When I was in college I had a pretty sweet house-sitting gig with a guy who was out of town for a lot of the year operating commercial research vessels. He paid me $250/month to watch the place while he was gone, take care of his dog,

I guess this works great right up to when the contents of ~/bin/ are added to a CSV for whatever reason.

If this is true then is a ban even necessary? Or are just 15% of the people responsible for all single-usage of plastic?

I didn't miss it. Read the entire (tiny) subthread... Logically I agree that this is a "distribution" or "social" problem, not solely "the fault" of urbanization (that is, the "correct" social po

Really? It bears out everywhere I've ever lived and also in the archaelogical record. Don't make the mistake of equating inequality with poverty. Specialization is certainly a great driver of efficiency and wealth creation. This t

Urbanization facilitates specialization which is the engine that drives inequality. So, make all your houses and lots 2x smaller and suddenly you can have more density and higher levels of inequality. Yay?

I think a lot of people can tell from the writing when English isn't someone's first language and are willing to give them a little break. Also I bet there are ESL business owners who have an English-first speaking friend review t

It's fine to study the forest, but it's also fun to look at individual trees. On another level we are deterministic chemical reactions and all language is just flapping meat sounds. So what?

When I was in 6th grade I would get released from class 15 minutes early and was charged with changing the litter and feeding the school cat. This only took 5-10 minutes, tops. So I'd spend the last few minutes of each day in the libra

Right, I already have a spouse. Unlike a random box of algorithms, our relationship creates a whole stack of mutual incentives so I know I can trust her output. She's not going to slowly start rebooking all my meetings to take place at

The other difference is that with a buy back your return is reinvested in the stock. The company could make a mis-step tomorrow and make it go away. With a dividend the return is liquid and risk free. If you are re-investing your dividends

If we can demonstrate that life moved from Mars to Earth then the most likely explanation for life on Mars is that it also got there from somewhere else.

by c22 2y ago
Even more interesting would be the discovery that life developed on Mars and on earth. And whether that happened around the same time or at different times.

On pandora I find every channel I make eventually slides into the nearest "standard" repetive theme (often abandoning the seed content entirely). I always assumed it was nudging me towards the content with the lowest licensing cos

But in this very thread people are saying things like "It should not be considered okay for there to be jobs that cannot earn a decent wage ... since we ... see people working these jobs full time." "...for most people, th

Gp is invoking the pop-culture understanding of the marshmallow test as a rhetorical tool to underline a point. I don't think their siblings are being asked to defer literal marshmallows.

The insane thing is people trying to make a livable wage off of "gigs". We should stop pretending this is or ever can be reasonable full-time employment. Driving for apps is something you do on the weekend to supplement your day j
