an important question to ask is, who is ultimately allowed to control their living environment (i.e. neighbourhood)? I think it can be easy to try and draw a circle around NIMBYism and call it a class issue. I think it could be that in part

This technology is useful for many industries. At PlanGrid, we built a version of this into all of our native platforms as well as into our web app. Allowing people to see what changed between pdf revisions was a priceless tool, even for le

It is actually amazing how much effort is seemingly expended on things like this. I think it's pretty simple: - there are a lot of people out there who love obsessing over software - they want to obsess over software - so they invent a

for a while I do believe 'town car' was actually an option.

SPACs are done. SEC is finalizing rules on the topic and have been for more than a year now. there's a reason you don't hear about them anymore.

i actually prefer yellow cab. even though my uber rating is in the top 1%, I'd rather not have to worry about annoying the driver, not accidentally closing the door too hard, making sure to not keep the driver waiting, being responsibl

yes, instead we can waste the bandwidth on reddit, twitter, instagram, and netflix.

bonds are high because interest is high. interest makes money more expensive, which generally causes less economic activity, not more. so that's a weird bit of causality that you've included in your comment. in particular, in tech

The enshittification also seems to be growing the fastest too. The first day or two was great. It was only content from the immediate network, or things they liked or reposted. Now? So much low-effort content. Like "memezar" posti

If productivity is so important, why are people using laptops at all? Desktop processors are faster.

I don't see it as impossible... Cosmic events frequently give rise to events that might not otherwise happen. The real question is, is the change meaningful? If you have a tsunami but it doesn't change anything meaningful, is it a

there's a vast difference between only knowing a bit and applying a little thought and only knowing a bit and not applying any thought. Without thought/consideration, you can hold an obviously incorrect position for quite some tim

The amount of effort that goes into good-faith moderating can't be underestimated. The goal that reddit is trying to accomplish is to reopen the closed subreddits. I think that this MIGHT accomplish that. What I think it may also accom

it's not enough to be marginally better. you need to be a LOT better to overcome network effects and activation energy. reddit became substantially better when digg ruined their product. actually, digg didn't work at all when they

it's not just google. it's the web. all of the web's useful information--decades of discussion--is stored in reddit's garage. and they've decided to close the door.

i really liked 2013 deschutes. i actually still think their older beers are good. mirror pond is still, imo, the quintessential pale ale. i miss chainbreaker. and the red chair was always a nice seasonal treat. i can't blame them for t

AFAIK, the FDR and CVR can both be disabled by crew to some degree. I think they can be disconnected from the aircraft's power system (by fuse/breaker), but they also have some amount of battery backup. Part of Federal Express Fli

So leaks about future products isn't a security threat? I think it is. That could definitely affect the stock price. Depending on the leak, it could definitely be more of an impact than a ip or data security breach. What will people do

that is a pretty sweeping claim given the limitation of science when it comes to understanding the psychoactive effects of entheogens. Especially for something like spirituality, which is almost by definition something experienced within.

one thing that's important to remember is that there are degrees of immunity. ending up with a cough is very different ending up in a hospital, needing a ventilator. people forget that flu vaccines are important: many people die from t

my 7a and 6a both have this behaviour. It's not super uncommon for google to roll out UI/UX changes chronologically with phone release dates. ... so look forward to that on your next Pixel, I guess.

Google's products do seem to be getting progressively shittier, in profound and confusing ways. take their home assistant, which used to be able to find information online and compose an answer to your natural langauges queries. Now sh

I wear a Manta when I need an eye mask, which has cups around the eyes so your eyelids do not contact anything. Recommended if you'd rather have a proper solution.

Well yeah, cutting workforce seems like it only has upside to these companies. Expenses go down, profit margin and share price go up. What're the workers gonna do? Protest? Strike? Hah. No, the remaining employees will pick up the extr
