Your example contradicts you.

2K, 4K, and 8K+ TVs have been around forever, and although 4K has become the norm, it's widely accepted that there isn't much benefit for most people above 1080p

Please never check your phone while the film is playing. Major faux pas.

This is pretty cool, but seems like a massive waste of time for Tesla.

The impact of this is that countless trips will be significantly longer, costing citizens time and gas, and pollute the atmosphere.

Remember to turn your AC down for the good of the planet!

There are people who do this at scale, often reselling online. It's definitely for those who are truly passionate about it, and enjoy discovering new things.

I gave it a shot, and while profitable, just not for me at all.

This is so par for the course for Elon's companies.

He will extract as much as possible, whenever possible.

The bar is just so high, everywhere.

I want to fire off a quick quip and have a conversation.

Reddit is probably the only place where this works any more, but you have to be prompted by the right thread and early.

So people throw up their hands and go, "why bother?"

How timely, I'm writing this from a Pixel 10 Pro Fold I bought in January.

Last night I opened it to find the inside screen having dead pixels in the center by the bend.

I love foldable phones. I use it all the time in both modes, but now I'm currently procrastinating looking up my best buy warranty plan specifics.

For a small percentage of mobile superusers, I really do believe foldables are the future. Having the ability to use desktop mode by default, or multitask, is huge.

Looks like this data only goes until May 2025, so it's a year out of date. Also, overall employment is still up 0.8%

I read that book, and my recommendation is to skip the third act, which is painfully repetitive.

In fact, coming from a finance background, I didn't find the book in general to be particularly insightful, and much more ragebait / policy oriented (which makes sense given the author was a DOJ Antitrust prosecutor)

Great channel, thanks for sharing.

I'm not clear how they came to the steady state solution, or how it is memorizable, or is it just intended to be brute forced at that point?

At some point long ago, I was bored and memorized a whole bunch of openings and intuitive rules, and would end up with a 90%+ win rate. Lots of fun.

My apologies, you are right, I was misled, it is not true.

Unfortunately I can no longer edit/delete my original comment.

Super cool site design, I'll have to go back and look at all the other stories.

I didn't realize IVF was such a brutal process. 932 needles sounds like insanity, not to mention everything else. I'll carry a lot more compassion for those going through IVF going forward, and a lot more excitement for those able to concieve naturally.
