> Modularity would be great too.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't pad the car companies' margins. What's best for th consumer is generally worse for the company.


Cars are highly modular. Parts are shared across as many models as possible. Engine series are designed to last 10-15 years.

The car makers increase their margins by keeping their cars modular.


You are talking about modularity of design, not aftermarket repairability.

Me neither.

Both channels were started because of enjoyment and a sense of purpose, and in his latest video, Derek from Veritasium mentioned that he continued doing it, even after money began rolling in, because it was fun and it helped improve people.

People still do this here.

Why?

I live in India and what I've noticed is that the position of the "refuel your car" fuel pump icon shows where the inlet is.

Hahah. I'm pretty bad at selecting winning stocks. This could be me.

Does anybody know which study or paper this is referencing? Or is it an internal study by Instagram?


This link doesn't seem to work for me. I tried it with archive.ph and then it worked.


I feel like this advice could also somewhat apply to your manner of speaking. I'm a pretty fast speaker, and I've noticed that when I try my best to go slower, I understand what I'm trying to say better, I figure out gaps in logic and errors in the sentence while speaking, instead of after, and I get the message across better. And when I'm giving an impromptu speech of some sort, if I slow down and think about every sentence I say, the sentences stitch themselves together in a better-flowing way, and I enjoy speaking because it sounds better.


I, too, speak ridiculously fast. People laugh at me and some (a lot of) people have problems understanding me. As much as I try, as soon as I am not paying attention I speak at the same pace again. Did you manage to slow down your speech consistently?


I did! It took me a few months though. You just have to work at it a lot and be very conscious of your speech.


Thanks! I will keep trying then. I was starting to assume that was me and that's it.
