38 year old. I used to go on here as a teenager and even then I felt like Gandalf pouring over a mysterious, powerful, and ancient text resource. I was enamored by the "hacking McDonalds" file and wished it were't obsolete ev

What I don't get is... why do businesses use it? My local podunk pizza joint uses this insanely basic, yet fully sufficient service called "weborder.net". Feels like it's straight out of the movie The Net. There are NO a

What about all the relatively poor Alaskans who fly small planes around (no roads, tracking animals, checking traps)? What are the dynamics such that they can afford that lifestyle?

What about non-autistic migraine sufferers with extreme tendency towards sensory overload? eg: smells especially fragrances, loud noises, ultra quiet noises, repetitive noises, too many people talking at once, etc? Half of those can trigger

How does a government meaningfully and objectively determine what is transfer pricing vs profit shifting in practice? Are they even capable of distinguishing the difference in a case like Twitch:Amazon? Furthermore... isn't this the cr

I need this combined with Alltrails or some other trail map data! My 4mo old absolutely hates direct sunlight which makes finding good walks/hikes in a carrier very challenging.

If you think we've hit peak you're grossly underestimating the sheer volume of copyrighted books, manuscripts, screenplays, podcasts, movies, documents, history, and research papers that ChatGPT hasn't been trained on. There&

No I literally mean build a giant wide railroad and make something the size of a container ship, which has the capacity. That's what goes on the rails. We're talking about Mexico right?

by Solvency 3y ago
So then why not build a bigger rail system and put the land equivalent of container ships on rails? I'm serious.

Don't sweat it. It's not hard. The dumbest sixteen year olds in America manage it. But here's a pro-tip. You don't even have to learn to drive. Just choose one primitive skill and pick a corresponding vehicle: Don't

But why not? Why can't they fail? Why can the world have so many car makers and yacht makers but we can't disrupt up a flailing company like Boeing?

I agree but...huh? Chat apps? When are they dealing with linear color space? With video messages?

It's a weird point to make. Does Boeing need your defense? In real life this is what happens. Bad students. Repeat offenders. Criminals. Neverdowellers. Their actions get spot lit and they're put under a microscope I don't se

While it's obvious that this is somehow commercially/financially advantageous to Amazon, I'd love to know more about why. What are the economics behind the shovelware merchandise Amazon upranks to users?
