Bin Laden - what a non-sense. We buried him at sea for religious reasons even though that goes against Muslim beliefs. If you still believe that Sadam Hussan had weapons of mass de…

Even the center for computing history can't spell "Ada" right... :(

How is Google sponsoring a company hemorrhaging money not charity as well?

Waymo is a money hole it has never got close to making a profit. Think of all that equipment attached to a luxury SUV and the upkeep. The purpose of Waymo is research - you just ge…

This is great news for people who want to buckle themselves into an uncontrollable 70 mph thin-metaled panopticon : P I remember reading that these Waymo cars haven't been allowed …

So muckbang videos are acceptable, but fitness videos aren't.. oh my I would say probably the best thing to come out of the social media tiktok and instagram obsession has been a r…

They are making flat assumptions and trying to recreate the charts from the government CPI, its also a reddit post and not a serious bit of research which examined their actual met…

That's a pretty novel concept - you've inspired me : )

Ok, if you were the government and I asked you to measure rent increases - what would you do? Would you look at the cost of renting on average in a city and compare them to last ye…

There is no way that matches reality, where does the person publishing such a chart even live? Do they buy eggs or pay rent? Here is a real alternative - John William's shadow stat…
