If the implementation of voice calls over the traditional networks do not improve (as you suggest, via improvements and regulations), then people will route around it. My kids only call me via FaceTime ... and the only way they communicat

This is 100% destroying the phone for younger generations ... my kids answer nothing, not even my own phone calls because they set their phones on do not disturb to curb the endless robo, scam, and cold calls. If it wasn't for https

But then ... we don't really do a great job at even attempting to rehabilitate anyone. When we stick a non-violent offender in a prison, it's "Not A Good Time™️" for them. They become institutionalized, they make crimina

Just to ++ this sentiment. This echoes my situation back then as well. The only thing I can think that _might_ have helped me in hindsight, was a combination of better consumer protections (I got that loan with zero down ... and they glosse

yay BJJ! Been doing this for about two years, and it's the best thing I ever started. Really enjoy both the physical training aspect of it, and also the "human chess" aspect of it.

by "fat-free body weight", do you mean people that have a low body percentage already?

If you are interested in these kinds of stories, check out the documentary http://www.thesearchforgeneraltso.com/ Aside from being specifically about searching for the origin of the general tso recipe, it talks about how ch

I too freely admit that you might be right as well (if the assumption of speed can be dismissed) ... lol, this feels like it would be perfect fodder for one of those physics youtube channels that answers channels, or perhaps XKCD's ht

I'm guessing that you're underestimating the cost of drag ... tailing a 300 sq meter "boat" would probably require more energy than it could produce. I have no data, and haven't done any back of the napkin calculati

Bunks, combined with being able to get up for brief visits to the head, and perhaps a small bar (for food, drinks, and coffee), would be a dream long distance commute for me.

The real trick is going to come from the new interaction models that are invented ... I'm not just talking about the generic point, touch, and gesture UX that we have today in the AR/VR space; I'm talking about entirely new

My comment stands, "it should be" ... a paid review is tainted from jump street. At a very minimum, disclosure should be mandated (is this already the case?)

But are they worse off for "losing" those teams?

Not to be cliche, but you need to check your privilege here. Firstly, "these folks" would clearly have a better job if they could get one. You assume they're not trying ... or you assume it's as simple to find a job as

This is it right here. I can be convinced to be somewhat sympathetic to the view of excessive regulation, and ineffective bureaucracy ... however, I certainly can't be convinced that it's wholesale not necessary. Bad actors can an

While I completely understand what the article is saying ... this is nothing short of a complete failure of journalistic integrity. Just like there's a "wall" between the news floor and the advertising department, it should b

For these to work, the economic and technical issue at hand have to be one and the same. You either do, or don't, get the money once X,Y,Z conditions are met (conditions must be verifiable on the blockchain). Outside of that, you'

I'm honestly starting to believe that the "wisdom of the crowds" that so many startups and businesses rely on to reach "internet scale", is exactly the wrong approach. Between recommendation algorithms that can be g

Just to add onto the cavalcade of other anecdotes ... can confirm that there is a similar "cuban time", having grown up in Miami. No one is on time, much to the chagrin of my very-caucasian wife :)

Is there any way you could change your routine? Personally, I despise being rushed in my meals.

Juul is also, by far, the most mainstream product on the market (at least, as far as school-aged children go). That's how it goes ... biggest target gets the bullet.

With regards to political views, the point isn't in any way to change your view, it's to use your view. By taking out ads that stoke someone's feelings about abortions, they can get them to follow a FB page, which can the

There's a reason that advertising works ... they tap into the deepest human instincts and urges. As much as anyone wants to believe they are too smart to be swayed by advertising, it's only hubris.

I'm very excited about this stuff ... but as a relatively healthy person, I'm gonna wait for v1.1 :)

Same here ... it's ideal for me, though I can definitely agree that even better is the "hybrid" concept mentioned by a few others, where I have some time spent amongst the team, and some time spent in isolation.
