    $125,000 for 7% is still exploitative, not even considering the inflation of the money supply we’re seen recently. So much money chasing deals and this term hasn’t budged.

    Increasing housing supply is like building more roads to reduce traffic: it doesn’t work. Humans reproduce to fill all available habitat. More humans, no tangible benefit, worse Ea…

    Tesla's investor relations department leaks these sandbagged estimates to the press at the end of every quarter so that they can beat them. It's an old game.

    Author is willing to use Windows, but no mention of macOS. This article reads like someone trying to convince you that vegan chicken tenders taste like regular chicken tenders.

    Discord functionality is driven by market forces, which is more than I can say for FOSS. FOSS is less likely to offer a product that works for mainstream users.

    It's shameful that Dell's 8K monitor is sabotaged by Apple.

    Retirement is a near universal human goal. Why would people work instead of retire? That seems at odds with observed behavior.

    As soon as your router hands off packets to your ISP, packet handling is either closed source software, or closed source hardware, anyway. Even if your gateway is open source, the …

    The persecution of religious minorities in Europe resulted in a very secular Europe—-because many of them fled—-and a very religious America, because that’s where they all went.
