Given climate change's existential consequences, the price seems like a steal. Compare it to 2023 DoD budget of $773 billion [1] and the _net_ interest the feds paid on national de…

> Re-focus on merit and clear goals. Googler here. We've structured the company to extract rent rather than innovate. We hire outsiders who are supposed to help us "grow up". That …

The first and only occurrence I’ve heard of this claim was Rogan’s podcast. The article lumps him in with other claimants. But it doesn’t actually demonstrate that his anecdote is …

It doesn't take authority to effect change. You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish once you figure out how who owns the various fragments of the solution. OP – My offer to h…

This comment assumes there is something redeemable about an autocratic, oppressive government with numerous human rights violations under their belt. “Manning up” is slang for doin…

Love the concept. I find it nearly impossible to buy products that are made well and intended to last longer than a year. Any plans to lead a movement, because I’m in.

It’s the best extension I’ve installed. I only wish it would permit single hand navigation as a setting (e.g. left hand only with right on mouse all the time)

Seems that 8GB is the only option without customization ability.

I hope to see a democratic China in my lifetime. Rationalize the “cold shoulder” however you like. But the CCP has so much more than to answer for beyond their self-interested COVI…

The problem is pervasive, and speaking in noncommittal terms perpetuates passive acceptance. We can take action through our democratically elected representatives by re-opening men…

Primary reason for me to pay for Dropbox is symlinked files that act as a backup and remote file access.
