> telling people not to leave anything visible in their cars I effing hate that attitude. We shouldn't have to live in a society where every moment you have to be vigilant against the bad guys. It keeps piling on. I suspect if we k

I don't know of a solution but ... it makes me think of all the quick rental bikes in the city. The moment they lose power/wifi no one can use any bikes. Maybe that's ok since you're likely only going a few km But it rem

you seem to have ignored that I searched in Taipei and Singapore, not just America. Your argument might work if I choose Thailand and it returns anything European for "French Restaurant" since that is "other". But it doe

crepes != french. My first introduction to crepes was Japan. Yes I'm guessing they got them from France but searching for "crepes" is not the same as searching for "French restaurant" just like searching for "p

> download and change the world vs > 335 glyphs per font Sounds like much of the world was left out. Note: I wouldn't have brought this up if it wasn't for the hyperbole of "change the world"

I didn't say taxes would wreck the economy. I said it would affect the poor. The cost will be passed on to the consumer. I can afford that cost but lots of poor can't You can easily find tons of articles about how inflation hurts

as someone that lived in Japan for over a decade I found it made up. The documentary people could have picked almost any indie sushi restaurant in Japan. I'm not sure what made Jiro special I agree tho it's a good documentary for

Bad comparison. You'd actually have to spend money to buy into a bet. I already owned the stocks. And further there's the reason. I didn't sell to cash out, I sold solely to stop feeling bad anytime a company's stock I o

It's not as different as you're making out. There was no reason to believe it would go down (Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc were all going up). I fully expected it to go up. I knew I was likely to lose money by not just keep

Maybe, but as someone that turned down $6 million because of my conscience (sold stock solely because I didn't like feeling guilty holding it and it's gone up 4x-6x since then), I could do a ton of good things for others if I had

I want to add, I like typescript, I think React is okay. What I hate is the build steps. I tried create-react-app and it's basically on mimimal support, updates broke stuff, outdated deps, devs unresponsive, ... What is the simplest, l

Yes, and put millions of people out of work so they can starve and live in tents I'm not saying your wrong, only that raising the price of fuel raises the price of everything else. Fuel prices go up, shipping prices go up, shipping pri

Of course! There are toxic emissions laws that "prevent" companies from polluting too much. Or rather they limit the amount each company can emit. To get around that limit they just subcontracted to tons of smaller companies, each

What is that number for you? (and others) For me it's pretty dang high. Like on the order of 5-20 million USD in the bank. At some point I'm going to stop working. Rent and life expenses where I live currently are probably $100k a

I hate this too. I got a top end Sony TV and it was covered in ads. I left it in Basic mode but it's still covered in an ugly ad to please sign up for Google TV Then I finally got a PS5 two days ago. It's also covered in ads with

I agree 100% with the usefulness of libraries but the definition of library has to change. > a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to.

Shazam was amazing when it came out but for some reason I ended up switching to Soundhound many years ago and haven't looked back. Maybe Shazam has this feature too but Soundhound would not only Id the song but if it's a popular e

I assumed they were referring to the % cash "back". For example the Apple Card > Get up to 3% cash back on every purchase you make https://apply.applecard.apple/ I've always assumed I'm paying that 3%

Interestingly, in Japan, at least until recently, the way credit cards worked is, when you buy something you'd have to say how many payments you were going to pay it off in and your bank would automatically take money from your bank ac
