sgwealti··on Sam Altman Seeks Trillions of Dollars to Reshape Business of Chips and AI
If there was that large of a market for it why wouldn’t existing suppliers just scale their production?
sgwealti··on Poll: Should I compile my thoughts about addiction?
It might help someone, or help change how we help (or don't help) people struggling with addiction. Go for it.
sgwealti··on NGP VAN layoffs have Democrats worried about 2024
It’s an election campaign CRM that allows you to identify and turn out your voters.
sgwealti··on Back-end languages are coming to the front-end
Not mentioning ClojureScript in an article like this is an odd omission.

Well that’s terrifying.
sgwealti··on The Great Barrington Declaration
I find this hard to take seriously since it doesn’t say anything about comprehensive testing and contact tracing.
sgwealti··on Who is Dave Clark, the new chief of Amazon’s giant retail business?
He sounds like an asshole.
sgwealti··on AMP Stories Builder, Tools and Editor – MakeStories
What are AMP stories?

Graham not being able to appreciate something until he experiences it himself is peak PG.
sgwealti··on They Fixed the Keyboard
5 hours of use is not much time.
sgwealti··on Snopes Under Legal Attack from Salon.com
Thanks for the background. I'm sympathetic to Snopes but it's very un-Snopes-like for them to leave this context out of their post.
sgwealti··on Why Self-Checkout Is and Has Always Been the Worst
Even with all their problems I still prefer self checkout for three reasons: 1) Speed due to the line being shorter and being able to scan and pay for my items quicker than the cashier typically can 2) not having to interact with a stranger if I don't feel like it and 3) I can bag my items the way I like them to be bagged.
sgwealti··on Bloomberg’s ‘The Big Hack’
What if Apple or Amazon didn't find the chips but other investigators found them in Apple/Amazon servers. That would make their denial wording technically true. They didn't say no chips were found, they just said they didn't find any.
sgwealti··on Ask HN: What do you think about product hunt? [producthunt.com]
Even the stupidest product ideas make the front page. I would hate to see what gets discarded.
sgwealti··on Why aren't government employees held accountable for their abuses of power?
Why aren't corporate employees held accountable for their abuses of power? I think there's more accountability in government because government records are generally open to the public vs corporate records which are private.
sgwealti··on Ask HN: Does FB's chronological sort work for you?
It's completely inconsistent. I would expect to see reverse chronological of all activity of everyone I follow but whatever it is it's not that. I can't really identify how it chooses which posts to display.
sgwealti··on Ask HN: Does FB's chronological sort work for you?
No, it hasn't worked for years.
sgwealti··on Airbnb hosts can kick you out after you’ve checked in
He sounds like kind of an ass. Whenever I stay at an Airbnb I try to minimize any disruption as if I were staying at a friend's house. Is it this guy? https://www.logankugler.com/

What evidence is there that there is a genetic component?

If anything it should be split into 3 companies - retail, logistics, and AWS.
sgwealti··on Can Uber Ever Deliver? Even After 4Q Cost Cuts, Uber Lost $4.5B in 2017
Couldn't they "double" their revenue by doubling their prices and giving everyone a 50% discount?
sgwealti··on Can Uber Ever Deliver? Even After 4Q Cost Cuts, Uber Lost $4.5B in 2017
In the claim in the article that they're inflating top line revenue growth, is the argument that they're selling a $100 ride but giving a $20 discount and calling it $100 in top line revenue?
sgwealti··on Robinhood Crypto – Invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
How are they transferring the BTC to your wallet without paying the network/mining/transaction fees?
sgwealti··on Facebook's Adam Mosseri on Why You'll See Less Video, More from Friends

sgwealti··on Confidential metrics for Snapchat features
None of the stories in the Discover section ever appeal to me. Snapchat is great for sexting and in the gay community is used by a lot of people to create/share amateur porn. Maybe they could monetize that somehow.
sgwealti··on As of today, no US passenger airlines operate the Boeing 747
Pretty sure there are US freight airlines that still use 747s.
