This doesn't mean money has no power over you. Perhaps the billionaire can't buy your willingness to do something, but they can very much affect the material world around you, and therefore, you. If you rent they can probably find

Elections are important, but they're just one part of the political system. A lot of machinations and politics occurs outside the scope of elections or even of the public eye. Money doesn't just buy ads. It influences the decision

Then we should limit peroxide and acetone, sure. I think it's perfectly reasonable to forbid >100ml of acetone in flights, and allow people to bring in, say, a bottle of water or a can of orange juice. We can certainly test if somet

It's a shame too, because it's always seemed like a very cool platform develop for. I developed some simple macOS apps as fun side-projects back in the early 2010s but then very much switched to web; the tools are a big reason why

If you told people in 2006 that 20 years later the best open-source IDE would be open-source, web-based and come from Microsoft, they would've thought you're crazy. Back then Apple had made waves introducing Safari, which was not

There's room for both. You can have security checkpoints where they check your bag for liquids, and you should be allowed to fly with them once they confirm its innocuous. I'm no chemist, but I can't imagine it's hard to

Never said it’s the only factor, and we shouldn’t assume all pain is the same pain The type of pain people weight train suffer tends to be related to muscle or tendon damage. The type of pain that comes from sedentarism tends to be related

Why wouldn’t it work if you plan ahead 3-4 years? Planning ahead doesn’t mean you never suffer from unexpected events, including depreciations. And long timelines help you as much as anyone else.

Another thing to note: slouching and back pain tend to have more to do with back strength than people realize. I have suffered back discomfort and pain in periods I haven’t gone to the gym for long enough to lose back muscle.

At least in SF, last I checked, it's as expensive, or sometimes more expensive, as Uber/Lyft. It'll serve the same sector of the population as those apps already do, so it's unlikely to actually reduce parking needs. The

I don't work or have ever worked at Apple, so I don't know the full details, but I heard the new design wasn't introduced until very late in the development process, and at a point in time where teams are supposed to focus on

I think both aquisitions have little to do with the product, and make a lot of sense when you look at the numbers and broader strategy. WhatsApp had a very clear value at the time of aquisition. It had 450 million users, growth of over 1 mi

I too think AI is a bubble, and besides the way this recklessness could crash the US economy, there's many other points of criticism to what and how AI is being developed. But I also understand this is a design and web development comp

The way I see it, it takes a very selfish person to be a billionaire in the first place— one that not only doesn't care about people today, but also doesn't care about future generations of humans, let alone other living beings. A
