The fundamental piece you are missing with your logic is that the negative externalities of driving a car are massive and not borne by those making the choice to drive. This leads …

The cognitive dissonance people have around this issue is astonishing. We are willing to ground the 737MAX fleet when a few people get a (surely terrifying) open air flying experie…

It's wild to me how much Youtube TV costs and yet they still serve you tons of ads. Coming from youtube premium where occasionally I have to skip through a preroll ad, I forget how…

There are a number of reasons why battery swapping is not feasible in the real world, among them: - Batteries age differently from one another, so swapping would only be fair if yo…

3blue1brown gives me hope that there are a few Michael Jordan level teachers out there, and youtube/the internet will allow us to find those people and reward them appropriately

I understand the "too much Magic" criticism of Rails from novices & intermediate Rails developers, but once you reach a sufficient level of mastery, I think this goes away. After u…

there is a lot of evidence to suggest that high housing costs cause homelessness

I totally agree and I think property taxes are way more fair and equitable for a society than income taxes. Usually we tax behaviors we want to curb. Income taxes disincentivize pe…

Agree, and a lot of those events were 60-80 years ago. I doubt that the amazing innovation and clever governance that allowed these events to happen (or cultivated them) would be p…
