Except they're not prevented from quitting. If they work at McDonald's, they can walk down the street to Burger King, just not another McDonald's location. To me that seems like enough freedom for employees that I'd want

This is fantastic. I've "learned" this lesson several times (this time it's going to stick, I hope). When I exercise regularly: I sleep better, cope with stress better, feel better, am more productive and have more energ

The crisis that Hossenfelder is addressing is that there has been no significant progress that's been experimentally verified in fundamental physics since the birth of string theory in the 1980s. Yes, there are a lot of big open proble

Maybe I'm missing something, but can you point to a line in [1] where Trump outright denies climate change is a thing? I see a lot of qualified statements like "climate change is a 'very complex subject'" and "

Anecdata. I reserved a Model 3 on day one, but bought a Model S in the meantime. Still holding my reservation, but unless I can test drive a Model 3, and it's a lot more fun to drive, then I'll probably just get a second S.

Scroll down to page 3 for the story of the Vasa, an over-developed sailing ship that sank a few hundred yards into its maiden voyage. Tangent: the Vasa Museum in Stockholm is one of my favorite museums in the world. Indeed, Stockholm may be

I just Googled "us map" and, of the first 32 results, Hawaii and Alaska are missing from 6 of them.

Was trying to figure out if the article was a joke or if it was posted ironically. But it was posted by the article's author, so ...

Okay, here's an unusual one that hasn't been mentioned yet (and I'm completely serious with this suggestion): Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, by Ashlee Vance. [1] Musk is a polarizing figure, n

This actually should not happen if you adjust your bet size to match your bankroll (with the caveat that your bankroll is sufficiently large to be unaffected by the minimum bet). The article you link to actually suggests that, in the firs

I tend to agree. I think anyone who enrolls for a class in entrepreneurship has pretty much demonstrated that they don't have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Not that they're not capable or qualified. And indeed, they might b

I don't disagree (infrastructure should prioritize, or at least accommodate) buses when they're used. But it currently does not. Also, your example seems to be from a dense, urban center, but of course not everyone on those buses

I would love to see separate lanes for buses and cars. In Hawaii, where I live, there was a proposal for an elevated, bus-only, viaduct that ran the length of a major freeway. This would have enabled buses that run as frequently as trains a

by Zanni 8y ago
I've seen this same argument about buses only taking up the amount of space as a handful of cars, but I think it's based on an incorrect assumption. Namely, it's only true in a static picture. If you look at the dynamic pictu

I like to be clear on whether I'm interacting with a human or a bot because different social conventions apply. If you're human, I'll treat you like one, and that means giving you some consideration at the expense of expedien

On the flip side, sometimes to a service's detriment. I think this model works well for MoviePass, Netflix, Spotify, but MasterClass recently shifted to an all-you-can-eat subscription model (before you paid per class), and even though

I specifically whitelisted the ads on Daring Fireball (and a few other sites) because they're 1) relevant and 2) unobtrusive. I would whitelist any site with the same policies. Back when I bought magazines at news stands, the ads were

The word 'deserve' is not used in the article. I think you're missing the point by laying that on them (and by suggesting they're all killers). But counseling and help forming constructive relationships is what they ne

I walk commute often, and especially when I'm traveling. Sure, cars are dangerous, and bicycles are often irresponsible, but pedestrians are the worst. They'll walk four abreast, gather in large groups at chokepoints, block traffi

Wow, that's really cheap. I've been pretty happy with Brown Paper Tickets for a number of years. An important feature for me, that Lil Regie doesn't seem to have, is the ability to place ticket orders by phone. A lot of my cu

I was a hardcore Windows user for nearly 20 years (all the way back to Windows/386), but Mac laptops are the best I've ever used, period. I don't need "innovation" or a design refresh as long as they continue to jus

I believe, in this context, that he's not dismissing the reality of sexism in Silicon Valley so much as suggesting it's not worse than other industries but getting a lot more attention than other industries right now. The SlateSta

I don't think I am. I'm suggesting that much of what the OP takes as not prioritizing web apps is part of a deliberate strategy to protect users. I certainly could be wrong about Apple's motives, though.

Just a note on style--your post reads as a complaint, whether you intended it that way or not. The strong editorial slant actually undermines the meat of the article for me, which is, as you mentioned, documenting the hurdles in publishing

You missed the distinction between brands. "Generally been great" refers to Spin scooters. "20-30% have issues" refers to Bird/Lime scooters.

Yes. What's disconcerting, though, is that the autopilot will often take a different line through a turn than I would. Still within the lane, just not what I would do. For me that felt like I had to correct the autopilot even when I di
