It would seem like such an obvious win-win if these cleaning robotics companies just won a couple of contracts with some tech forward hotel chains. - Faster R&D since hotel rooms a…

My hot take for Japan is that hybrids make the most sense until one the major markets (US or all of EU) has significant traction with respect to ubiquitous EV charger infrastructur…

I don't think its quite so easy anymore that I can tell, with parental tools today - on a properly provisioned device you can require parental permission for app installs such as V…

Yes it doesn't show up probably because you were able to pretty easily mindlessly click through the part where you were asked if this is being provisioned as a child's computer. Wh…

From a parent's perspective, that's the great part about bubbling it up to the OS user account level. Its trivially easy to see if the user (child) has indeed created multiple OS l…

It was mostly in response to the secwar tweet: "Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commer…

Sorry I was a bit unclear - this was referencing the Administration not Anthropic. The United States Department of Justice under the Trump administration, supported Phillips.[20][5…

While not exactly parallel, it seems slightly hypocritical that this is coming from the party of "a baker should not be forced to bake a wedding cake for a customer that they ideol…

My hot take as some one who follows the space is that traditionally a big blocker of factory built housing has been unionized trades people who lived in the area of the housing dev…

I think this is the issue - if the NIMBYs want to protest things they should really start when the office space gets built. The filled office space full of white collar jobs paying…

Interestingly it's popularity or unpopularity would prove out two things - both of which are somewhat of a win win for Apple: 1.) If MacPhone/MacPad is popular then it would prove …

I think the reverse offering on the Apple device roadmap would be interesting. A MacPad and a MacPhone. Given its eventually going to be completely the same silicon this would enab…

Pretty cool! My hot take is that there are seem to be really two markets here: 1.) Candy crush type board games targeting kids with well-off parents. Basically really focused on im…

I feel like they should target commercial applications first before worrying about trying to get into people's homes. It would seem like the ideal target for this would be say a ho…

There was/is a pretty interesting board game roughly based on Python Turtles created by a middle schooler a while back. Instead of a turtle you control a bunny and instead of lines…

The burrito ballistic tech seems like it could probably handle the last 10 yards problem and enable drive by delivery. Postmates - How we built a Burrito Cannon https://www.youtube…

My hot take is that it will probably follow the Netflix model of pricing once the VC money wants to turn on the profit switch. Originally Netflix was a single tier at $9.99 with no…

I feel like it'd be perfect if all these school replacements (home-school, charter school, online only schools) went after replacing the dearth of quality after school options. Rea…

It feels a better strategy for all parties involved to have transitioned these shows to ABC's streaming properties (i.e. Hulu) and made them "exclusive" content for these platforms…

I think there could be a case for a fixed amount of annual tax credit for each US citizen that is employed by a company - since presumably that person is not on the government payr…

Looking at this from a glass half full mindset, a decade from now we should have a pretty interesting data set from a public health policy perspective. Prior to this, to get such a…

I think a line up of specifically branded Android Phones and Chromebook that are locked into (at least initially) using Google Family Link and perhaps more importantly - a marketin…

haha - yes - sometimes when you look at all the Web 2.0 and beyond startups, all of the startups seems to be at least original founded to solve problems single people think need so…

A fun theory I have is that once you start seeing industry trade group sponsored lobbyists and influence marketing campaigns matching the level of spending of entrenched industries…
