This is garbage. The real villains are Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax. They would have condemned half a billion people to death just to give Britain a few extra years of peace.

I’m not sure what the motive is of this piece. Are we going to tax more the most opioid ravaged parts of Ohio to pay for the poor in New York City? Poverty today is closely linked with housing prices. If your housing is too expensive, it’s

Oh come on. Because people want to make money. I understand the impulse, I like money too. But these drug company executives have got to give ground, just like Amazon had to today. Also fun fact, Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia has a

Totally anedcotal evidence, but the first 5 top level comments (make that 6 now) are all against Amazon for NYC. Looks like we’ve reached our “Gettysburg” moment against corporate welfare. Terrible years of war still left, but the tide has

Tim Geithner was Obama’s treasury secretary. Are you curious what he does for a living now? He is President of a payday loan company. Hope you’re proud of yourself Tim. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/private-equity-firms-

David Cleevely has a Twitter history going back YEARS vehemently opposing Brexit. For the American readers here, I would say it drives him more crazy than how Democrats feel about Trump + how Republicans felt about Clinton from 1994 up unti

Excellent summary. Part of the reason he interstate got built / was such a success was that there was enough goodwill and cohesion in society to see the whole thing through. JFK served in his unit alongside guys who hadn’t finished the

Being an expert violinist takes about 4 hours of “purposeful practice” per day from 5 until 18. Really even this just means “good enough to get into the school that can then maybe get you into the Berlin Philharmonic”. This is also where Ma

What is the purpose of validation would you say with modern computers? At one time, specifying the exact number of chars was good for squeezing out as much storage as possible, but less so today.

H1-B employees and American Workers have both been abused by corporations in the US. I have seen this first hand how many people trying to get a junior software development job with decent background experience get the “ladder of opportunit

The entire trend of research in animal consciousness over the last 300 years has always been “animals turn out to be more conscious than we think”. If you look at how the London Zoo treated animals in the mid 1800’s, you’ll see how even the

Lol remember in the mid-1990’s how self regulation of industry by industry was going to change everything? Industry was going to regulate extremely effectively because it understood all the “nuances” and save the government the expense of h

I feel embarrassed saying this but if we consider Alexa a certain form of “AI” then the talk I’ve heard about “VoiceOps” would be super duper helpful. I can’t say this without sounding extremely lazy, but to be able to ask my computer “what

I’ve been to Israel and really like the county. That being said I also have enormous respect for the Iranians, and consider it an incredible country. If relations between the US and Iran were even somewhat stable I have no doubt it would b

With regards to private companies not following OSS model, what I will say to that is money changes absolutely everything. Not necessarily badly, but things will be unrecognizably different.

This puts the burden on the individual. We’ve had 30 years of this. What is government or business going to do about it? They’ve been exempt / free from responsibility for far too long. They are as lazy as the “welfare queens” they onc

I have no student loans. ROTC paid for all of my college. Yet 15 minutes ago I got a call from “Robbie”, clearly a domestic call as he had 100% American accent, to talk about restructuring my federal student loans. Why is our country so inc

Amazon does not deserve any breaks. US Steel employs Unionized blue collar workers with a pretty decent entry level training program. The other steel companies are not unionized at all (looking at you AK Steel). While they don’t deserve the

“Hard to become an expert. Easy to be an expert.” I spent many years learning how to do cloud architecture. Now I can briefly look at AWS documentation for new services out of the corner of my eye and know all I need to for the next 6 month

I like Farnam Street. However this one article title is probably the best example I’ve seen of how the ENTIRE self-industry is really just recycling insight that was developed in the early 1970’s ad infinitum. It’s not that self-help is bad

Try sending an SOS message through LinkedIn. You can add up to 300 characters in your invite. Also you can call them. There was a case 4 months ago with me where I had to reach out to a secretary (person who answered the phone) and tell her

There is a certain amount of arrogance to always being afraid of vendor lock-in. Most companies don’t survive, even the best ones might be just around for 20-25 years. The big worry should be on building a business that won’t immediately di
