Should it completely melt, scientists have long warned that it contains enough water to raise sea levels by more than two feet worldwide — hence its ominous nickname.” [// The Byte »]( [/noms] [Dice Cream - Dessert technology just got cooler — and a whole lot more autonomous | [Partner]]( [Dessert technology just got cooler — and a whole lot more autonomous]( Years from now, we’ll forget that ice cream was ever scooped by hand. Why? Because the dessert industry is getting automatednbsp;— by way of a robotic arm that scoops and serves ice cream entirely on its own. Dice Cream, named for its signature square-shaped scoops, is introducing its highly efficient robotic servers to malls, arenas, and campuses, giving high-traffic areas easier access to sweet treats. With a functioning prototype and plans to test-run the product across Asia, Dice Cream is looking to bring automated ice cream to The States.

Which of these trades saves more gas: A) Swapping a car that gets 25 miles per gallon (MPG) for one that gets 50 MPG, or B) Replacing a car that gets 10 MPG with one that gets 15 MPG? If you said that A conserves more gas, you’re mistaken. And it’s not even close. … If you answered wrong, don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve succumbed to the MPG Illusion, a widespread fallacy that can easily distort perceptions of a car’s efficiency and muddle debates about transportation and climate policy.” [// Vox »]( [/yikes] [The world's revolt against 'bad tourists' | BBC]( [The world's revolt against 'bad tourists']( “As the recent rallies in the Canary Islands have highlighted, many residents in over-touristed places increasingly want a better type of tourist. … On the yes list: tourists who spend money in local shops, boost the local economy, and behave respectfully.

Many people will tell you that giving up .25% or .50% of equity for an "advisor" isn't worth it. I argue those people just didn't know how to extract the value out of the relationship or simply picked the wrong advisor. And in many cases, the value is provided in one conversation 4, 5, or even 10 years down the road when that advisor makes an intro that leads to an M&A or fundraising event.
