https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation This already exists and is starting to gain popularity for new builds. It’s also not that expensive to retrofit, but is mo…

It's raining on the launch pad right now. We'll be lucky if the launch happens, but likely postponed to tomorrow's launch window.

Today I took the time to read through the old comments I've made, and found the experience very helpful for my personal growth. With enough time passed, I can see the kind of perso…

I went down this road towards the beginning of my career. I tried split keyboards, ergo mice, keyboard tray, new chair, etc. There are a couple things that matter in ergonomics, ma…

This statement is not even close to true. At a particular point in time, different CDNs can have very different performance even for the same ISP in the same region.

That has got to be one of the most poorly designed websites I've ever seen. I'm on a wired desktop and it's barely loading. Why are there like 5-10 physical inch gaps between secti…

I'm genuinely curious why they bothered publishing this in its current state. They don't make tax calculations, so they assume you're paying rent with untaxed income, which makes t…

Are you trying to bury your head in the sand? My situation is probably drastically determined by some stranger 200 years ago who decided hopping in a pile of potatoes on barge head…

The problem with pinning responsibility on that parent is, the original decision that led to this situation may predate the parent. Maybe they were raised by a single mom with many…

People tend to forget information that is not useful to them. The age old problem with school curriculum is so much of it doesn't apply to day to day or even professional know-how.…

In real estate, you are correct. A buyer's market in real estate means a good time to buy a house. A seller's market is a good time to sell a house. A renter's market is a good tim…

I wish there was a technical name for this cycle! The pattern seems to happen in every industry over time. 1. Someone sets out to change the world and make a lot of money by buildi…

I was an early user of Coursera. I really enjoyed and completed three classes and thought it was the future of education. Since then, they've tried to monetize and in the process t…

And your argument degenerated to stupidity. Do you think there's no difference in effort it takes to do well for your employees when you have to argue with an employee unfriendly p…

These results aren't very surprising because this is about interviewing performance. The goal of bootcamps is "teach you enough to get a job"; they're basically gaming the intervie…

I recently interviewed with Asana, and unfortunately would review their process as the opposite of what they're going for. The first sentence is not far off from what their process…

I agree with how you want to conduct the PR or RFC process, where it's annoying if people are being negative without providing an alternative. I do however agree with the parent wh…

I think your analysis is spot on. Improving is a slightly more complex cycle. Improvement looks something like this: Do -> analyze strengths and weaknesses -> try to do better. Tha…

Beautiful arguments. What's the solution put forward? Being critical is easy, but what's something better we can build with the internet?

They're using a legal loophole, charging the property with being complicit in a crime, not the person. So the piles of money they seize aren't protected by the constitution. This i…

Why? Your "shoulds" sound like arbitrary rules to make some people comfortable at other peoples' expense.

Their contract with Starbucks is ending soon. Going forward their reader fees will be profitable to the company.
