Yep it's rotten. I think the intuitive revulsion many feel toward the Polymarket is simply due to the unfairness of it.

They could just make a device that fits in a regular pocket. Most phones are too big now.

Good riddance. These guys had like 40% forecast accuracy, worse than random. When they say the winter will warmer it will be colder and vice versa.

Right? Spreadsheets have such a low barrier of entry. I use Google Sheets in a middle of a farm field to enter plant growing records on my cell phone. I don't even have good recept…

Just find zen and stop giving a shit, buddy.

I see how Google has a vested interest in hollowing out communities to the point you have nobody to text to refer you to a cleaner. I frequently see such requests in a local Facebo…

Something like 60% of a coffee shop Cost of Goods Sold is rent. You aren't really paying for coffee when you sit down with a cup.

It's worse. With plumbing, at least you can see what you are doing. Vibe code? One day, it just breaks and you don't know why.

Most doors in public places need to open to the outside for ease of evacuation in case of an emergency.

They classify a lot of it as R&D and write it off taxes. Taxpayers foot the bill.

Last year Hostgator suddenly changed the conditions of my plan without any warning at a renewal time so I "conveniently" went over the storage quota, then shut me down. I had to pa…

BTW Covid harms pancreatic cells that produce insulin via autoimmune mechanisms.

People do quit when it's hard so instead of overriding the very human nature why not work with it? We all saw the "draw the owl" picture. Step 1 is easy step 2 is easy but then the…

Exactly this. It's only us peons who will be prosecuted under the current copyright laws. The rich and well connected will base their entire business on blatant theft and will get …

I think the difference between Waymo and Uber is risk level. Maybe Waymo would like to skirt regulations but they won't be allowed to by citizens and officials alike.
