I am really intrigued by using sand for energy storage - what I don't get (not my field) is given a typical 2000sf house, located in the colder part of the country as an example, h…

So they should wait until after the food supply becomes contaminated, then study the problem for a few years and only then pass a law to regulate it?

Yea, but at least you get to pay thru the nose for it.

thats a good point - if you are over a certain age, getting back to a FT career is going to be hard - ageism is real in this industry.

I am someone who has 'done my own thing' for more than 35 years at this point - i.e. direct contracting with my own clients, occasionally working on some 'side' project I hope I co…

tariffs and or new taxes on the chips imported from other countries would have served that same purpose - without the need for more billions of corporate welfare.

If the culture is blameless than the CEO's should benefit from that blameless culture as well - (I disagree with this though). Quite a logical leap to say that everyone in a corp d…

I disagree - if 'everything can be a process' we wouldn't need human judgement anywhere - and clearly we clearly still do need humans in the loop - and the reality is the judgement…

Why wouldn't you want to punish people who are at fault, especially if there is a pattern of problems or gross negligence that causes harm?

Same here, never understood the march towards 'blameless' culture - if someone is to blame, they should be blamed; if there is a pattern of mistakes they should be shown the door a…

because under 18 is not an adult legally speaking, and 18+ is?

Not sure I understand - you expect some one/some company to invest billions and billions of dollars to create internet access in places that where it doesn't exist and then give aw…

I agree - for a while it was my only option, and I would have paid 10X what they charged to have it. Now I have other options (FTTH), but was quite happy with Starlink while I had …

>>But I bet that housing has comparatively gone down in value in less popular areas. You would lose that bet. Other than a few places where the town/city as literally being abandon…

Did 9-11 happen because of bitcoin? Not sure I understand your point?

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair I have no hope that the people who created the very …

>>In the current environment, cost inflation is not a problem anymore. Everyone person who lives paycheck to paycheck, and is barely keeping their head above water as the cost of e…

If you are rich and own multiple houses or other expensive assets, they appreciate even faster during times of high inflation…compare that to a young working class couple hoping to…

That is such a bizarre statement I have a hard time believing you actually mean it. I think you would be hard pressed to find any/many 'working class' people who enjoy watching the…

People don't compare how well they were off 40 years ago vs today, they remember how things were in recent history - i.e. 3-4 years ago and then decide if they are better or worse …

people will complain about anything - in my very little town, about 25% of the roads are not paved. People would move into town, buy a house on a dirt road and then come to the tow…

you mean other than the rampant inflation we are seeing now - and will almost certainly get worse - everything is fine?

and yet INTC has been in business for decades, profitable the whole time, producing chips without this grotesque handout of taxpayer monies. They have already used their excess pro…

I guess in your mind it is not possible for both things to be bad? As long as we have the bogeyman of the DOD budget, any money spent that is even a penny less than the DOD budget …
