If these griefers blew out your "carefully optimized logistics network tuned via competition to keep prices down", then maybe there's a problem with it, and its ability to react to crisis or manipulation. What specific rules

You need to accept some responsibility when deciding to ride a motorcycle. You're essentially saying you're okay with your body acting as the crumple zone in a crash. If it's so dangerous out there that you need to rumble aro

I had AIM in the 90s and some behavior I experienced back then would now be considered cyber bullying. It's not unique to this era. I also would not say that relying on being able to escape your physical tormentors on the weekends is a

You cannot ignore infrastructure while saying X is cheaper. AWS Lambda is a "batteries included" solution vs a Pi being "some assembly required". Hertzner is closer, but even then, it's not AWS Lambda. Setup and mai

Is your pi at an AWS data center? How much to co-host it at an AWS-grade data center? Sure a self-hosted pi is cheaper, but that's an apples vs oranges comparison.

Pen and paper stopped being used as early as the early 90s. If standardized testing had nothing to do with medium then how is the parent comment measuring performance of the medium? Letting kids figure it out on their own sounds like digita

So pen and paper is your alternative? Ultimate faith in standardized testing, and suggesting pen and paper in a digitally-dominated economy seems delusional.

Is having a cohesive tech ecosystem for all students really a waste of money? What is the alternative? Rely on children to provide their own devices? That has its own challenges and costs.

Isn't it more likely speculation on future stock price than a belief in real world performance? People can pretend it's due to diligent research resulting in a confident position that Tesla will come out on top, but that sounds mo

That was never the case. Go back even to 386 days and AMD or Cyrix were not always on par with Intel clock for clock. This only really flipped when Athlon came out. You also had to think about DX vs SX, if you got L2 cache, 5x86 is really a

Let's also note that becoming a startup billionaire to then go off and fund your pet projects is a bit of an anomaly. It's very hard to "mimick" the successful parts of their lives.

This assumes perfect information for the consumer. Most capitalist wouldn't advertise they use child labor even if they did. Sweep it under the rug, and focus on the marketing budget instead. Then many consumers are apathetic to a lot
