How do you have anecdotal opinion on this o3 model that hasn’t been publicly released yet?

The trainers used by many people on Zwift (eg. the Wahoo Kickr) actually read out pretty accurate power numbers. The classic Peloton is basically a mechanical device with sensors a…

Sure, overall you’re going to have a better experience if you can just roll with whatever happens and enjoy it (true in life and cinema). I think that at some level, when I’m consu…

The money faucet is search ads. If you aren’t an active user you aren’t clicking on search ads.

Cost per GB of hard disk has not dropped much in the past few years, the money has to come from somewhere.

My point is that only a fraction of user data collection is done for the purpose of ad targeting. So whether or not ad targeting should be banned for ethical reasons, such a ban is…

Measurement of conversions (ie. did somebody make a purchase after clicking the ad) is even more economically significant than targeting, and this is where ad publishers are most a…

I live in a neighborhood with impacted parking that’s poorly served by the local government. People keep parking in front of my driveway and blocking me in. If I call the cops they…

If this were right, you could cure your obesity by mixing the right multivitamin into your food? It seems like if fixing some nutrient deficiency were all it took, we’d have figure…

Duffy did testify against FTX’s proposal in Congress back in May: https://www.cmegroup.com/content/dam/cmegroup/media-room/spe... It’s pretty strongly worded: > FTX’s Proposal is g…

I don’t get it. What makes it worth staying 1-2 years, but not 2-3 years? What happens at 2 years that makes you want to do the job before and not want to do it after? If you never…

School shootings kill dozens of people per year in the US, it’s a similar magnitude risk as lightning strikes or train crashes. Infant mortality in the US is more common and indica…

I’ve encountered a bunch of people with that sort of background working that kind of job, it’s a real thing.

Inflation means there is too much demand in the economy compared to the supply (of goods and labor). Decreased retirement funds are one mechanism by which asset price reductions ca…

Sure Bluetooth will play the audio, but the app has a bunch of other controls: choosing an episode, skipping commercials, adjusting playback speed, etc. I’ve used that and it’s a b…

It’s kind of lame to not be able to make use of the huge catalog of apps that integrate with Android Auto and CarPlay. For example, I use a podcast app that’s on iOS and Android. I…

It’s true of many good investment strategies that if you retroactively ignore the best winners (without also ignoring the worst losers) that your measure of performance drops drama…

This sounds interesting, but there’s not enough detail for me to understand what you mean. Care to elaborate?

I’m not a fan of the guidelines myself (too carb-heavy, IMO). However I don’t think obesity and diabetes are rampant among people who eat 2000 calories and exercise 30 minutes per …

If your employer wants you to have Slack on a phone, they should buy you a phone. That’s been my situation across multiple employers for 5+ years. I plug the same monitor and mouse…

If I approve of two candidates, but I like one more than the other, approval voting doesn’t seem to allow me to express that preference. Do I vote for both candidates, or only the …

It’s a widely accepted fact that Iraq had a chemical weapons program before the Persian Gulf War. Iraq and the UN cooperated to dismantle that program in the early 90’s. There was …

This is the best pro-bitcoin argument I’ve heard in a long time! One big question I have is why bitcoin specifically has the value and not other cryptocurrencies. Others provide th…

You just invented society!

Wait, really? Quota are recorded by code that must be changed by pull request, not an entry in a db? That sounds like an insane waste of engineer time.
