While thats true they did fund Airbnb which is 100B. So while they haven't funded anyone that big yet, they have come 1/10 of the way.

None of the above. They are actually cheaper than most alternatives. I believe their "trick" is to maintain accounts in each country such that a cross country remittance doesn't actual involve money movement which saves on fees.

The UK rolled probably rolled out free SMS texts later than the US; the US was one of the first markets that rolled it out. I don't know when whatsapp rolled out there but I'm guessing it pre dates unlimited SMS being ubiquitious.

iMessage has pretty much the same feature set as Whatsapp so US users don't really have a reason to migrate at this point.

SMS is very popular in the US for historical reasons. Many users in other countries (like India) moved to products like Whatsapp because their cell phone plans charged per message but US phone plans have had free SMS pricing for years so we've never had a push here. iPhone is market leader in the US so iMessageis also heavily used since its default for SMS between iOS users.

I'm pretty sure Doordash tracks that and will boot drivers that don't deliver quickly as that affects their bottom line.

It clarifies this in the 2nd paragraph: "sites in Texas have emitted double the amount of the gas than in New Mexico, per unit of production, since 2019"

I moved out of a scientist role into software engineering specifically because I hated the long feedback cycles. My research feedback cycle would be 5-10 years.

Can anyone suggest something that is there anything reasonably priced? I'm willing to pay 5-10x IKEA prices, but most of the products here are 25x IKEA prices. Room and Board is the only place I see that is somewhat attainable on this list. Most of my IKEA pieces last a decade so there is no way I can economically justify these prices.

I have stuff post 2018 which lasts well too but I agree that you have to check the materials list; however, I remember having to do that in the 90s too.

Almost all of my ikea stuff has lasted longer than I wanted it. I have a Poang from 2010, a table from 1998, a bookhshelf from 1994, and a dresser from 2006. Their classics last longer than most of the market.

You forgot to mention that the dependency injection library, Guice, that you were asking about was created by Bob himself!
