    My guess is the ROI is provided by people giving up before they actually get help from a human.

    I agree with your assessment here, but one additional benefit is the capability to iterate faster on the backend. You have control over _where_ the aggregated data is coming from w…

    Lots of countries in South America also have socialized healthcare and it’s terrible. The question is, “Is America’s competency with government programs more similar to South Ameri…

    ACLU is a shadow of what it once was. Their unprincipled wavering on free speech ensures that I will not be donating to them. I would, however, love some new recommendations for wh…

    I agree with everything you’re saying here. But I would not want to be the poor sap that paid $625k to live in a place like that. Those prices are insane.

    I was in Amsterdam walking down the street one night and saw a bike just fall into a canal. No one was around except my wife and I. So at least one ended up in the water because so…

    Obviously the former example is written in more positive language than the latter.

    I used to work at a factory that was doing this (loading the trucks for shipping with a robot). It took much longer to implement than expected, but eventually worked pretty well. I…

    This would be important if GDP was at all related to standard of living.

    I think there has to be some kind of subjective measure in the hiring process. Two people could have similarly excellent credentials and experience, but one may have terrible socia…

    I got vaccinated, but this is an incredibly poor argument. The other poster has just as much evidence that it’s bad for you long term as you do that it’s not.

    I definitely agree that there's benefit in skimming books. I've had to get over the idea that I must read every book I'm interested in from cover to cover. What do you mean by "dis…

    I see the note at the top of the post that it's meant to be extreme and satirical, but a lot of people actually try to substitute Slack for a meeting or quick zoom call and I think…

    I've been using openapi/swagger for generating my clients and honestly think it creates a mess of files and manually keeping clients up to date is not a huge task. I'm not sure tha…
