That is social interaction stripped to bare metal.

> I'm so glad they haven't been accepted into the EU. That would be a disaster.

At that time though Turkey would have been a real welcome growth addition to the EU.

2005 +9% growth, the year the EU opened accession negotiations with Turkey.

What is more scarce than gold but is trading at the price of milk?

Isn't Looker a talent acquisition for Data Studio?

Any other "solution" results in a local maximum. If I learned one thing last years of all the denying is that you cannot put the bar high enough especially when it concerns long term planning of the ecosystem of Earth. Just realize where we would be today if climate change was taken seriously in the 1960's. Let's not make that same mistake with plastic all over again.

Generics ARPU is still above $300 / year. New generic only requires 24 people to get FDA approval.

Could you elaborate on this?

Could you tell me more about that?

From the bottom up in an organization you only see the Peter Principle at work. From top down you realize this is just a matter of perspective because from the top you witness an additional layer of narcissism and then piramide is called the Gervais principle. This is actually the default mode many companies end up in.

Love it when I could swipe the cards from the deck with headlines I don't care about.

Thanks guys I just named a few and figured out you were hanging out here so I gave you something to do.

That's especially for people like you that love to find an easter egg.

Taking in to account that NYT is quitting 3th party advertisement cold turkey [0], this would mean the NYT will publish anything that ensures the future existence of the NYT. Even if it means fluffing up an octogenarian with a visual deteriorating memory function against a thoroughbred Arabian horse in the race. Run Forrest, Run!

A hack on the turbo of an ICE car sounds pretty out dated to me.

Companies do a font fork to stop paying for the royalties for the most famous ones. Millions of pages for an unlimited amount of time adds up to more than the cost to create a shiny new font i.e. $50k. This is probably one of the first cost hacks technology companies figured out before big finance.

Who wants to bet Barclay, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank do not have their own font by 2030?

To maximize tax collected on cigarettes prices rise every year with a few percent which compounds to doubling the price in 10 years. If you want people to stop smoking a government would double the price over night, but that would hurt their ability to collect tax and we can't have that happening can we?

I read both of them twice. I found the concept in the Black Swan more distilled and polished. I started with the Black Swan for the 3th last week. I still come to new insights because what Taleb writes cuts also today straight through reality. Its like an extra set of razors, a timeless tool.

This is probably related to Facebook Aquila [0] drone project with the ambition to deliver internet to the whole world. MVP successful in 2016 and more developments in 2020.

With Tesla launching Starlink it wouldn't be a surprise with Zuckerberg's competitiveness that he upgrades this specific part in his gameplay.

In the words of Jim Collins to maximize the impact of the limited supply of gunpowder companies should first try to hit the the target with a riffle and with the knowledge of a success, aim the canon and hit the target at first attempt.

I second this. The most efficient frontier in communication between engineers and designers is about striving for simplicity by stripping visualization to stick figure like representation.

Could you give some examples of these outliers?

I do not know any successful entrepreneurs that project vulnerability nor self-doubt. For a VC's that's a big no no. So you have made me curious and this is a sincere question.

> the outliers in successful entrepreneurship are the ones that project vulnerability/self-doubt,

Isn't it exactly the other way around? Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg have a reality distortion field. The outliers in entrepreneurship sell a new world that they are going to create. When Elon Musk started talking about electric cars and space travel to Mars 99% of the people thought he was batshit crazy.

A small percentage of gorillas do have a human like white sclera. Linked article includes pictures.

> Out of the 60 western lowland gorillas they considered, only 30% had completely dark scleras. The remaining 70% had some degree of white in their eyes. Of these, a small sample of 7% had all white, human-like sclera.

For a big part it is the social media game. Sites like phantom buster help you automate these activities so you can focus on your core business.

It is a mystery to me how most newspaper are going to survive with a president like Joe Bidden.

I really love the dark theme of Sourcegraph in VsCode.

> The only reason the correct packaging was used is because the Chinese wrote to them and said, 'Aren't you making a mistake here?' If that had not happened, the scientists would have placed on an Air Canada flight, several of them actually, a deadly virus incorrectly packaged. That nearly happened," Attaran said.

That sounds extremely reckless for a scientist who knows what they are shipping.

What a heroic story! How long and how many people where involved solving the problem?

Wouldn't it be smart to switch all models to the 100kWh battery and thereby lowering the cost of unnecessary manufacturing complexity?

Isn't Tesla using the insight of the big O notation to reduce manufacturing complexity by keeping the BOM parts as low and as simple as possible?

Only the fact their Information Dominance Center is build to resemble the Bridge of the USS Enterprise of Star Trek.
