It's hard to be worse than Theranos, Holmes put people's health at risk. It's going to be difficult to beat that level of narcissism and recklessness. Every since I heard of WeWork though, I've been fascinated with this

By so many metrics our lives are incredible compared to every other period of human history. Of course it's not perfect, there's always room to improve, but there's a stark contrast between how things actually are and how man

Running Unreal Engine in the browser, in any browser, is pretty cool. I think there's going to be a lot of interesting use cases for it.

Point well taken... oh man, that's depressing, I did completely describe the Internet as a whole.

I find it amusing how much Amazon has reminded me of the rise and fall of eBay. eBay was a fun experience when it first blew up. Then enough people decided they were going to leverage it into becoming a business, and it turned into an annoy

That's a good point. If a farmer mods it into being illegal, it's on him isn't it?

How does John Deere advocate for their position? Is it about protecting trade secrets or keeping the machines in better condition for possible resale? Or did they just stay quiet because they knew they were in the wrong? Whatever it might b

Oh that sucks, thanks for the heads up. I wonder if this means Hulu will be getting phased out? I'm definitely not in love with it, it has some really awful original programming, but it gets the Orville and King of the Hill.

I briefly worked at a insurance company. I sat through meetings where they actively strategized signing more people like myself up, and obfuscating the process for mothers and the elderly. I never looked at those companies the same way agai

You're correct of course, because I have consistently paid for services when they have stuff I wanted at reasonable prices. It's worth it just to relieve myself from the hassle of downloading and filling up my hard drive with stuf

My mind is blown that these sites were actually getting paid subscribers. I thought the beauty of piracy is the whole "not paying for it" thing. I refuse to pay for more than one subscription service, I'm not going to end up

I'm talking about when communities used to help individuals when they had a fire, a bad harvest, lost someone. Helping each other out on a smaller scale. That along with the church (which is why they had tax exemption) used to be our s

That's kind of what I figured was happening, but I guess I'm getting too old to keep up with where the action is at on discord. I get why keeping it private has become so popular, but I struggle to find the flavor there. Reddit se

I never thought about the similarities before, that's an interesting point. You always hear about how the Bible is a collection of many different genres of writing, some which no longer exist, so it's confusing to people with no p

I was on Facebook back when you had to have a college email to be on it. It was were you could go to find out the name of that cute girl in class. It was also when social media was still a new concept. MySpace was a much bigger deal at the

I don't think that sounds too bad. There's very few things in modern life that bothers me more than insurance. Somehow humans used to get by, helping each other out when times were tough. I guess we're too bought in now to go

Even my mother realizes how lame Facebook is now. It's what her generation is familiar with, so it'll take an act of Congress to get them off of it.

I wonder if this kind of behavior is connected to the etymology of the term "murder of crows".

I couldn't agree with you more. People seem to forget that the power to tax someone comes from the barrel of a gun or the threat of prison. Maybe everyone should work for some part of the government for a short time in their life, so t

This is the kind of low-down I look for on these frameworks. It can be difficult to get insight from people who've been deep into a framework because they seem to get emotionally attached to their favorite. They ALL start from some wel

You're correct that I haven't lived in every small town in America, thus having no direct experience, but I routinely enjoy the small towns more than cities. It rubs me the wrong way to see a comment about them only existing becau

Maybe I would be more on board if I felt the government could properly manage the additional funds this would generate. It's not like they have a great track record with what they already have. DC has something like half of the 10 weal

Not every small town is like whatever place you were obviously abused in. I couldn't imagine having to move back to the city. It's exciting and fun to visit the city, but the indifference people display to each other is taxing on
