Is that really "widespread/mainstream" though? Podcasts listening is pretty huge; in the US "38% of those age 12+ in the U.S. are monthly podcast listeners" (ref: https://www.ediso…

Is it possible that Podcasts are the last remaining widespread/mainstream use case of RSS?

I can't believe it took this much scrolling to find a reasonable take. I think personal preference is clouding people's judgement. Of course it will depend on your employer and how…

Huh? Maybe you're not understanding that a Y towing a Y is netting you fewer total miles in the long run than just driving a single Y. There's no reason to do what you're proposing…

The top 1% by what? Income? Here's another one: the top 0.001% make 0% of the income and pay 0% of the taxes.

The intention was not to create tax shelters for the ultra-wealthy. Hence the income limits. Thiel used a loophole to grow his wealth using the Roth as the vehicle.

I wonder how much faster the 13" MBP with M1 will be compared to the M1 MBA? Comparing the i7 MBA and the i7 13" MBP to the M1 MBA may give us some clues: https://browser.geekbench…
