I didn't grow up rich or culturally connected in New York. I went to one of the few universities in the US where you can pursue a dual degree in a conservatory level music curricul…

Without respecting US IP, hard to imagine there will be a lot of respect for Chinese IP from the US. Maybe it doesn't matter?

Sorta like that. Only been a few decades of trying to make electric a real part of their product line

From what I remember reading a while back, 70% of corn in the US goes to animal feed thus making meat a very subsidized industry transitively. Entire US states' agricultural produc…

It is a good vegan/vegetarian product though... I hear what you are saying but for someone in my shoes (I'm vegetarian, my wife is not), this makes life so much easier.

Vegetarian here. Ugh. First: The vegetarians that I know don't like meat. So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb. Guessing anecdotally, I…

I dont think I have ever read an article about MIT students that didnt start its headline with MIT, is this university policy of some sort?

On this post, many commentators seem convinced amazon will have issues resulting from lack of trust. Any leading indicators that would bring some credibility to this claim that any…

Surprised there was no mention of non dairy milk. Almond, soy and others have all taken over much of the aisles, has to leave a mark I would imagi ne.

"Population growth has been slowing since the late 60's, it peaked in 1968." Misleading phrasing... "World population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. The current world popu…

Thanks real_cost. I have been thinking this way for a long time but was unaware of a formal name for this idea/system. Glad to have a name to put to a concept and signed up for you…

yeap. I'm lucky enough to have options in Berkeley, but where I lived in the past, there was only ATT and Comcast...

For anyone in a place with options, My suggestion is simply switching to a Net Neutrality proponent. Ditching my comcast today in favor of Sonic fiber. Cheaper, supports net neutra…

I think not being able to afford these things is the goal though. The trick is in how you do it. The simplest example is just phasing in a 'negative externality tax'. First year is…

Sometimes I wonder why I have convinced myself that a desk job is the way to go. Then I remember that thats 220kV haha

Agreed. There should be a mitigation cost associated with all plastics. Nothing more frustrating than buying a container for some food that will last for millennia meanwhile the fo…

alexa support?

lots of literature is available on this (granted, not always clear what their source of info is). In general, many funds at that stage are playing the unicorn game (and many raisin…

Agreed for the most part. With that said, startups at the seed and pre-A don't need or care about any of that. Startups with 100M in financing might, although most likely don't car…

"Companies spend the the majority of their costs on office space" Have my doubts about this. Would love to see your sources

I have always been fascinated by Air conditioning. Back in highschool, I wrote a paper all about how South Florida became inhabitable as a result fo AC. After college, I started an…

100%. I do a lot of renders for our marketing from time to time. Because its currently done on a CPU, anything even a little complex takes many hours to get retina renders out with…

unfortunately, I'm not sure I really buy this. Twitter was basically about to allow Nuclear war to start on its platform. Alex Jones is kinda a foot note comparatively. Anyways, un…
