what a well written article. Very human. Refreshing to read in the era of AI. Witty without trying too hard, genuinely funny, yet informative, and succinct. I'm going to have to read more from Steven Morea!

50yr old tech (mouse) still hangs around because it is effective. Whatever this Google slop is, will likely not replace mice. The mouse has been successful at passing the test of time. Most of Google's own hardware products don't

I actually see it as quite worrysome. This would crowd out competition, but then gives full monopoly of payments to the local government. If you are say a political outcast, there's a single point of failure in getting debanked. Not g

Yet people risk their lives to go in illegally. Something doesn't track. Its because, inequality is not the problem. The problem is the ability to move between income levels. That coefficient used to the highest in the US. Rich peopl

Here you go: The WARN Act is triggered if there is a mass layoff of at least 50 employees (excluding PT) and that number represents at least 33% of the active employees at a single employment site OR, if RIFF means closes location (with 50+

Not true. You often see it semi-pro soccer. Previously, you could see player coaches even in top-flight elite soccer. There's a reason for this change. As players became elite and specialized by position, the budget for specialization

I stopped using chrome 15 years ago and de-googled my life 5 years ago. The hardest thing to let go in fact was Gmaps (most alternatives, until recently, were not great) and I'm still captured by android, but rome was not built in a da

Please elaborate. From what i know based on prior research, most metro (including NYC) recycling is effectively a scam. How do you mandate composting in NYC ? Are you implying that all buildings have now must build a 3rd chute specifically

That's no longer true. You can have ICRA etc plans, for the tax benefits. The truth of the matter is that employers pay a humongous share of the health insurance bill, and if you shop directly, you will pay that 100% on your own. You d

You are conflating copyright with free expression. That's not correct and the law is clear on this respect. No one has standing to sue you if you decide to sing in public a Michael Jackson song. However, the moment you start selling ti
