We have evil political leadership. It works in its own personal interest and does not care about what is best for the citizens and for humanity. What does it matter if you conduct a study and discover the truth of what is the best policy?

It’s not complicated. The Republican party serves the interests of the obscenely wealthy. That very much includes fossil fuel tycoons and friends. If people believe in climate change, fight it, and move away from fossil fuels, that ruins th

I make almost all purchasing decisions using one simple metric, will I use it? More precisely, the question is will I use it an amount that justifies the expense? This applies for small purchases like a tempting snack at the grocery store.

My guess is pig butchering. The kind of person who responds to this is likely lonely, desperate, and foolish. Sure, the conversion rate probably isn’t high, but it doesn’t have to be. The cost to spam these out is low and just a few hits is

I am comfortable making the sweeping generalization that people with obscene wealth are universally evil. It’s based on a very simple principle. Imagine Superman. Literal Superman like in the comic books. He sees a person falling from a bui

Hopefully poorly, and rightly so. There is a such thing as right and wrong.

Ramsay’s grilled cheese video might be bullshit, but his scrambled eggs video is perfection.

For me, the best Google analytics replacement has been nothing. Just don’t do analytics at all. Your web site will still work without it. In fact, it will work better!

No. I’m speaking in the general sense not to get hung up on an arbitrary number as the sole indicator of whether software is suitable for use in a production environment.

People get so hung up on the version number. These fools would rather use software with tons of bugs and security holes simply because the devs of that software dared to use a version number greater than 1.0. I see the entire community grav

Interesting how the people with the most distrust for authority are also the most in favor of authoritarianism.

No, because you don’t actually violate copyright law until you produce and distribute copies. It’s perfectly legal to memorize a book, type up a copy from memory, and to even print out a copy that you keep for yourself. But as soon as you s

That’s a good point, but it hasn’t borne out in reality. Creative Cloud is frequently adding new features, some of which are quite incredible. Project Turntable that they demonstrated last year honestly blew me away. Also, several of their

I’m always the first one to criticize companies for exploitative and evil business practices. Adobe is far from innocent. However, I will argue their subscription model itself is actually better than the previous model. The reality is that

The seems to define impartial news as news that has no particular point of view. What does that mean to not have a point of view? Any news source is disseminating information. This always carries the point of view that the information being

A better idea is to simply further regulate advertising. We already have many rules about advertising. We used to have more we got rid of, most famously Rx drug ads weren’t allowed, but now they are. I’m sure there are many ideas people hav

Finally the Republicans have done something good to help fight climate change. Less flights, less jet fuel exhaust.

The answer is the same way we banned cigarette ads.

If that’s the case, then the articles premise is wrong. Property taxes aren’t hurting tenants, and they should be raised on landlords.

A single family home is presumably owned by a single family that is actually living in that home. A large building with many apartments is owned by a wealthy landlord who is less likely to be living there. Of course the wealthy landlord sh

As the old saying goes if you aren’t paying for the service then you aren’t the customer. You are the product. All of these things make money by selling your attention to advertisers and vendors. Advertisers are paying them to have themselv
