why are we restricted to windowed layouts of applications? I think we can get more creative than that. I would like a more fully immersive experience that doesn't try to mimic our …

managing emotions is at the crux of all of this. those productivity apps try to remove the emotion from certain decisions and give you some organizational help so you can act proce…

Would you include political ideology as another problem? If bitcoin/ether fulfilled their potential, wouldn't that mean the US dollar would fall as the world reserve currency and t…

I've been mentally planning all of this in my head for when I move to a place with enough space. The amount of detail and research provided in one page is nothing short of astoundi…

Thank you for sharing this. I'm in a similar situation and asking myself "what's the best that could happen" makes me feel surprisingly uncomfortable.

ELI5 someone please.

I would like nationalization if it were split up into a research co-op with manufacturing contracted out to US companies. I would like to maintain some level of competitiveness but…

on the presupposition that the VAT is flat across all goods. look at Yang's plan. this is not the case. https://www.yang2020.com/what-is-freedom-dividend-faq/

I think it's smarter to go after automation and consumption than land value tax as of this moment. It's a lot harder to measure the true value of land compared to consumption. Also…

this is very inflammatory and false. The VAT is not highly regressive. Money is power but poverty stricken people literally have zero money. How are gov't "programs" going to help?…

I think your facts are debatable https://twitter.com/scottsantens/status/1184499999406776326

straight out of idiocracy

ah yes! this is where i read about string interning. I totally had forgotten the source. Thanks!

> You don't want your ER nurse to be smug about how smart they are, while they do shoddy work with fad tools and halfwitted cargo cult processes. Unfortunately, this may already be…

I've been kinda thinking this for more than a decade after working at one of the big pharmas. I witnessed several trials with subpar results that would not go on to be published. I…

well that's not a fair comparison. the iPhone is built to be capable of doing a lot more than a Roomba, thus the cost. Also, much of the specialized expensive equipment is required…

During an intense period at university, index cards kept me sane. I wrote my next day schedule on one side every night and kept little to-dos to add on the other throughout the day…

I remember watching it. It had an 'Any Given Sunday' feel to it which missed the mark of it being generally captivating. Currently, the HBO series 'Ballers' does a much better job …

The 10 most watched TV shows doesn't give as much info as the top 10 primetime tv programs. 7 out of the 10 shows that are aired regularly are NOT sports. These one off events are …

I think the criticisms of ESPN and the advent of cord-cutting is severely missing a larger issue at hand. Sports are just another form of entertainment for people. I can probably s…
