This leads me to wonder, do you think free trade and ad or government subsidized everything from TVs & smartphones to Internet and cellular service to content serve to keep the lot…

Maybe there’s some sensible common ground between Germany and the US system where everyone is required to get a general education even though a lot of people have no interest in it…

I could be wrong but I think the other effects of smoking are worse for quality of life as you age and are way more common than cancer. I knew a lot of lifelong smokers. I believe …

I don’t vote, I’m a proud non-voter. People frequently make this statement and I think it’s wrong at face value. If you vote you are giving legitimacy to the beltway uniparty. If t…

You’re both right! Nuance is important :). This is an interesting thought, assuming a call center employee is paid $35k, total cost of employment being $70k, you could hire 14.25 e…

> Near as I can tell, the US is getting hit with massive manipulative propaganda BS, and a lot of people are burnt out and even having PTSD type reactions (See Complex PTSD) to oth…

> I mean, isn't the possibility of any of the major cloud vendors getting 'hacked', or cryptolocked, one of the biggest threads to any country? Right, but I think the point in this…

I’m not sure if $2,200 is a lot or a little but isn’t there some non-zero cost associated with facilitating, transporting, storing and performing the autopsies regardless of whethe…

One guy killed himself and the other got MERSA. Only kooks believe that Boeing killed them!

Just pointing out, now these guys will never be on 60 minutes or giving interviews to popular mechanics, Rogan or Lex Friedman. Whatever testimony is made available will be all tha…

That’s really interesting and compelling. What’s the rest of your backend stack look like? Do you get good performance from the database drivers written in dart?

> There are no jobs for me; even for positions that totally align with my skills, the employers express no interest. I often wonder who they have working there and applying that is…

How about US developers can’t compete with offshore developers? Average Indian earns $571/mo. Even if devs earn 2x average you’d be able to hire at least 3 for just the average SF/…

They pretty much did the work for a lib at this point…

I’ve been struggling with this for a bit — I am working on something I’d like to make open source for every use except resale / selling a hosted version. Eg, you can have a private…

What about a collective approach run by the businesses in a town rather than companies that charge high fees on both ends?

I'm from the NYC Metro. Insane pricing pushed us out initially. Philadelphia is such a horrible place, pre-covid I was longing to go back. COVID restrictions and now the fallout fr…

It’s absolutely insane and there’s really no reason for it. Controversy with the angular team or high profile developers — why? I’ve been off social media for years but I’d hear ab…

Religious schools aren’t the only use of vouchers either. There are also charter schools. Charter schools can often provide specialized programs. Montessori schools seem awesome as…

A future where humans are no longer able to drive will have to be a decade or more after self driving arrives. It’s impossible for everyone to replace their non self driving cars i…

I just got a 65” UHD sceptre brand TV with no smart features at Walmart for $329. It’s pretty great that such a desirable feature is at the bottom of the barrel

I definitely want to check the book out because I love playing the game but I think there is a certain amount of nuance to account for. I work a full time job and contract for at l…
