What if the followup procedure is invasive and expensive? It's possible that this procedure could be net negative in aggregate depending on the % of false positives and # of resulting needless followup procedures. Not to mention the emotional stress.

I'd still expect the AMD version to have better battery life because the numbers are probably 30% lower across the board right?

> While I'm ranting, why do they let basements or single floors of a shared house count as an 'entire place'? It's really weird to turn up and see you're actually in a basement in the owners house with their kids stomping around upstairs.

Would you describe a room in a hotel as an "entire place" or a "shared space"?

Genuinely curious -- do you have a source for this?

Do you have any sources on that? I have family in the hotel industry and anecdotally the entire industry in my area took a nose dive in the last recession. Not quite the same as general demand for travel but it's more relevant to how Airbnb would perform in a recession.

Have you been making a (literal) apples to apples comparison though? I find that farmer's markets in my area (Seattle) can be cheaper than Whole Foods for organic locally sourced things in season but definitely more expensive than going to a regular grocery store.

It's interesting that you associate an American of (likely) Chinese descent with Chinese culture.

Already mentioned in another comment, see LTCM as a prime example:

I think it's that the goal posts have shifted, i.e. distribution used to be the bottleneck for alot of people but now that it's easy (for internet businesses) there's a new bottleneck.

There's so much stuff on the internet that it's a problem of discovery, which is why Google became so dominant.
