> You basically should never trust Apple / Google / Microsoft / Amazon / etc to handle your private information... ever. Use audited open-source messaging apps. Nonsense. Understan…

Same. I would pay extra for more dogs and no babies.

As the population ages even further and the number of people who never marry increases, pet-friendly accommodations will become way more important than bicycle friendly accommodati…

Those 10million cars are no more available to those drivers than the one in your driveway.

Hm. Not sure how it could be the case that not learning something takes the same amount of time as learning something. Can you think of any more examples of this? It would be great…

Precisely my point. Holding on to the antiquated manual transmission makes the easier form of driving more expensive.

Currently, manual cars still account for 70 per cent of the 31.7 million cars on UK's roads. If you want to make it easier to learn to drive, break the British fetish for manual.

> Funny how findings like this get almost no attention at all, isn't it? Not really. Without metrics for attention and a definition of “findings like this,” your intuition is as go…

I think it helps to start with what you think “getting out from under that” means. Why do you think it’s a problem for Japan have this much debt to GDP?

A sad day for equal access to information. I’m glad that they made money from Z-Library, they deserve that money for the service they provided. It’s some bullshit that they were ar…

Two hypotheses: (1) There’s a lack of immunity to some old respiratory viruses that mutate every year. Should be back to normal in 1-2 years. (2) COVID has made people more aware o…

I wish I had your patience, but I just don't. I find the entire process so insulting to my time and intelligence that I refuse to participate, especially after spending 6 hours -- …

You get treated decently with strong unions because strong unions have power. It’s not a matter of the corporation, which has no feelings because it is not a person, loving you bac…

I stored my BTC using Geographically distributed multisig and it still lost 40% of its value against USD in the last 6 months. So what’s the point?

This isn’t about where you keep your coins, not really. That’s an implementation detail. This is about the entire system of wealth protection built up around fiat currency. The wor…

The stock going up is what kills it. Apple’s stock has gone bananas the last 4 years, no refresher is going to beat or match that.

This is very common and almost always predicted. 4 years is the end of the initial stock vest. If you don't get a major promotion, or even two, your compensation takes a nose dive.…

Why would being in a union make your job love you back?
