What’s to stop an enterprising, well funded startup from opening a fully automated port?

“Bargained effectively”? Union boss Harold Daggett extorted the US public by threatening to “cripple the US economy’ if his demands were not met.

This is a fantastic resource, not only for present generations, but also especially for future generations if any of these objects were to be damaged or destroyed.

I don’t know the legal protections around automation, but the unions virulently fight efforts to automate the industry. You should listen to Harold Deggett, the dockworkers union boss who threatened to cripple the US economy if automation w

I don’t like anecdotal evidence, but for myself I was running regularly but still experiencing suboptimal sleep. I started resistance training again and my sleep immediately got better.

Reistance training — moreso than cardiovascular exercise — can improve sleep quality and duration. Both have significant effects on daytime mood and cognition. A good exercise program incorporates both resistance and cardiovascular exercise

Great comment. I had forgotten how much better things were in terms of visual indicators. Slick looking design should never come at the expense of usability.

It’s a massive UI failure, design over function, something Jobs would have never tolerated. I’m glad other people are pointing this out. At first I thought my eyes were going. It’s especially bad with the magic mouse for some reason.

Supply and demand sets prices. The gobbledygook you posted, “ properties get leveraged, instrumentalized, and securitized, with derivative products, speculation, and all sorts of incentives that you don't normally want operating in th

This is dumb. We are in the midst of an energy shortage that will only get worse. Between MAGA blocking wind and Progressives blocking nuclear, the US is left with solar and carbon. Solar is fine, but it needs a 24/7 base. Unfortunatel

It’s not pharma that’s driving rising medical costs, it’s hospitals: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-cancer-drug-markups/ Another contributing factor is that Americans consume a LOT of healthcare, often we

You realize it would cost a significant resources to make the “accommodations” you are suggesting? Money, despite what you may believe, doesn’t grow on trees. Given the range of worthy competing interests where the money could be spent, the

Maybe Lina Khan blocking the sale to Amazon wasn’t such a great idea after all.

For those of us who grew up before 2000, we somehow managed. I think younger people today will as well.

A lot of you guys in the AI industry are going to lose your jobs. LLM and prompt ‘engineering’ experts won’t be able to score an AI job paying as well as a barista.

Dissapointing. The X220 is built well and has a great keyboard. Any idea why the focus on the X200/201 instead of the X220/230?

My 22 year old fresh out-of-school communications manager admin was able to figure all that out on her first day of work. Don’t know what to tell you.

Because outside of a handful of nerdy tech companies, all small businesses need to use Microsoft Office. From there, it’s a no brainer to stay in the MS ecosystem and use Sharepoint etc… For a small business without a dedicated IT team, sim

This is blatant nonsense. The best security choice for any small business that doesn’t have a dedicated full time security staff is Microsoft 365.

Just another confirmation that the majority of the IT industry depends on spying in order to be profitable and for developers to make a good living. It’s a disgrace really.

I left work late tonight and again saw in the parking lot a car with sheets inside the windows and the engine running. Someone who can’t afford Boston metro housing prices is sleeping in their car. If I recall correctly, the strongest corre

Its ridiculous to compare human language to a programming language, even by analogy. They are entirely different domains.
