Maybe the key would be to keep the artificial diamond ring at a similar price point. Larger, designer brand, more manual labor details, I don’t know. Not saving money, but get a superior product.
I don't think Google is quite as neutral here. Google suggests adding "cheater" to the search of the victim's names and ranks those websites.
What if the manual of the hammer included a section "try hitting someone with it".
Now, Google's recommendation clearly came from seeing those words appear together, but to me Google is somewhere between completely neutral like grep, a hammer, or a car and fully editorialized like a blog or newspaper.
You’ll end up main connections and smaller ones to reach smaller destinations. This doesn’t mean it needs a single center like Paris. Compare the map to Germany where there are roughly 3 parallel fast North-South lines not focused on a single center.
This reminds me of Sol LeWitt. Some of his art is just a simple set of instructions that can be followed by other people to "install" by strictly following them and drawing on walls [1].
There are a lot more examples in art that many people could replicate easily, but only the artist came up with the idea.
I'd love to see the typical breakdown of where those 5% go in a hot market like San Francisco. At a median price of $1.5mil, that's $75k in commission. I never bought a home, but that seems like it should buy a lot of services.
I’d say change. More money in the podcast industry should also result in higher production value. More money will also push some of the independent content a bit to the sidelines.

Yet many drivers do this full time. Why should ride share companies be excluded from worker protections that apply to other companies?
Could Amazon convert to a gig-economy for warehouse workers where you sign up via an app?
There are certainly some folks who drive just a few hours a week and the companies like to highlight that by releasing stats like “% of drivers drive less then 5 hours”. I think “% of driver time by drivers over 35h/week” would paint a different picture and show just how much they rely on full time drivers.
It might still be processed in aggregate, but they stop associating years of precise locations to your account.
I’d be surprised if they don’t follow that wish just for PR and legal reasons alone. The fewest people will actually opt out or if they do accidentally opt back in since the “enable web and location data” action appears anywhere from Maps to Google Home setup.
Just looking around Tokio on satellite view: there are a few highways, but nothing compared to the many-layered intersections you see in US cities like Los Angeles or San Diego.
I don't know anything about home robots, but to me this seems to be the first design that is practical to bring to consumers. Not 2 human arms (or even legs) and some expensive face, but instead just a Roomba-ish base, telescope arm with grabber that moves up and down, camera on top.
I assume the merchant fees are the same either way.
