Imagine if someone really had narcotics in the White House and was discovered, the punishment would be severe and also very embarrassing.

The amount of ignorance and pure aggression against road cyclists in America is rising to the level of a hate crime, IMHO. Mostly male, it seems, drivers are not willing to accept that not only must they share the road with cyclists, they m

It appears to also be a legal argument that has been used to stop solar development, endangered species, but also NIMBYism. https://electrek.co/2021/07/26/us-largest-solar-farm-is-scra...

I have long thought there must be a reason why vast, empty plots of sun drenched land were not covered in solar panels. Half of Nevada could become the nation's power plant.

What is the solution to recycled plastic? There does not seem to be a market for recycled plastic that would support its recycling. Perhaps the costs of using plastics should go up? I wonder how the beverage and other industries would respo

Reminds me of when Eli Lilly's Twitter was hacked to falsely proclaim free insulin.

I guess I am not shocked by the plagiarism but I am disturbed by the legal threats Harvard sent to the New York Post. Harvard seems to act more like a bully the wealthier it has gotten.

Could be a slippery slope. It is just a plastic cup, a straw, a thin piece of metal. Overtime those can build up especially if the volume rises. Should RFID purchasing in this manner really take off, it could be like plastic all over again.

Most stories of hacking are sensationalized. Mitnick was kept in solitary confinement for 5 years because of it. Aaron Schwartz was driven to suicide because of it. All the way back to RTM, incidents of hacking are rarely understood even su

That's good to hear. I test drove a Range Rover and it was bewildering. Buttons would change function based on which mode they were in. It became very confusing very quickly and I had to pull over and spend a few minutes to figure it o

Typically, high mortgage rates slow down home sales, and home prices should soften as a result. Not this time. Home sales are certainly falling, but prices are still rising—there just aren’t enough homes to go around. Before the Fed sta

I remember that during the pandemic, a village in India woke up one morning stunned to see Mt. Everest from their homes. With decreased activity during the lock down, the air quality had improved considerably. I was optimistic that such a v

I think this could have been handled more if the individual is more sincere, contrite, humble, and can read the room. The testimony I saw, albeit not all of it, felt very ivory tower looking down.

I wonder if it is because the younger generations believe something that happened so long ago must be suspect, when everything today is so incredibly fast and hyper documented. I do not wish to sound like a pessimist, but it would not surpr

Ah you perhaps misunderstood me. Record everything, do not pay attention to the fact that it is recording, and experience life in the process. Put the camera down but let it continue to record.

When startups receive huge waves of investor cash it can seem like the runway is forever. Look at Twitter which had far more employees than it needed. When the cash seems infinite there may be a tendency to forget the principle of staying l

I can understand the point of the article but I disagree that it is taking away from the experience it is documenting. Counterpoint: Life Logging. I remember reading a phenomenal book by @CStross called 'Rule 34' in which a police

Why not? Both can and in some cases do represent unnecessary bloat, which is an increased cost often passed on to the students, and can be extremely difficult to reduce.

A lot of university duplicate primary education. I think it is this way because it generates jobs and revenue, which can be very hard to give up for an institution.

The universities have become bloated and mismanaged with great resistance to change. Tenured professors and administrators are very opposed to anything that reduces their jobs or makes them redundant. A lot of universities are carrying dead
