I don't think you understand that Louis Rossmann's job and attitude used to be the norm. Owning and repairing things are core to industrial living, but modern economic forces want …

FYI Plastic Mulch is very different from the mulch one normally thinks of. It's just a barrier to prevent light from reaching the soil, preventing weeds. https://www.harrisseeds.co…

Even with cash, you can't buy a plane ticket without handing over all your info. Which is a good thing! And, if I had to guess, the booking of hotel rooms probably has more to do w…

The universities seem to have forgotten that there role is to teach and educate, not overreach into their student's lives. College is about learning to cope and manage on your own,…

A lot of these high-end schools have been working to crack down on forms of risk, at the cost of a huge amount of fun and personal discovery. The issues is, this has happened for k…

I'm pretty sure > the only solution is to create more mountain towns and ski resorts was meant as a strawman.

One thing no one is mentioning is how China is the no.1 beneficiary of a pacified and monitored Australian populace. They are already completely dependent on the Aussie natural res…

The thing is this "long run" is a hypothetical for investors and their finite lifetimes and finite windows of return. Companies aren't accountable to some infinitely long running a…

If I had to guess it would be something like Slack, Shopify, Squarespace or some other SaaS platform that needs to meet the needs of a hugely diverse customer base.

Reminds me of a Star Trek DS9 episode that takes place in an SF of the near future. "By the 2020s, those without employment, as well as those with mental problems, were moved into …

I'm curious how big the adjacent parking lot or parking garage will be.

Whenever I zoomed out of my bases in Factorio, I always was reminded of IC die shots.

Point being: increased speed, and therefore frequency, of communication/interaction changes the nature of our relationships. So the change in the "underlying" doesn't have to be 10…

People talk online. Whether that's equivalent is up for debate. There might be an argument that our new online/text based discussions have changed the dynamics (some could argue hi…

Yeah, clearly old things were fine, or in many case quite good. I think comparing the advances in mechanical precision to changes in society shaping technological advances is not a…

The unmentioned thing here is why? Why does the world with a smartphone and today's hyper-connectivity seem so different now compared to what it used to? Did people feel the same w…

Why do so few companies have procedures for leveling up more junior developers? I've noticed that quite often junior devs are very productive, but will operate in a limited scope, …

So a bookstore is just selling colored pieces of paper, even if those pieces of paper are images of child abuse? Seriously what is wrong with you? I get that cryto-anarchist are hi…

An eye for an eye, I guess. You'd probably get more done writing them a letter directly, or suing him/them.

Don't bother switching, companies that can't keep their internal issues private generally have lots of other issues. The devil you know is better. It's like the kid getting caught …
