employees and real working ca…

Its funny because the most hardcore in open source and security would argue that good techniques don't rely on obfuscation and secrets because those cats can get out of the bag. Ne…

The regenerative ag conversation is really overhyped. Its a way to justified the continuation of an industry plagued by environmental issues and ethical issues. The numbers don't w…

"China also knows that oppressing an ethnic minority and placing them in forced labor is good for short-term economic success" This actually makes the case for banning their produc…

Could they not just but an insane tariff on them?

I have conflicted feelings about this but I do think that the 'spin' is poor. China doesn't allow Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. behind the great firewall. Why not just say we are…

As I understand it, humans are overconsuming proteins

Not a strong conviction from me but I can see a case for liquidity when you can sell quickly.

38,000,000,000/4000 = 9,500,000 plants needed to get to net zero, just for the the carbon we are currently putting out, to say nothing of all the carbon currently causing warming..…

Also adding that perhaps the biggest unnoticed feature with uber and lyft is the feedback loop. Good drivers and good riders stay on the platform, which is good for the users. The …

Raising prices != Doomed... Their business model: request a ride, pay for a ride, is not doomed. Their low prices might be. Yes, their economics pitched to investors relied on auto…

It's just price data collection. In particular, MAP policies can be skirted by not publishing a final price but having a price below MAP in the cart which is a common tactic that o…

Also was in NYC. My inlaws have a place in CT with a basement that is larger than my NYC apartment. Moved out a few months ago and won't be renewing. Might move back to the city in…
