Foreign Affairs is really high quality writing, and doesn't have too many ads. I also used to subscribe to N+1, and that was good too.

Wow, it’s really scary that there are apparently tons of companies with non-compliant hazardous waste practices.

Maybe it was wishful thinking, but it also worked in several cases! South Korea was a high-profile success of this strategy, for instance, with a successful transition to democracy in the 90s.

I'm going to reply twice, because I'm a true believer (TM). Another set of advantages comes from how declarative Angular is. With React and JSX, everything is super imperative (setState, loops to generate dom, etc). In Angular, Rx

In my opinion, the biggest advantage of Angular is how batteries-included it is. Everything just works out of the box, and project configuration is very standardized. The framework owns everything from common UI components (Angular Material

Sounds like your friends are pretty extreme outliers. I don't know a single LGBTQ person who votes for Republicans... and I know a lot. I suspect it's less than 10%, maybe less than 5%.

Indeed, the opposition to only some substantive due process decisions, and not others, seems a bit political.

150mg THC for a single edible is absolutely bonkers. If you only use ~1x per month, around 3mg is a common threshold dose, and 5mg can be rather strong. So that's 50x the naive threshhold dose!

I think the point is that white Americans fled the suburbs in the 70s in order to avoid paying urban taxes and living in racially diverse areas, while still using urban services and relying on the economic activity in urban centers. This le

Apple is very close with the media entities that receive royalties from MPEG, h.264, etc, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Great to see King Musk, the future arbiter of our public discourse, responding with a deeply thoughtful poop emoji. The constant shitposting is exhausting and I wish he would just go away for a month (or year...). Edit -- this is a mean twe

I feel like antisemitism is making a comeback (if it ever really went away, although it seemed better for a while in the 90s and 00s). I attended a Bar Mitzvah recently, and they hired an off-duty cop to keep an eye on the doors. When I was

Confluence search has always been hilariously awful. It’s completely unsurprising that this hasn’t been fixed, as they don’t seem to have improved anything about search in the last decade or more.

Unlike in the US, European wild rabbits and domestic rabbits are actually the same species, so it's hard to tell if these rabbits are naturally wild, or were released.

I initially thought this was a tech blog by Hayden James, the musician. [1] I was like "wow, what a multi-talented guy!" Alas, it's not the same person. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_James

Elon is a self-professed "free-speech absolutist." I don't think it's good for absolutists of any stripe to run our social media companies. There's no quick fix for the problems twitter faces.

Fair enough, but for some categories of apps (e.g. messengers), most people find them indispensable.
