They’re building one for stars within 10 parsecs of the sun ( and more specifically for Alpha Centauri) which should launch in the next year
Go to a good fire and brimstone preacher and sit in the pews for a while and whatever comes out of his mouth is far less hellish than the job market today.
the story is about Joe Kennedy and his shoeshine boy
It’s vibes investing to match the vibes coding
if the truck becomes popular enough post-market modifications will probably be sold as an extra.
“We don’t have a manufacturing culture,” Mr. Gassée said of the nation’s high-technology heartland, “meaning the substrate, the schooling, the apprentices, the subcontractors.”
Silicon Valley still doesnt have any of those.
news is a social good while social media in its current form is a social ill.
He’s 100 percent correct and if you disagree you underestimate the effects of the Fax Machine on the economy and over-estimate the effects of the internet of 2005.

if you believe the conspircy theory that Satoshi was created by an intelligence agency, then having it discovered would make a some people wary of using it.
Puerto Rico would be a better American analogue for Greenland, California would be more like Syddanmark.
Things besides money also matter.
To people, not politicians
The thing about sputnik is that everyone knew that the soviets would launch a satellite before America did but people freaked out when they actually saw or heard that bleeping ball hovering over there head.
depends on the gang. the older gangs refuse to accept non-natives, so the newer gangs enroaching on their turf do.
majority of the scandanavian crime wave isnt due to immigration but drug dealing native biker gangs
reels suck. American apps like instagram and twitter focus on selling users information to advertisers while chinese apps like tiktok and Rednote focus on selling advertisements to users, and the later produces higher quality FYPs and less slop.
In five or six years you will have american consumer apps pretending to be chinese, like Haagen Daez or Matsui
Silicon Valley's obsession with high-margin SaaS is kinda similar to Detroit's fixation on high-margin gas-guzzlers – both overlooked the disruptive potential of foreign competitors focused on what consumers actually want
more that execs are looking for an excuse to tell their board of directors why sales are falling that doesnt include online ordering. the movement to E-Commerce is a double hit to stores because not only do they directly lose sales but when something is ordered from their stores (on e.g -doordash) they have to put people on packaging those goods- which they see no income from and makes the brick-and-mortar store less staffed.
Even if shoppifting tripled it would be minuscule in the overall scheme of things. Groceries pay 2 dollars per dozen eggs to farmers and have to toss out them out every few days, wastage-wise it’s basically a blip
if im reading a big sci-fi anthrology, i just search for key-terms that interest me and read the stories that contain them (eg, robot, colony,planet etc)
barely growing global disposable income.
It feels like global disposable income isn’t growing but that’s not true because the list of necessities increase the more income increases, if you lived like a person in the 90’s did you could save a huge amount of money,
gift it to me. it is the season after all.
or you could just direct an asteroid of the right size into that location.
I was the opposite, when reading the novels I always felt a female vibe from murderbot so when the news came out about the tv series and the actor that was chosen to portray them it kinda shocked me and forced me to wonder why i assumed that.
It explicitly said so to me a few days ago when i queried it.
i thought this was the slang version of ops (opposition) for a minute and that was a very confusing 60 seconds.
This sounds interesting! are you guys hiring for any soft skill role like business or Human Resources?

7 PM is 1 Saac
6 AM is 12 Saac
Unfortunately Twitter Matts (Matt Yglesias, Matt Bruenig etc) are an invasive species to blue sky, and the native species don’t know that annoyance and anger is what they feed on.
90 percent of failed products aren’t failed in terms of functionality- actual scams are rare- what makes them fail is that they don’t appeal to the majority of consumers. Google glass may have worked but it looked nerdy which wouldn’t be a negative here, but not to the casual Black Friday electronic consumer.
