Great point. Intuitively it makes sense that sending kids out when you expect a bunch of their peers to be there is different from sending them out into empty streets. Thinking a l…

I do this and it is powerful, but I find that not being able to swipe/autocorrect my mobile typing in Termius makes things pretty painful.

This is all helpful but I felt like it skipped past a critical part - how do you "extract the range my manager is looking for"? Presumably your manager has to stick to the polite f…

Yes, and none of that matters when the money runs out and you can't convince investors that your business will bring them a worthwhile return in an environment that includes all of…

Something I ran into during exercise 2 (and from watching the solution video[0] closely I see the author did as well): There were four consecutive changed lines in my original comm…

This really feels like a glimpse at where video games are going, I felt like I could really enter into the character's role because what I said actually affected the dialog. That s…

True but I think there's still an element of falsifiability to a teacher's evaluation of an essay that doesn't exist in an oral exam or interactive discussion. An essay is an artif…

It's a fair point about how awful recipe sites look without ad blockers, but this part is just plain incorrect: > You can tell just by looking at the URLs that those sites are goin…

It didn't make any sense to me either. I found this article[1] which frames it a little more clearly: it's not that they thought graphite and lead were the exact same thing, it's t…

> Counting calories. Say your weight is stable and you start eating a single extra piece of sandwich bread every day. After a year, you’ll gain 3.8 kg (8.3 lb) of fat. Almost no on…

I agree that Google is well-positioned, but they were also well-positioned to take advantage of these synergies with Google Assistant for many years and I would say that that did n…

I had a Withings for a couple years and ended up frustrated with it. The tiny screen meant that many notifications took so long to read I often just got my phone out instead. But t…

This doesn't apply to the content complexity finding, but the finding that "product reviews which are in top search results are more likely to contain affiliate links than product …

Sure, the board has the prerogative to stick to that interpretation of its mandate if that's their motivation. But it looks like they won't have much of a company left if they do. …

Seems like a pretty good list, but I think a lot depends on how much you weight each item and how many of the negatives were already "priced in" to the status quo ante when Microso…

I don't think it's true that the Echo was only a novelty, it was and still is an extremely effective way to do a couple of tasks that people find very useful - mainly playing music…

It's saying the overall prevalence in the population from which the study group was drawn was 4.3 per 100k. The study cohort (young men who took SAs during the study time frame) wa…

I have it and if fitness/sleep tracking is the main thing you are after, it's easy to recommend. It looks fantastic and the battery lasts forever. But I find it almost completely u…

> One way around the issue is rendering a globe on a screen. Google maps does this when you zoom out far enough. This isn't a way around the issue because the screen is two-dimensi…

Absolutely it's different from a typical video game experience, I didn't mean to say that it was a replacement for a traditional video game. It's something that really does combine…

There are already compelling VR games, but they are heavily outnumbered in fun but shallow arcade experiences and games which would be bargain-basement tier on any other platform. …

The ability to make all content opt-in instead of opt-out would get you 90% of the way there. Very few services that I know of offer this. Most of them offer gating by age range in…

I'm really looking forward to trying this out, there have been multiple occasions over the last few years when I went looking for something exactly like this and came up empty.

I don't think you would need to disentangle it from income effects to address the concern of someone who actively avoids Teslas on the road, unless they also actively avoid cars th…
