   I'm building a freemium browser extension ( https://trashpandaextension.com/ ) that primarily removes "social metrics" (number of likes, subscribers, views, friends, etc. you see on websites) and sales tactics

   They don't think they can handle more work with fewer workers. It's just a profit squeeze, and someone else pays the price.

   I lived in Highlands Ranch, CO for roughly half a year, and man the suburban sprawl in anything outside of Boulder is on steroids. My impression of Colorado is that it's a "hot" place to be right now (very much hyped as the

    I see similar arguments with vehicle prices, where vehicles are more expensive, but they are higher build quality, have more features (heated seats, blind-spot warning, etc.), so it's not technically correct to use the term "infla

    The analogy to pacifiers may be overly condescending (equating adults to children), but in general I have adopted the view that smartphone usage in public is essentially second-hand smoke, and that hopefully within the next 1-2 decades the

    This article is about petroleum-derived products, and cutting your carbon footprint by choosing alternatives. One thing I can't shake about the EV "revolution" is that it's going to require a massive expansion of our ren

    Also worth adding that wealth doesn't need to mean owning more material possessions. Wealth can take the form of knowledge, opportunities, increased quality of life, etc. Think educational wealth, mental wealth, spiritual wealth, etc.

    Besides the high-tech hype, there's also the economic absurdity behind all these proposals. The average American household already spends 1/6th of its income on (car) transportation. These VTOLs are cars on steroids, with even mor

    What's genuinely odd is that universities offer something of value that towns and (small) cities should be able to: providing anyone (not just students) a human experience. I do agree with you that there are societal norms to dump larg

    What's the consensus on the tech market being really hot right now? Does that imply a potential crash in the future, or simply a "cooling down" or plateau-ing? Can anyone point to some commentary on future expectations, beyon

    Thanks for the feedback. There seems to be some conflict with how to define "counterfactual". Merriam-Webster defines it as "contrary to fact" [1], so that comes down to a statement being either true or false. But the wa
