I wonder if the card companies themselves would be happy with those rules. I don't think it's a grand conspiracy. I think they are just looking at the business and realizing that t…

It's also very weird that the same type of people who normally talk about corporations/governments covering up pollutants do not talk about how many people could die from a potenti…

This article seems like a real stretch. For their first example picked the absolute lightest ICE car (3000 pounds) and the heaviest electric car (an electric hummer). The Ford F-15…

Gas prices have fluctuated wildly since 2020. This has had nothing to do with the number of people who own ICE vehicles. Even if you assumed it was tightly correlated, then the sec…

I disagree. By this standard the government should not even be building highways (they are subsidies to the technology of the automobile, after all) The government built/supported …

I relate to that. I have some personal side projects that I enjoy though I worry they may not be sustainable if I start to have a family. Before this job I very much had a job I ha…

I have been building a lot of cool stuff the last couple years in the hardware space. I think in my mind I thought I'd been able to spin it off as a side project? But so far its th…

Ultimately that's close to what I'm doing! Not jumping ship until something finds my way that is definitely better. I think I "want to be fired" because it would take some of the s…

I probably should. I think it has been hard for me to find one that is part-time and worthwhile. I taught myself circuit design/CAD/3d modeling over the last couple years since I'v…

That is sorta how I hope it gets resolved. I do think I'm a quick learner, still. My job sounds extremely impressive on paper though when it comes to nuts and bolts I feel like I h…

I do feel like my skills have atrophied. I've def taught myself some skillsets over the years - I love to learn - but mostly things that seem fun/interesting/challenging and not th…

Thank you. This is why I have not quit but why I responded to this thread of being "fired". I feel like it would make the decision for me and be a relief and work out in the long t…

I more or less have a no show job. I am a programmer but for a private company whose business is entertainment. About 5 years ago I came up with something that traceably earned the…

This is why it's done but still sorta of strange to me that this was the way I was taught by camp instructors - even though we never were going for speed. Feels a bit like learning…

For this particular example (housing) I agree that median isn't that informative. It doesn't cover the range of prices available and a theoretical city with a high median, but a gl…

That sounds extremely slow but presumably now that they've built one the cost to build 100 or 1000 would be achievable if someone (or some government) had the interest. I would thi…

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert but it seems like the hard/expensive part is probably building the underwater drone capable of taking the LIDAR? I would imagine at some po…

I first started using Reddit around 2009 when I was in college and use it more today. I browse old.reddit.com because I think that text feel is better. I think it probably depends …

The student who enters the classroom has an IQ that follows the same distribution of intelligence of any of the other students. Therefore, one student out of the 145 must have the …

Perhaps you are misunderstanding the records it is describing. A record in that data is defined as a particular high in a particular city on a particular day. The data goes back 14…

The planet clearly is warming but I also agree this method is useless by itself. For Los Angeles (my city) the data goes back 145 days a year. If temperature has not been increasin…

I do hope this turns out to be workable and scalable fast. Thinking of RVs reminds me of the cruise ship I was just on. I actually liked the cruise much more than I had guessed but…

fwiw I do not really see how problem solving intelligence correlates to consciousness. I think it is a bit of a stretch to think we only evolved consciousness to guess how other pe…

Agree. Especially if you change the wording a bit. I do think something like Brexit is fine for a referendum. It's a singular issue and clearly very important. In California we hav…
