I see what you are getting at but I have to disagree with alot of what you are saying. > the US will find itself in the same position the UK is in now The US and UK are totally dif…

A few things to unpack here: Lets say a nike shoe costs $120 or so today(searching air jordans in google lists a huge number of shoes at that price point), in my mind this is quite…

I think this is mostly accurate: > The things that dominate middle class budgets: food, housing, medicine, education, are surprisingly local, and have become increasingly unafforda…

This is a fantastic comment, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment on Angela Ahrendts. What was once a magical experience going to a apple store has devolved into a nightmare…

agree, firing ion beams to make the mirror perfect one molecule at a time(they are declared the most precise mirrors on earth). This stuff is beyond wild. Not that I believe this s…

I'm fine with news outlets having paywalls to keep the lights on and provide great journalism. Where I wish things would change is having paywalls on articles years old that are no…

Also during that heyday Cisco planned a sprawling south bay campus that was going to cost a fortune and house tens of thousands of new employees.(I lived between cisco's HQ and the…

I contributed to one company(intuitive machines) by buying their stock a few weeks back, they are public - ticker is LUNR. They have a moon mission going on as this is written and …

I don't think you understand my issue with this persons pay(and not theirs but alot of city workers). I am fine with a private company paying out of their profits any amount they d…

My Dad's friend is a retired fire chief, my Dad told me he makes $300K a year in retirement! That is beyond insane as it ends up costing (with a retirement at say 55) about 30 or s…

I like his spartan review but really don't like the Fremen mirage article. With Bret Devereaux he uses the classic ideal of - if all you have is a hammer then all your problems are…

I have the forerunner watch as well, and also the inReach personal gps. Both are quite rugged and the forerunner's metrics collection is great if you want to see your health progre…

Unsure what planet you live on but I would love to visit. Here on earth in the US it has been absolute hell incarnate the past 4 years with non-stop tech layoffs since 2022, soarin…

I was going to say the same thing. There is nothing "deep" about this history, the article is a string of poorly connected events that still try to bring up the spectre of wrong id…

yeah this is a classic "puff piece" not really about the engineers themselves but a subtle advert for google for being a place where geniuses work. They (and nytimes, wired etc) do…

I am looking at the numbers from operation downfall that Truman and senior members of the administration looked at which had between 500,000 to 1,000,000 lives lost on the US side …

I agree and also disagree. > There was no nuclear weapons race; once it became clear that Germany had no chance of building atomic bombs, several scientists left the MP in protest …

yeah kind of a waste of time, what is this 50% mixture of green and blue? pick one - Blue or Green answer it should have: Its both

Agree, Zuck has zero integrity and I think he sees the tea leaves in where things are headed in November and is trying to say he was bullied into making alot of disastrous decision…

So is the 30% fatality rate for humans or horses? The article does not make this clear at all. On a side note for the past few years we have been spraying for mosquitos(using a pes…

I chose Boulder as it has very good record keeping(and it goes way back) and is a good bellwether for the state, plus a number of key government climate labs are based here. So its…

This is total fiction, Colorado as a whole has been getting way more snow per year on average in the past 15 years(except the 1990s which were very snowy) than at any time in the p…

oh this is not me thats outraged, its just a bad sounding headline to be sure for the general public. And even though they removed the ingredient the bread is not great there perio…

Well conflating yoga mats with their bread doesn't entice customers to their stores[1](to be fair its a natural occurring ingredient but it grossed alot of people out). Plus there …
