I mean... how does history not already tell you this? Nearly every person we remember as a historical figure was able to "sell" something to get there. The typical exception to thi…

you're asking this question in a thread about Mark Cuban... yes, 100% salespeople

what other famous national landmarks avoided getting a building permit for 135 years?

that's like "discovering" the eiffel tower, it's not like you're stumbling into an unexplored land

More important. The only innovative thing I can come up with to avoid having to fix my leaky toilet is shitting in the yard.

Wish this wasn't software bound to hardware

Ehhh, I imagine the seed/filament weight ratio is much closer than the human/filament weight ratio... if you blow this up to human size/weight proportions the filaments would likel…

Check it out, it does an OK job at filtering out adult content... but it's 99% garbage.

I hear that, my daughter can't even read but can play some really complex games with almost no direct intervention. Kids are incredible learning machines. The restrictions on the i…

There's a crisis of opinion like this in every generation. It happened with radio too. I personally feel like the best approach is moderation for everything, but hey, people who do…

That's my experience, and why I pulled the plug on it. Unless you're on top of your kid the entire time, it's incredibly difficult to keep an eye on that. YouTube is designed to ju…

I strongly recommend that you don't let your kids watch YouTube. There's some really low-quality garbage out there and there's just too much to properly curate. After some explorin…

I think the intention with mentioning a car is the fact that the US is so commute-heavy that the majority of our fast food is intended for car consumption.

I can't cite this case specifically, but normally it would be incredibly difficult to impersonate a government official as a source. In my experience verifying a source means weedi…

the standards for graduation vary wildly so isn't really comparable

There are places in the US where you can still rent DVDs for a dollar a day. Streaming _rental_ prices feel too high.

There are a lot of startups that are in worse shape than that and hope to be profitable someday.

Right, with noise cancelling headphones on I can talk on a plane at a normal volume and hear everything better generally. If I just wanted to block out noise entirely, ear plugs/mu…

Let's assume it's true: Does Apple have a choice other than cover-up? Let's say this was the first they're hearing about it, and it turns out to be true. Can they publicly state th…

Considering that large scale internet companies like Amazon and Apple buy enormous amounts of hardware, it's not an insane strategy. If you compromise 1 of every 1,000 pieces of ha…

Well my point is that it could be corporate embarrassment AND willful fraud to cover up the corporate embarrassment. They have a huge incentive to lie, because even if they were tr…

They're already on the hook for an enormous liability if it's true, so lying about it isn't really the worst option if there's even a small chance it avoids the issue. After seeing…

Uhh, Apple and Amazon are providing very few hard facts... and have a HUGE amount to lose if the story is true. I wouldn't take anything as certainty at this point, not even close.…

My understanding is that while the sources were left anonymous, they were definitely confirmed as intelligence agents by Bloomberg... so if they were duped, it's a pretty serious (…
