I think they'll be a hard sell in rural areas, too... where the Cybertruck isn't really competitive with traditional pickups for the actual things they're used for.

It's cool, though. Even if you don't like the look, there's something whimsical about seeing a vehicle that doesn't look like every other car on the road. I just don't think there's a big enough market for it.

That study stopped short of establishing a link to CTE specifically, which can only be definitively diagnosed postmortem. But smaller autopsy studies have found CTE in former soccer players.

We focus a lot on Boxing and American football, but I suspect the risk of CTE is far more widespread across sports than is talked about (every concussion, hard contact, head impact, etc all add up)

Same goes with startup banks - if you exceed FDIC limits, make sure the difference is in a large institutional bank. Nearly learned this one the hard way.

Trying to save a few basis points in txn fees in very volatile industries comes at a huge risk premium

The more likely explanation (even if the above is technically true) is that Google is not good at cohesive product experiences.

How badly will their product decisions (fumbles) hold back what those models can accomplish? As a token provider, with a decent model, sure. I'd be happy to use them.

But I'm not sure I can easily be convinced to buy into their higher level (ChatGPT-esque) experiences

Apple: check our new vertical touchscreen!

But with all of the AI-discovered exploits I think it'll become more important to keep everything up to date

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Atmospheric mass may be obvious to us, but I suspect it's not nearly as universal knowledge as one may assume.

And I actually assumed at first that they were based on distance from us (terra < luna < sol), so I kept confusing terra and luna.

It must be that time of the cycle again...

That would, in turn, incentivize them to minimize this behavior. And it would alleviate my concerns. Yes, they'll eat the cost occasionally, but they'd arguably still have my business - so they can weigh the benefits of that

I understand that there can be exceptional circumstances. However, I've stayed in more hotels by a factor of at least 25, and this has never happened once. In fact, any minor inconvenience at a hotel is usually remedied promptly, and user reviews generally feel accurate.

Airbnb wouldn't share any information about why the host was allowed to cancel (I understand there may be privacy concerns, but I'm left wondering if they simply found a better paying private offer, given it was for the holiday season and booked well in advance). In one case I found an alternative in the same building, so there was no widespread issue.

Those two are enough to put me off Airbnb forever. I just don't want the additional stress of wondering whether I'll receive a last minute cancellation, even if they're exceedingly rare.

I think, in terms of that aspect, they'll be just fine.

But when it comes to people who do these things as a profession, they'll have to adapt to the norm or really risk narrowing their job prospects

Possibly the best photography book I've come across. It's out of print, but I managed to snag a copy on eBay last year
