That's not being frugal, that's a hoarder mentality.

A voice based BBS could probably trace some kind of cultural or technical lineage to TikTok today, interesting to think about.

It's funny to think that not that long ago businesses would pay a premium for that feature set from their voice service provider. Maybe not the SSH part lol, but I worked with plen…

Great piece, I definitely enjoyed reading through it. I don't have a question about ASML or the machine in particular, but I am curious about your thoughts on something: I've recen…

I think on average it's a safer assumption that the union made up of your peers are more aligned with your interests than the owners of the company are. All of my friends that are …

Great to see! I think unions should be the default for most situations.

That's actually a great point, and probably touches on the broader trend of chasing profits now at the cost of long term health. For what it's worth, the two Disney adult couples I…

I agree, I think it does simply make sense to cater to the customers with the money. If I were starting a business selling products or services to consumers directly, I wouldn't ta…

I guess that is their hobby, consuming the products or experiences and sharing that with others.

The reality actually is you do not need to spend a lot of money to participate in any hobby. Some hobbies are expensive, and may have gotten more expensive in recent years, but at …

Yes but in my fantasy world I'm the king because my morals and opinions are best for society. And of course I'll always be reasonable and never have a bad day or let my personal in…

I have the same dilemma. Privacy and anonymity has always been a top priority for me, but we can't excuse malicious actors, we shouldn't even accommodate people with good intention…

The people committing TARP fraud may have been the same people that caused regular working people to lose their homes, businesses, and retirement funds, but unless that venn diagra…

Do you have data to back this up?

I like supporting my local community - so I guess I don't have much loyalty to a company in Arkansas but I do have loyalty to a company down the street or a town over.

I thought it was a good video, but similarly I had an issue with how he discussed the loss of the skilled trades and professions in the US. He did a good job highlighting that thes…

> Wells Fargo did a bad thing. But the badness of the thing is uncertain, amorphous, hard to quantify: People were harmed, but not in ways that the legal system can easily reduce t…

For most commercial companies you'll see pharmacy benefits split similarly: 1% - 2% of people on the health plan will account for ~50% of the pharmacy drug spend. That's regardless…

That is a great point, the things I value most from my time in FIRST are the friendships, connections, and soft skills I built. The engineering is fun, but I definitely use my team…

Yes, there some specific routes set in the gym intended for the ACG group where legs / feet aren't necessary. They'll also set similar routes nearby each other, and another volunte…

FIRST ( https://www.firstinspires.org/ ) is a more structured program intended to be organized through schools or similar communities (homeschooling groups, 4H, etc.). I have more …

Related, the Adaptive Climbing Group does great work: https://www.adaptiveclimbinggroup.org/ Every Wednesday at my local gym I have the pleasure of seeing people who normally use a…

Unfortunately I don't think the market of third party support vendors for open source software is robust enough to have enough competitors that can provide the same quality (or at …

This is what I was gonna say - they're building, they just may not be building the next venture capitalist funded business. Who says we need more of those anyway?
