I think we should live more like the way we work. Instead of having separate houses or apartments, we should have giant, open rooms where 10-20 families live together, without any walls. There can be a few kitchens, which can be shared an

You'll need some kind of artificial "cork". Real cork is in short supply and very expensive. Most wine bottles these days have dumped real corks and switched to fake ones, or have just gone to screw caps (which is really be

I disagree. It's not free (usually) to upstream your code yourself , but there's nothing preventing you from publishing it for anyone to use. With a popular mobile phone, that'll very likely end up with someone else grabbi

I had mine taken out under general anesthesia. My two bottom teeth were at a 90-degree angle. They drilled them apart into pieces so they could remove them. Also, what's with all these people saying they had a dentist remove their

It's because all the stupid vendors refuse to share anything, and won't publish their sources for the various device drivers needed. So every time there's some new flash chip or whatever, there's a custom closed-source

Sure, as long as you don't mind waiting a century or two. Meanwhile, in other nations they fix things far faster.

Another interesting data point for you about men at work wanting to turn you into a housewife: https://qz.com/946816/millennials-are-more-likely-than-their... I hope this doesn't sound too snide, but it looks like

It doesn't have to be done in closed-source silos, people just choose to do it that way. There's open-source EDA software out there: Kicad is my favorite for PCB design. It works better than the PADS software I used years ago, a

No, you really cannot build a smartphone. I'd really like to see you make an ARM CPU by hand, just using a silicon wafer. Or solder a modern BGA package reliably without a reflow oven. >and a 3D printed case That's not allowe

Why on Earth would an oil change cost $2000, or even $400? Are these stealership prices or something? What keeps you from just changing the oil yourself in your garage? Surely a Lamborghini uses some standard oil like 5W-30 and some stan

Speak for yourself. I'd rather have something high-quality and defect-free, rather than something slapped together by some tired and disinterested human.

It's funny how I get down-modded for these comments, but no one ever has any actually productive things to say or counter with. All people want to do is whine and complain about MS's policies and actions lately, but suggest somet

If you shop Kohl's make sure to use coupons. If you pay full price there for anything, you're paying too much. They always have some kind of deals, and you can usually "stack" them. So jeans for instance will frequent

No, I don't think so. Somewhere else in this discussion, someone posted a picture of a modern car factory: https://outline-prod.imgix.net/20170323-c86vRGKVPsbek3PZXpVw... Someone else responded with a picture of a car

No, they really don't have to fix this issue at all. Has Sears fixed their issues? Has Yahoo! fixed their issues? Did Circuit City fix their issues? Is h.h.gregg going to fix their issues?

That's a stupid demand. You said "very low capacity". You can get MLCC caps in the ones and tens of microfarads easily and cheaply now, which isn't "very low". "Very low" is picofarads. Ceramics a

Relies on people how? Citation? Any modern car is going to have an enormous amount of robotic assembly involved. Having humans can give you more flexibility (robots take time to set up), but expose you to more quality problems because the

I've tried that, and it doesn't work, in fact it makes it much worse. You get lulled into deep concentration successfully, and then some asshole comes up behind you and taps you on the shoulder.

Also relevant I think is that novelists are a vanishingly small part of the population. Very, very few people make a living writing novels or other lengthy texts, and not that many people write novels as a hobby (or hoping to sell their bo

I haven't looked at his code, but why would he use either if he's using Qt? Qt has its own QString class that's far superior to C++'s native strings.

It's not a matter of willing workers, it's a matter of funding. The problem is if you start demanding money in the form of taxes. I find it highly dubious that one rich person could fund such an endeavor all by himself; this kin

Very interesting post. I will say that's really weird that a bunch of men want to marry you and then turn you into a full-time housewife. Personally, as a divorced man (where the marriage ended largely because of finances) one of the

Good luck using a smartphone made by humans. It isn't physically possible to do.

It's weird; I buy $30 Lee jeans from Kohls these days and they easily last a year or more. Clothing is not something you have to spend a lot of money on to get something that lasts a reasonable length of time, unless you're reall

The problem with that idea is that even if the human labor is absurdly cheap, that doesn't make it good. Would you want a car built by hand, or a car built by robots? The latter is going to be better built and have fewer defects. Ma
