Wasn't there a YC company where you could buy CO2 neutralization for your website? Anybody remember the name? Is it still around?

Last time I found a memory stick on the street, in the end I tested it with of these "print your own photos" machines in a drug store. I hope they had good security :-/ (stick was unreadable).

I'm not arguing women should prefer Clooney over Joe Average. Just what the general disposition of the human race is. Obviously there are all sorts of strategies for life, and all sorts of aspects to consider. It's just a general

George Clooney is probably at least 1000 times richer than Joe Average. So he could provide better for 50 women than Joe Average for one. Of course it doesn't seems as if he is taking on 50 women, so the women are stuck with Joe Averag

I don't understand what you mean? Surely the MGTOW movement is not increasing the proportion of men who successfully reproduce, given that they seem to be about not reproducing?

The sentence reads "In more recent history, as a global average, about four or five women reproduced for every one man." - in my browser it is directly above one of the charts. I think by recent history, the mean thousands of year

Absolutely untrue. Adventists of the 7th day eat vegan afaik, and people in Okinawa ate very little meat. Both groups are famous for producing more centenarians than the average (global) population. https://www.seventhdayadventis

Doesn't the data discussed in this threat directly contradict your statement of "there are more than enough women for everyone"? And so does historical data, isn't it the case that many men didn't reproduce historic

Women would rather be the second wife of George Clooney than the first wife of Joe Average. Simple as that.

In a classroom, it only needs to recognize 30 people. That seems doable. Car makers also claim to work on detecting dozing off of drivers. What about it should be impossible? Detecting if eyes are open or shut sounds doable, unless everybod

In my office, I don't have pretty Baristas making the coffee for me, and I also can't bask in the sunshine watching the passersbys.

I guess at least by the "it costs you 1 million dollars" logic, you could afford a latte per day if you can also afford to save 10$ a day. Then by the same calculation, you would accumulate 2 Million $ for retirement.

They get away with it because people are queuing for the job. And you can't assume there is infinite money available to spend, either. Of course there is no need to make a job horrible just because it is in demand. I'm pretty sure

Sure, they are free to do that. I mostly take issue with the framing by the NYT, talking of "exploitation" and unionization as the only choice/way to fight back. Especially the "exploitation" bit - game developers a

Because nobody is entitled to a job. Nobody should be forced to give you money. If they don't need your services, why should they? I guess game development is more like wanting to be an artist. What if I want to make a living making pa

The answer is, get a valuable skill set. If you are the only neurosurgeon in the world, and somebody needs a brain tumor removed, I'd like to see them try offer a minimum wage for the operation. It's people's own responsibili

They are not being exploited. They are free to take on another job. Especially coders could certainly find jobs in other industries. And "Fortnite" is not the games industry. There are a variety of ways to make a living making gam

That's not how it usually works, does it with Microsoft? It would be very limiting and annoying to be unable to read books without internet access (say on the beach on holidays, for example). Certainly not the case on Kindle. There wer

If I had bought all my books on Microsoft, I'd be very happy right now. I would be getting hundreds or even thousands of dollars back, that I could use to buy new books.

Won't the books remain on the reader device, even if the store closes? The discussion is also old. I realized that I end up lending only a small fraction of books to other people, and my kids will probably not care about most of my boo

But how long are the kids at school (per day), in that country? We also have schools with no homework in Germany - because kids stay in school the whole day and do the homework at school. Not what I want for my kids.

The reality is that the replacements will use up more energy than the plastic things. For example ceramic cups require more energy for transport, and chemicals for washing up. How do we know the replacements will use more energy? Because th
