You should checkout Matt Stroller’s monopoly newsletter. This is basically what he is doing except uncovering a monopoly in depth takes months, not a day. Amazing work. E.g. here for cheerleading monopoly article he wrote https:/&#x2F

How many of you ticked this box, thinking it would enable you to reserve with Google instead of with Chope (or any third party)? But actually it would register your for more spam.

What about creating a chatroulette for deep conversations only? Participants could rate willingness to engage in dee conversation and you would quickly only keep the right kind of people on the platform.

Makes you wonder why this was not properly done 10 years ago. It’s like, on one side we pay taxes to people who build roads and maintain databases and maps of what they have built (the government) On the other side, we (indirectly) pay for

I think the video was accelerated (look at cars in the background or wind in trees/on grass or the occasional bird/insect). Which means the drone may not have been as fast/manœuvrerabke as it looks. It would explain the cra

Similarly, I really have to wonder about the externalities of having windows in office buildings. While the view they provide can be nice, windows have a real cost to productivity and attention. Edit: research actually points to the oppos

Everything you mention seems possible to replicate with 2 cameras, a few sensors (and a X years of AI/software dev). Which is the point of people saying cameras are good enough if human’s eyes are good enough. Or am I missing something

You realize those « deep cleans » are mostly comms operations for governments to look like they are doing stuff, right? Virus live (mostly) in people, not on sidewalks. One of the most ridiculous example: the Thai government went to the ex

As someone who publishes a small software as a side-project, signing my bundles is a pain in the a*. You not only need to shell out some 100$ to stupid companies like comodo who should not even exist, but also need to incorporate a company

Three questions: 1. How easy would it be to pay a container ship’s captain to do that ? 2. Can you then bet on short term commodity futures to benefits from the event significantly? 3. Do you think this is what’s happening ?

Or more likely this is how synchronicity works: - we have 7B people on earth - at any point of time, all possible exciting among the moment are being worked on by someone - if something succeed, we look back and wonder at the synchronici

95% of people are also unable to tell the difference between a secure properly e2e encrypted chat, and an insecure chat. Does that mean that there is no insecure and secure chat softwares?

It is not so much about having a team of bodyguards 24/7 with you, but about having a security team in the back office that will oversee all the details of your schedule so that you just are not in a scenario where this is possible. (E
