It looks like it's only 15 pages and I do like camp, so I think I may have a go at it

I'm a little confused. She follows describing people with good/bad taste immediately with the statement that there is no system for taste. If it is all relative, then how is she de…

Does it do it efficiently though?

And don't forget ethanol, probably the least efficient form of energy ever discovered

The boom cycle looks like it's going to last a while, but it never lasts forever. If the current memory manufacturers all conspire to not build more capacity, I'm sure someone else…

It's not just the reader engaging in the work, but the author. If the author can't or is unwilling to put in any actual work, and also lies about it, I've lost all respect and inte…

It seems like a pretty normal behavior. Just look at the whole tabloid industry that follows actors and musicians around. You might like bland architectural paintings, but knowing …

I feel like the majority of ai use by normal people is through Google search, so that's kind of a win. I'm confused by meta's capex though. Are they planning on becoming a cloud pr…

It sucks but I'm not sure there much I can do about it personally. If/when the banks stop supporting browsers completely, I'll be glad I have a phone that can install the app

It's hard to square this with my impression of Aristotle as a kind of early empiricist, cataloging and dissecting animals.

The whole problem could have been fixed by allowing the customer pay the fee through their account.

This reminds me of the movie Backdraft, about firefighters and a mysterious arsonist.

The national debt was in the news a lot in the 90s and 00s and the sky didn't fall. Now both parties have decided they don't care, and I'm sure they'll find other things to blame w…

I like it how morningstar provides a graph of the stock price and morningstar's target price for the past few years, and the target price always closely follows the stock price, ev…

I only bought one keyboard from keychron and it was flaky from day one. It's the simplest keyboard they sold - wired, non hot swap. I don't know how to diagnose and fix the problem…

It's not economical to build "starter" homes. Given the large fixed costs, builders are going to have higher margins building a 2500 sqft monstrosity. Construction physics blog had…

Skimming over the proposals, only option 1 even mentions copyright and licensing issues, which have been traditionally a big deal for open source software

I click the close button on the cookie banner if there is one. No idea what it does though.

The article is light on details. Presumably the original Nikkei article has more details but it's behind a paywall. Recently watched Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I still d…

The page references a document Microsoft Windows User Experience. Is this online somewhere? I can only find Amazon links. Are there other good design manuals I can find online?

It sounds similar to a lot of US products. They outsource all production to China, then China essentially start making copies of their products and charging a fraction of the price…

I'll believe Musk is a trillionaire when the free float of spcx is 95%, not 5%

Sorry, just copy pasted the headline they gave me at the time. One interesting thing I noticed about the big boy locomotive is that the whistle is much lower pitched and more pleas…
