OK, but "Big Tobacco," is still around and still makes an ass-load of money from its customers. Wherever taxes made consumption too expensive within the US, the companies were more than able to make up for it with new overseas cus

This means the very important work being done at tractorhacking [0] has become even more important. What incentive does a publicly-traded firm whose key shareholder is Bill Gates have to ever make their products repairable by New York'

Uh, me. I worked at Amazon when this happened.

Amazon used to take down its EC2 servers where Netflix streamed their content during the early days of the streaming wars. What of it? Are you actually so naive to think things aren't working against us?

How is this more nuanced than the OP's article? The OP article actually _adds_ nuance by expanding on the Atlantic's claim that "America’s regulatory and trade policy" is largely to blame. The Atlantic claims that this &

Live on your own productive land and use sensible automation to make it manageable. We live in the 21st century. What is wrong with everybody?

Right, but then you're also living without plentiful growth - without lots of pollination. That's part of what not having water is. That's the current plight of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Florida has plenty of humid

I think if anything all the anecdata suggests that the reverse of the OP's claim is true: that college helps foster the understanding that some/most relationships are fleeting and have their beginning and their end. Feels a lot li

Nah, nothing can save a work culture when it utilizes Slack for anything. I have been on both sides of the relationship in the Slack-based work society. It always ends up yielding the same outcome, no matter if I am a manager, an individual

A corporation being granted the permission of owning an entire chunk of the American public's land and taking over all local and state governance for itself is also rather unconstitutional. It's sophomoric and clownish of people t

This seems like a way of sugar-coating the actual content strategy Netflix deploys, which has much more to do with product placement than it does content production. Their strategy is to align their content productions with the brands that

This is pretty misleading. Don't you think the government's forcing "income" to be defined as w2 salary has a lot to do with why this happens, and is therefore an important qualifier? They literally invented a new indust

When working with hard/physical assets, one needs no proof of anything. The existence of the asset is the proof. To me, there needs to be an effective counterbalance to the need for "proof" in the first place, otherwise we ar
