Hey man, if we’re rebuilding roads for the sake of self driving cars, let’s just go back to ubiquitous light rail instead, like we had before cars got popular. This whole self-driving industry is so ridiculous when you consider that this ha

Right now you get muted and banned pretty quickly for mouthing off in any online game. Most games have some combination of costing $60+ up front, being pay-to-win, and/or being grind-to-win, so getting permanently banned from any of t

Man, if I have to dig in that deep to get basic functionality, I'd rather just bite the bullet and get a linux machine set up the way I like

OK, imagine this: A 13 year old makes an account, goes through your onerous KYC process, plays some game. Gets banned for saying something offensive under his breath when the game suddenly turns his mic on without him expecting it. You&#x

Have you ever glanced at the Facebook comments under a news article? It did nothing at all to stop online toxicity when they tied your online persona to your identity, photograph, the identity of all your friends and family, etc. Plenty o

ah, your parents probably didn't let you rent whatever you wanted from Blockbuster or buy porno magazines at the convenience store, seems like it's basically the same thing

Man, that would be great. I'll bet it'd be doable for anyone whose name is tied to public records via home ownership too Scale up what they did to Trump for this NY Times piece: https://www.nytimes.com/interactiv

I think your average "asleep at the wheel" Facebook employee could easily do the work of 10 or 20 ethical guys from your average Midwestern consulting firm. (Unless the work involves having some sort of strong moral compass anyway

Around Mountain View, 150k a year would let you buy a run-down dump of a condo 45 minutes away, or rent a crappy apartment and gradually become poorer every year as housing prices continue to inflate out of control

That's interesting, what do you think sets Boise apart as a good leading indicator? I was thinking the same thing myself, presumably the economy will crumble from the bottom-up next time. So once my rural hometown is a flaming pile of
