it does provide rotational stability (along with the PCL, between the femur and tibia; the condyles help here too) but it’s primarily job is lateral stability in the front-to-back …

it's less about what foods to eat and more about eating much less: one modest-sized meal a day. that's all we "need". we eat too much of everything and our bodies are not evolved f…

no one should worry about CO₂ at all in their homes or offices. only workers in certain industries/factories, where CO₂ can get several orders of magnitude higher, need to be conce…

now that physical branches are not really a differentiator of big banks, a couple hours of your time spread out over a couple months is totally worth the switch to a credit union i…

i've played with nesting on firefox and, much like the :has() selector, it seems good enough for the 80% case, so i wish they'd unflag it so we could get the clock started on havin…

safari and chrome have had :has() for a while, but it's behind a flag in firefox. the firefox version is good enough that i wish they'd unflag it already (as in, it's good enough t…

yah, would be nice if it were baked into html itself, but at least the javascript isn't complicated, and can be put in an `onclick` attribute: open my dialog

visible is a good deal as long as your area isn't oversubscribed for verizon (luckily mine isn't). any reason why the watches have to be completely standalone? does the family setu…

real world boston was the only reality tv show i watched more or less all the way through. it was fun while it lasted but once it was over, reality tv felt "done" and i didn't real…

again, CO₂ doesn't matter, despite the mediopolitical hysteria over it. it's a gas that life depends on and is well-adapted to. but pollution has been killing millions of people a …

instead you get to breathe in that sweet, sweet tire dust, which hybrids and EVs tend to make more of because they're typically heavier than their ICE counterparts. but until the e…

that's an astute observation. i think the current administration designed this legislation for maximum airtime by trying to go all-in on debt forgiveness, without any conviction ab…

you've done a great job on the overall UI/UX, but as always, for me the question is where and how the product fits in the overall marketplace. this is true even for free/open sourc…

i don't have rigorous data at hand, but browsers and mobile hardware are now good enough that most apps are just fine being developed using cross-platform web tech rather than java…

not sure what point you're making here, but my point was that there is room for little PE, but not big PE, because little PE can have the effect of making capital more efficient fo…

to be clear, PE isn't always purely extractive, but when it is, it can be highly destructive. sometimes a business is so mismanaged that debt (and the pressure it adds) and new man…

thanks for that tip, i have PYREX measuring cups bought over 20 years ago that are still going strong, but this is good to know if i ever need to replace them with the same quality…

i think if rails continues to push hotwire (turbo + stimulus, and perhaps strada?) and get a coherent story on view components, it will continue to take mindshare from the js hype …

spacex, as far as i can tell, is a research company that launches satellites to fuel its space exploration research. the research side couldn't stand alone, as that's not a viable …

of course, but i'd argue that too much of a single field is usually a case of a company that's actually in multiple businesses (see the mcdonald's example in a sibling thread). my …

mcdonald's is actually a good example. it's at least 3 businesses on top of the nominal one of fast food: franchising, supply chain, and real estate. franchisees pay for access to …

strictly speaking, a monopoly by itself is probably not a positive externality, since it isn't external, other than the regulatory permissiveness that allows it. to me a vertical m…

tl;dr: the author wants antitrust action to focus on private equity rather than tech (and oh look, he runs a tech consultancy!). the evidence presented isn't entirely wrong (at lea…
