Ask ten people if they can draw, and half will say "No, I'm not artistic" or "I'm not creative", as though it were an innate quality.

It's more like discipline. You don't do something because you decide to become a person who just doesn't do that thing. It becomes part of your identity, rather than a decision you have to continuously make.

Right. It's the situation where if everything goes well it's wonderful, but if not it's hell. Until level-3 chargers are available every 25 miles EV's aren't viable for long-distance travel. "I did a long trip

Nobody is forcing you to abandon your car, you are just going start absorbing the true cost of the externalities (whether in tolls, taxes, inconvenience, etc). You can decide for yourself then whether using or owning a car is worth that.

Indeed, there's a significant portion of technical debt that's created with the full knowledge that it isn't the optimal approach and will incur a cost of maintenance or use, but might still be the correct tradeoff at the tim

Part of the problem with CEO's and corporations in general is that they are legally obligated to make decisions in the best interests of their shareholders, which also typically is highly aligned with their own incentives. What looks l

What kinds of queries are sprinkled throughout that are not part of AR, or depend on AR? Sure, if you are going to swap out AR for another ORM in the middle of an established project you are going to have a bad time, but if one is doing tha

It's must be some interesting mental gymnastics to equate "protecting consumer rights" to "state control".

There's competing losses happening here: Marginal operating losses per user which would be realized if I use the app, and "market cap" loss as a result of aggregate loss of users. If substantially fewer people use the app, t

To be fair, though, the claim here is "intact vehicles". That's as holy grail as it gets.

On top of that, there is, perhaps not surprisingly, not a good track record of mentally incompetent people being treated well once forcibly institutionalized. Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by other patients and staff, neglect, deplo

The entire argument of the pro-business, pro-capitalist crowd is that they deserve massive profits because they are the ones taking on risk. Except when they take big hits because of the risk they themselves took on, they also want bailou

"improper regulation" is a funny way of saying "deregulation" Banks want deregulation so they can have riskier investment profiles, but suddenly when that risk materializes, it's somebody else's fault that they

I can tell you they certainly went too far the other way in criminalizing it. How many lives have been destroyed because of the War on Drugs?

The coal and oil industries have been quietly bankrolling anti-nuclear efforts for decades under the guise of safety. It's a prime example of astroturfing.

Cities can in fact maintain zoning powers if they can prove that their zoning regulations are equitable. Protection of a historic neighborhood could theoretically be allowed, but must be balanced with other interests.

That would only work if the state allowed those deed restrictions to stand, which it likely wouldn't. Just because Houston allows such a clause doesn't mean California would.

How many domestic problems in developed countries are the result of income inequality? Probably most of them. Poor education, poor wages, poor health(care)...these exist because of the billionaire class extracting wealth from the economy. T

You're missing the point a bit. Replace energy with food, water, medicine, microchips, or any other commodities necessary for modern life and the point still stands.

Ambition, backed by a lot of money. He's certainly not the first person to say "What if we could reuse the rocket?". Musk's contributions can pretty much be summed up by "already had a lot of money" and "h

To start hallucinating? Sure. To engage in dangerous behavior? Hardly. That said, alcohol is a lot more predictable in its effects for a given dosage. And also the dosages are a lot more reliable. There's a reason it's perceived &

There are occasionally times when everything is critical. Often this is in the early stages of survival for a company. If this is a chronic problem, or it's an established company, though, you realistically have two solutions that don&
