Growing up, I always thought it curious that my hometown in central Illinois operated only on UHF stations (19/25/31/43/47 I think) despite the fact there was no major metro for ov…

Well Apple seems to be able to largely avoid these staffing whiplash problems… I mainly call them problems because hugely scaling your org up and down on a whim is extremely ineffi…

Yeah the whole cognitive disconnect that advertising is anything other than serving an expensive product to rich people deserves a smirk at minimum.

Health is imaginary, life is imaginary, this is all imaginary. There’s no point in drawing an arbitrary line in the sand for what our purpose is or lecturing us on what we should b…

If the distinction is that the US watercraft are military and as such are not subject to customs, then making it clear that returning astronauts are not on a military mission sends…

I welcome you to point out the discrepancies if I am mistaken. Targeted classes is a common term in the context of regulations where certain bodies receive a change in protections …

In yet another parallel universe, in-app advertising doesn't exist and paid purchases have a flat-fee commission commensurate with the cost of providing that service.

That advice sounds to me like it’s more for “an entire world where all people are in a bad situation from which they will never escape and neither will their next of kin” but if th…
