I'll second this. Just finished his video on landslides the other day. Not only interesting, but also good info if you ever are considering a home on or around hilly terrain.

Jerome has levers to nudge things up or down to implement policy. But he is not the final arbitor. The market is. It always is.

Your response was to the poster who said "It's a complex system, a feedback loop." That about sums it up. Your seven people operate inside this system. They don't have complete fre…

For the physicists here I would greatly like to hear an opinion on what presents the greater physics challenge: keeping the ocean out at the depth of 13K feet or containing a space…

In some areas of the economy, there truly were inflationary pressures that led real price increases. But there's always the human element and FOMO at play. Once "we're experiencing…

Obviously there seem to be some compelling reasons why the choice of a carbon hull was a faulty idea to begin with. The CEO would have been familiar with those critiques and procee…

They are licensed as a money transmitter like Western Union. It is a lessor form of regulation. So while they look "bank like" in some things they are not legally a bank.

I'm saying this with extreme snark, but wait until smart homes become more commonplace and you won't be able to walk past your thermostat without Amazon pitching you new filters ev…

I would venture a guess the logic in some of these cases has a healthy does of practical wisdom baked in. On sailing vessels they are/were? chaotic, violent, noisy, and the crew pe…

This is exactly what I would expect them to do. Amazon (AWS) sells compute resources and generative AI may be a gold mine for that. They need to have the tools and mindshare in pla…

Yes, agree, expect would have seen more of an uproar if this was wide spread. Was trying to stay out the troubleshooting rabbit hole, thus posting the Q here in case other have obs…

Thanks! Had not seen this. Will look into.

Please correct me if I am wrong here regarding Ghostery functionality: In current Firefox & Vivaldi versions it behaves as you would expect....blocks ads according to your settings…

No, I never said Facebook is justified to do whatever they want because of their desire to reap more profits. Slight tangent: I don't disagree with your comments about regulation. …

My take? This is really a pretty simple equation for FB. Politcal ads = good business opportunity ....perhaps essential. Since FB tends to be a self-reinforcing echo chamber on bot…

Yes, sadly. ....b/c Comcast, ATT, and a few others have been allowed to control all the pipes (including access to the internet). Most places only have two options. Where I live it…

Well, given the subject here, it seems relevant to ask how everyone is organizing their libraries in Calibre. Is there such a thing as "best practices"? Would really love to hear i…

Between this and the Samsung Fold it feels like we have entered into the netbook (form factor) era* void. We're past peak smartphone development and are in this space where manufac…

Mostly I agree with this sentiment. I'd argue it falls into the "we are doing this b/c we can" and "cheap easy marketing coverage" buckets.
