Looks like exactly what I've been looking for! Great work! Do you have any plans to distribute a flatpak version? Especially for single person projects, it can save time on packagi…

Ignoring the huge issue of political will, how much more or less effective would street cars be on these lines, compared to buses?

More job opportunities and pay for us then :)

My brother and I came up with an interview process for help desk positions many years ago. It was sort of an open-book exam. He set up a computer and a network printer. I believe h…

I think so. It's my belief that they often times leadership sees software engineers as cogs that can easily be replaced by another. They don't appreciate the years of institutional…

Wow. What was their justification for firing you because of your lack of housing?

You're underestimating how connected the world economies and supply chains are. You seem to be huffing some serious copium if you're sure your daughter will be fine.

Humanity may survive, but not the modern civilization and the quality of life that we enjoy.

"In the Wall Street Journal story in May, the Petersons said they bought the home in 2007 for $16.65 million, invested $10 million in renovations and decided to sell it because the…

Sorry that you're suffering this way. It's infuriating to me that people downplay Covid infections when the risk of suffering from long Covid effects is very real.

Maybe the problems in Chicago's education are outside of the scope of the teachers?

Wow. Thanks for the response. That's pretty bad.

I believe it, but do you have a source? I have a few friends I'd like to inform of this.

They'll rationalize their behavior, just like most of us do. "All the other companies are already doing it", "No one cares about privacy", "It's not my decision", "We need this dat…

There is no solution. The industrialized nations used the externality of carbon emissions to build their current status. These nations are unwilling to subsidize and compensate dev…

It's not exactly fair for industrialized nations to have taken advantage of the externality of their historic carbon emissions, but then prevent developing nations from doing the s…

Exactly. The cumulative emissions of the United States dwarf the rest of the countries in the world[1]. The powerhouse that is the United States was built on the externality of car…

> For example, it takes me 20 minutes to go from 1 side of the city to the other. Using the bus routes, its 2 hours. This is the predominant reason why people don't use public tran…

Public ISPs, power companies, and healthcare are examples where the government does it cheaper. Profit is unnecessary cost.

The landlords pass the costs of property taxes onto their tenants in their rents. So who is really paying for them?

It's mostly the poor and middle-class that use public transportation, so ending fares for it is helpful to their finances. Also, there are tremendous operating cost savings to a fr…
