I know the feeling. Except it’s with two toddlers and an infant. My wife and I joke about how we used to feel overwhelmed with our first child and now watching just one is the easy job (I have one climbing up my head right now while the other is using my leg as a seesaw). It should get more tolerable with time and…

I’m not disagreeing that I think Keurig machines are restrictive and I wouldn’t want one... but a fair number of people did and still do. I think we both actually generally agree on what products we personally think are worth buying. I think the difference is that you are applying projecting your personal opinion as a…

It is just another juicer, except that you can’t use your own fruit/vegetables.

Is there a similar product already available? Starbucks didn’t invent coffee, or the coffeehouse. Lululemon & Under Armor didn’t invent clothes, or create a demand for them. Beats is just another (shitty) headphone company. Whole Foods is just another supermarket.

Everybody knows that halitosis is a bullshit disease.

Yes, but the invention of halitosis by the mouthwash marketers created an artificial demand for mouthwash.

Those companies [Starbucks, Lululemon, Under Armour, Beats, Whole Foods] were meeting a demand that was already there.

To be fair there are plenty example where selling and overpriced (or “premium”) item that’s already on the market made people very rich as well - Starbucks, Lululemon, Under Armour, Beats, Whole Foods....

Personally, I have a minor issue with calling Juicero juicer as part of the “tech industry” unless you are willing…

I see... the gas powers a generator. I stand corrected. So the electric motor IS running all the time. So can the gasoline powered generator keep the car running if the battery depleted?

According to the article you linked to around 200,000 of those miles were using the gasoline engine instead of the electric motor (as the Chevy Volt is a hybrid). So it was a less obvious test of the durability of the battery and electric motor as both were used more intermittently (whereas on an EV the electric motor…

The problem is physics/reality versus armchair engineering

Solar energy is just not fast enough. 300 sq ft of solar panels gives you have 6kW of electric on a sunny day. For a 140 kWh battery, it would literally take you ~24 hours of perfect sunshine date to recharge the battery (or double the range). In reality, you…

As someone who works for a company that depends on ad revenue. I can tell you while Google does make money from the ads on these blackhat SEO’d site, they are probably making less money than they could if that traffic went to legitimate sites.

That’s because in general, blackhat SEO sites have poor “true” search…

It also happens in “Ninja Scroll”

I want a Mythbuster special episode to test this when ballistic gel brain dummies.

Adding to my previous post.

I think they just ignored reality (as the game itself intentionally does for the sake of fun). If they wanted to make it more realistic, they should have made it more Ellen Ripley-esque. Mei was a lone researcher in Antarctica, setting up shop in secret on her own, she gets trapped in an…

There are plenty of plot holes. How can the antenna, helicopter, and truck be relatively uncovered and yet the truck is FILLED with snow? I mean we see a snowstorm, I’ve been in a storm in California where it was snowing a foot of snow per hour.

If a solar panel can recharge Snowball, why doesn’t she use that in the…

Put a very heavy weight on the inside top of a tire and the tire will roll uphill (as the weight rolls down towards the ground). It much the same weight as a 1000-ton ship can float (because the equivalent volume of water is actually heavier).

There is a similar app call Fill’d that does the same thing. They charge the average of three closest gas stations (I compared it to prices from the gas buddy app and it was pretty close) to your delivery address plus a $3 delivery fee. That delivery fee is waived if someone else already ordered gas on the block (such…

So she is merely a symbol. Like a red shirt talking about what he’s going to do after his tour of duty is done right before dying on Star Trek to tell you that “space is dangerous” and Captain Kirk vows to avenge you. I’m sorry, but I don’t think that is much better.

“The meeting between Kalanick and Page finally happened three days after that email exchange.” and excerpted an email sent on March 7, 2015. Waymo partnered with Lyft May 14, 2017 - over two years later (and AFTER Google filed it’s lawsuit against Uber).
