Key word being public . People from the industries he operates in were screaming from the rooftops about him for years. Tech people chose to actively ignore their colleagues in automotive and space. I remember the circumstances that led to

Too early to write closing arguments on this. A vengeful future administration might make us realize that the entire transaction was a huge mistake.

Wish we had the level of renewables in the West that China has. Their pricing is supposedly now 7-11 cents per kwH (as opposed to 20-30 cents kwh average in the states). This would further enable usage of all computing instead of tossing it

Spirit Airlines has had a perfect safety record with no passenger fatalities and every plane that ever took off from its 34 year history landed safely. I'd trust them more than other airlines.

I can understand this for Nvalny given I think CNN help with the production...but Knock Down the House was an indie producer and just happened to choose AOC as one of four candidates she was covering. When it was filmed I don't think t

That is such a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing! I was able to experience the movie in a very special way. In New York BAM Rose Cinemas was running a special 35mm press of the film one week before its official debut. Edgar Wright did

Well $27.99 is for IMAX/Dolby/other premium format. Thats the hook I guess. People do shell out but only for the big blockbuster. The other movies are like the stuff you can watch using your Netflix account so a lot of non franchi

Toyota's philosophy is polishing mature technology and small gradual iteration that supports that goal. That is not "skating to where the puck is going to be". With that philosophy Apple would never have developed the iPhone.

Sounds like you should be visiting Alamo Drafthouse. They take these things extremely seriously and are for the real fans. Here is their ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3eeC2lJZs Unfortunately since they already filed

I think you are seeing a slice of the full picture. This app is not accurately showing all empty screens. While all of those are ideas that are increasing viewership there is still so much dead weight. Whether these things offset the dead w

On the one hand Its fun to watch movies alone on a big screen. My area of NJ apparently could care less about movies like Knock Down The House(Biography of AOC and other house candidates), Navalny (Movie about the murdered politician opposi

Studio contracts: The movies are delivered digitally on encrypted hard disks and when playing there is a ton of telemetry sent back to the studios. They are watching the theaters like its 1984. Studios have contracts indicating the play wil

I don't disagree with you at all. Ads suck. But that ship sailed a long time ago. Just to provide some more context to AMC. They are a US national chain and they don't run "commercials" just lots of trailers. They have r

I have been quite a heavy patron of AMC theaters these past few years since COVID ended. I have seen A LOT of movies play to empty theaters. I used to actually peek at many of the rooms when I left my movie and so many were downright empty.

Well we have cool projects like CollapseOS the problem is that there is so much undocumented silicon out there that cant be used without massive efforts. I know several "gold scrappers" and its such a shame that they trash great c

In one of Dwarkesh's interviews, he mentioned that China is trying to replicate the entire stack. Ironically now that they have mastered all pieces of the stack for older nodes, they actually have an advantage in a collapse scenario. T

If I could do it all over again I would jump at the chance to live in that $5000 roach pit instead of wasting my life in the middle of bumfuckstan. It is one of my biggest regrets in life. Its insane how such a tiny fraction of land produce

How do you center the wax consistently? How about regulating the amount? I used to send wax stamped envelopes as new years letters to friends but have stopped because both the pour method and the glue gun method don't ever seem to prod

This is the problem. It's as if everything has to crash and burn for people like the person you responded to finally get some sense. By that point, it will be too late to catch up to our competitors overseas. The race will be over. I h

Yes just rechecked and you are right. I am not a CA native (was just visiting LA) and so happy to see that this is available. I originally thought they just subsidized degrees for only "first degree" seeking students. Maybe I need

When I graduated in the early 2010s I recall the number was closer to ~35%. Honestly given the economy today and the expectations of employers of having a college degree for even basic stuff, these numbers seem pretty low. In Europe only ab

In 2024, 42.8% of the population ages 25 to 39, 41.5% ages 40 to 54, and 34.2% age 55 and older held a bachelor’s degree or higher. [1]: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/educatio... That do

God I wish community college would be subsidized. Some states now cover it for your first degree which is a great start and some also are now starting to subsidize courses for retirees but man I would so love to just go and do like random c

Careful folks, some users may encounter a short ear piercing loud buzzing sound as it boots up and initializes sound. For a moment, my soul left my body there ha ha. Turn your volume down before launching.

Ha! I got raked over the coals when I asked for some help in a vintage Apple subreddit. I described the problem, what I tried to do to solve it and at the very end I also mentioned that I asked AI and that it gave me an absurd answer. So ma
