Your premise is extremely unlikely to begin with. Let's assume somehow it comes to pass, still the time scales of these phenomenon are on the order of millions of years. If today a blackhole were to start eating the Sun, it would take

Don't understand why the subscription is cheaper on a mobile phone, if the content and resolution is the same. Also, won't you be able to use something like Samsung Dex to watch this content on a tv anyways?

I have the same rule. Although the actual multiplier I use is 5 based on my experiences. ymmv.

I don't know why an organization called phys.org might need such sensationalization of mundane news. Every article including this one makes it sound like new developments have occurred in physics. When you actually read the article and

Why does it look less aerodynamic than a normal plane? Isn't a rocket or missile like shape the most aerodynamic one? Planes are pretty close to rockets with thin wings for maneuverability. Fling V has so much surface area being pushed

Isn't $150 expensive? Or may be I am just too poor, to throw money at anyone who asks for it.

A lot of cash burning startups flush with VC funding have propped up salaries for everyone in the market. They are very willing to dole out crazy amounts of RSUs to compete with the already high FAANG salaries for the same talent.

Do lawyers get something equivalent to RSUs? I know many software folks whose salaries might be <150K but after adding the value of the stocks they receive they go beyond 150K usually.

When you can't offer salaries, offer them dreams.

I know a lot of people having the same problem. They make a tonne of money by contributing to some of the best companies in the world. But they don't have basic things like a house or a sofa or a dining table. Most even lease cars for

Even I was surprised by the timeline. A high speed train by 2033, really? China has them now, Japan has them now. India is building a bullet train with roughly the same length as SF to LA in 3 years. The US shouldn't be so slow compare

May be the company you hire for has a mediocre reputation. So that people with average programming skills don't mind applying. People are generally good at self sorting. At some level they must be thinking they can get this job and end

This is reasonable from your vantage point. But why should that talented person work for your fledgling startup? Wouldn't he or she have more options on the table?

I was super impressed by the zoom capabilities of the Huawei P30. However, the camera seems to have a weird grainy effect which is not there on my Samsung phone. That's preventing me from switching over.

Definitely didn't take naps during the day since I was outside the house throughout the day. Weekends, I don't recall tbh. May be I cheated during the weekends. Not really sure.

I think it's a combination of youth and dedication that helps people push through such harsh circumstances. There was a time in my life when I would only sleep for 4 hours a day 2am to 6am and I did this for 2 years. Some good things w

Amazing visualization. I didn't know that MCU > Star Wars + Harry Potter. Also thought that DC had completely messed up the movie franchise but looks like they still clawed out $2B. Not that bad in my books.

I think Disney+ will be a good counter to the content offering from Netflix. The current issue I have with Netflix original content is that at any point the shows can transition into a porno. Their content seems to be unnecessarily crude an

Being a rich executive is essentially a get out of jail free card in America. Only good outcome for us commoners is that they can't screw us in the same way again. They have to invent a new way next time.

Some people are excited about Uber having a more diversified business than Lyft. Uber Freight, Uber Eats, Jump bikes and e scooters are some of their offerings. However, currently the revenue they generate (or don't) is completely dwar

The current situation can be partly blamed on the quantitative easing undertaken by the Fed post 2008 housing crisis. By printing trillions of dollars out of thin air and using them to bail out AIG and other rich businesses the dollar in ou

In the visualization, Spain is doing better than the US in technology. I find that hard to believe. I am not from either countries but clearly most successful tech companies are housed in US. The Coursera data set may be inversely correlate

I have a separate credit card for tracking my usage of ride sharing services. I can actually give you the exact numbers. It's cost me approximately $6000 over the last 3 years or $2000/year. I think the rides are getting more expe

DL is just a legal requirement. The bigger question is should I be driving sporadically? I find that quite dangerous. Imagine a guy who only drives 3-4 times a year and that too when he is on vacation at some place he has never travelled be

I will have to get a driver's license if this thing crashes. I am part of the problem why Lyft and Uber lose so much money. I have been so lucky that Uber and Lyft became ubiquitous just when I was about to get a DL. I decided against
