Container homes are absolutely not a reasonable solution to the housing crisis...

No, the farmer is obviously not going to do this "just because". But if there's a market for organic produce sold to consumers at a markup, why wouldn't there be a market for something like this? Ag is regulated, for sur

I'll believe it when I see it. Qualcomm is woefully behind Apple in mobile chips (so far...)

It's fascinating to me. Linux in so many ways feels "lighter" in use than Windows, but it just eats power like nothing else

The environmental argument is huge, though. And there must be some monetary value in being able to sell your product as X% more environmentally friendly?

I use it all the time. It allows me to keep the highest-quality videos (4k HDR) for my own use while allowing family to stream it to less capable devices by hardware transcoding and tone mapping. A mid-range 11th gen i5 handles it without a

Nice straw man. Well done. I'll gladly take an extra few minutes to make my pasta if it saves a lot of energy and emissions. But you do you, bud

There is no "the way to solve climate change" anyway. It's a challenge so huge that it will require us to change something about everything we do and the way we do it.

A thousand small changes add up, however. Also, don't forget how those companies responsible for all those emissions make stuff that we eagerly buy up. The emissions are "their", but really on our behalf. And I'm well aw

Long Covid should be taken very seriously, but my understanding is that it is milder and less prevalent among the vaccinated. I don’t know if the hard figures “justify” something like a zero-Covid policy

This is a consequence of China’s zero-Covid policy. Nationally, the instruction is to eliminate outbreaks, even of new and milder variants. Leading up to the party congress local authorities appear to have reported inaccurately low numbers

It's far from certain that would fix the issue, though. If the problem is some edge case problem with the connection, what's to say it couldn't happen under standard load?

The replies here are hilarious: from people saying how much they loathe it to people saying they wish more resumes were like this. It just drives home how much of a crap shoot applying is...

The supply shock has occurred. What's happening now is a process of adaptation, which will go on for months, if not years. Higher costs will certainly see changes in industry. But I fail to see how this article exhibits normalcy bias

It is different. A user can change their social media passwords and device after entering the country (sure, you can be stopped by border patrol anywhere, but that's relatively "rare"). The overreach takes place in a limited

If the company wants to encourage "above and beyond" performance, they should do that through a bonus. In all scenarios I'm familiar with, shares vesting are tied to duration at the firm, i.e. loyalty and "toughing it ou

The employee spent the time at the firm that it took for the vest to happen. That time is mostly already served. Yanking the promised reward like that does not send a good signal to the rest of the staff. If the employee was so bad they sho

IMO it does not send that message. The vesting is compensation for work done and time spent in the role. That is in the past. The "punishment" is losing the job, and that message is clear enough.

Maybe it’s lack of imagination but I can’t see how Figma fits into Apple’s software portfolio. Sure, it’s in the realm of “creative stuff” but so is a lot of software Apple isn’t involved with

Usually new designs start out bold (and terrible) and are dialed back over time (to something sensible). Bloomberg springs to mind.

I’ve been on a similar journey. I’m not worried about the official releases, but in recent years I’ve stopped jumping on the public betas. Probably because I rely on my devices more for work since Covid

Regulation is short-sighted? You say this in a world that's burning up because no one imposed on emitters the cost of the externalities of those emissions... Now that is short-sighted.

Yes, the UK is relatively mild. That's why they've gotten away with less proactive measures and monitoring of tracks. With the weather getting more extreme, railways need to spend more to handle it. That's tough to accomplish

Except leaves falling in Autumn is a known event that one would presume thinking human beings would factor in. If oil fell from the sky onto the road for several weeks each year, I think people would cry very loudly for a solution.

Sure. Shareholder interests and all that. But regardless of the reason why companies might be fattening up (come on, do you really believe they'd leave money on the table even in the best of times?), the fact is they're doing this

Far from nonsense. Oil is controlled by a global cartel. Everything in your supermarket is made by "brands" owned by a handful of companies, produced from raw materials made usually by a handful of producers. They've each car

Don't forget very handsome and ever-rising corporate profits. They've been taking advantage of headlines to raise prices, reduce quality/quantity and cut expenses.

But both of these issues can be solved, at a cost to...shareholders. And that's really where the problem lies. Since the merger, Boeing has been laser-focused on quarterly results and stock prices. In the short run that boosts equity v

Those Sony earbuds are absolutely fantastic. Excellent audio quality for the price, solid build quality and cables that seem to last longer than most.
