I feel this way about the vaccine. “95% effective at preventing infection” etc etc. I really believed it would stop transmission which we also know now is not true. Should have bee…

There’s nothing wrong with a $1.70m toilet either.

So how do we fix it without adding yet another layer? All the govt seems to do is add more layers.

The major news outlets are just mouth pieces for the intelligence communities. Many of us learned that with the Iraq war. Others learned it with Palestine, Russiagate. The rest wil…

The sheer amount of puff pieces written about this guy and what he’s doing tells me all I need to know about the situation.

“But it’s symbolic” is literally the cope of our generation. It means practically nothing and we must demand more than symbolism.

Nothing in here about disabling adware, which is pretty much the only thing I care about.

We’re already seeing a huge disparity between states, with strong enforcement of social distancing NOT correlating with a reduced death rate. The point is we don’t fully know yet w…

As the saying goes, don’t build a tower until you’ve counted the costs, because of you only get it built halfway people will mock you. All of these changes look good and quite fran…

How do I prevent this? Is there something I can do to block localhost (RFC 1918) port scanning?

Consent.

I like hobby lobby because it’s one of the few places I can get good craft supplies for my kids, I suppose that’s why I “shilled” for them here (your words). Besides, I think the n…

We have some forms of this, such as the earned income tax credit, but it doesn’t go nearly far enough. I like the the idea of a reverse income tax at the lower levels and wish it w…

Consider how all sides are pretty fractured, left and right. Policies that were widely popular for the political right a decade ago (free, unrestricted trade) is now dead in the wa…

Who is “we” and how can I help?

I don’t think anyone except fiber providers are offering more than 10 mbps upload. Because piracy is an existential problem for Comcast (owner of NBCUniversial among others) there’…
