They say they’re taking about tensile strength at the footnote. But teeth would be more likely to be compressively strong. They don’t get pulled on much.

The whole thing seems very confused. Anyway let’s build space elevator?

Thanks! Any rough guesses how the jlens might work? I can’t even seem to hazard a conception.

Maybe model performance could increase dramatically if we found a way to scale this up.

> The feeling is that it is pointless since technology would just do it for you.

Why walk or jog of the car can do it for you?

Even if so, once I realized how pointless doomscrolling is I figured I might as well use that time to learn something pointless.

Surprisingly Amazon is actually pretty constrained. There are usually only 3-10 versions of a given product but sold by hundreds of different resellers.

When I was shopping for a water distiller there was only one large one but branded for ten different Chinese companies. (And They all had the same dangerous flaw where water could spill on the electrical plug.)

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be against this but it seems like if the percentage is limited and they’re non voting shares then it should be ok.

I guess preferential treatment could be the only issue?

There were a bunch of internet golden era but I think the last one was the rise of blogs and rss.

Really cool times when lots of people published blogs and everyone had rss readers.

Honestly just market to customers that feel deceived. They just log in and enter an address and post a review. No listing data needed.

You could get really sophisticated with quality checking reviews.

(We tend to believe all review systems have to be bad because that’s all we see. But most reviews systems are broken because a working system is a conflict of interest for the platform they’re on.)

Honestly a great start up would be a review system for house listings.

Users can rate how accurate the description was, the real life flaws and even upload their own photos.

Side note: last time I looked for a house I really wasted 95% of my time because every house had one unique major flaw that would have made me not even bother going to see it.

I agree but didn’t the iPhone come out around 2007? Wouldn’t that be the date rather than 2014?

It’s funny every profession deals with customers making their own guesses at diagnosis.

I told my mechanic the film flam is broken but he said it was the rim ram. He fixed it and we all went in with our lives.

But doctors insist on this God like status so it’s a “nightmare” when patients try to help themselves.
