You can use whatever rules you like with your friends. When I play Monopoly with my friends we like to put fees and fines on "Free Parking," then if you land there you can take the money. We all agreed it's more fun this way.

30 years is extremely pessimistic. Humans are amazing at adapting their environment to meet their needs and change is already occuring. I agree that 200 is the high end of the range, but I have always been an optimist :) I disagree vehement

The same is true for any proposal that involves half of the world reducing their living standard to match those below the median. For reference, the median per capita household income is a little under $3000/year [0]. [0]: https:&#x2F

This was possibly an option 30+ years ago, but I think we may have sailed past that point of no return. We will need to double down on human industriousness in order to accomplish massive necessary geoengineering and/or bioengineerin

Yeah, I don't get it. Even if the appraisal cost $500 that represents 4-5 months of extra pmi payments. It's not clear from the article, but it sounds like the author might not have had the 32k sitting around liquid, so they proba

I keep all my old cell phones too, but I had to get rid of a run of them from around 1998 - 2008 because the plastic started turning sticky a while back.

Around 25 years ago I worked the PoS at a retail establishment. We ran all credit card payments using a machine that would dial-up our payment processor for each transaction. It used the same line as the fax, so if we were receiving or send

Well, 5% said "Something else," so the most charitable reading already puts us at 65% being able to afford it. But the way the question is worded leaves a lot of fuzzy room around the edges. For instance, a financially illiterate

The stat is from Bankrate's annual survey [0]. Every year all the outlets breathlessly report on how many Americans can't afford a $1000 expense, but this is a disingenuous reading of the data. The actual question asked is: &quot

Probably about 20 years ago, near Boston, I remember noticing a reddish-brown squirrel sitting in a tree gnawing on a fried chicken leg and found the sight mildly absurd.

If autonomous cars reduce traffic-light response from 3s to 3ms there may be some temporary improvement. But a 3ms delay is still a delay and as traffic speeds and volume increase this delay will again become problematic. The realities of p

I was being sarcastic. Perhaps in the future I'll have enough trust in autonomous digital systems (and their designers) to close my eyes and walk across a street while high-speed traffic seamlessly weaves around me, but the sum of my e

But not infinite resources. .. If we accept the hypotheses of an expanding universe then we find ourselves in a pickle as our potentially infinite resources race out of our light cone faster than we can chase them.

The argument that our rate of growth will decrease in the future is not incompatible with the argument that our current rate of growth is unsustainable.

The link predicts that in 400 years we reach a growth limit at the 100% solar exploitation of earth's entire surface area, so it's likely we'll have to get off planet well before that. It goes on to predict that to maintain

Probably a better approach than the futile attempt to excise all routers with backdoors or bugs would be to continue the ongoing efforts to make network security router agnostic.
