That's not what Wikipedia says [1]: > During the Great Depression, New York had as many as 30,000 cab drivers. With more drivers than passengers, cab drivers were working longer hours, which led to growing public concern over the ma

Debt as an investment is fine. If you are investing in your future with your education, okay, but that requires the education be practical. It must have a value greater than its cost. That is not true for most education and thus we are

Global Dimming is caused by pollution emitted into the air. This has caused a decline in the Pan Evaporation rate. Meaning, less water is evaporating now than decades prior. My concern is, if we stop polluting the environment and the global

How is this different from Jira, or remote worker software that periodically captures your screen to be sure you're actually writing code and not grabbing a coffee? The amount of surveillance I've seen lately is scary. We had a ne

I never created an account there. I tried a couple times to add a comment or answer a question or ask a question and everything I wanted to do required more points than I had. I had no time or interest in building cred, just so I could help

All the industries are competing to be the one by which you display your worth to society. The order as I see it is: House, Car, Clothes, Phone. Jewelry goes in there somewhere. Each of these products is trying to convince you of their va

Okay, now I get it. I missed that part of the article. That's the arrogance. I like the ideas in a lot of these articles, I just don't have time to read them all. I miss the old days of tldr's.

I get similar videos recommended to me on computers I've never watched similar videos on before. They track you by more than your computer. I've had videos recommended to me on my computer that were interests of friends who had vi

My understanding is that the Anthropocene is definable because human gas emissions have created a visible layer in the rock strata that will be evident for millions of years. Geological time from now, there will be a black line in the rocks

If any of the Shark folks are reading, I'm looking for a remote job. I have an ILife robot and tell my friends all the time about features I'll be implementing into it with my own hacks just like the ones iRobot is suing you for -

Stoicism seems to help me the most. Marcus Aurelius is my hero. Someone who had all the power in the world to indulge, yet said not me. I wish we had leaders like him today.
