You think that money is the key to scaling up new manufacturing lines, when in fact new manufacturing lines scales up through really hard engineering, and no good, driven, or genius engineer is going to go work for Ford or GM regardless of

So I've had this idea for a large project that would be a great free service for people, and be great for my portfolio. Then, I read this post. It became clear that hunting for paid work would likely have a far greater return on my tim

Why do you think so many westerners goto Asia to "teach" English? I think they go there mostly to experience a culture totally foreign to them. The food and lifestyle is cheap, it's very beautiful, and quite safe.

Burning hydrocarbons is damaging to the ecosystem of Earth, and for that reason it should be used as little as possible.

The most successful business created industries for themselves. In ollieparanoid's case, he's creating a secure and supported OS that runs on any phone, and when you consider that 90% of phones are missing a secure and supported O

Hey thanks for the reply. Sounds like you've also thought quite a bit about this. I'd like to offer my thoughts on your numbered points. For 1, you're right, we have to mine minerals to get these cars to work. I'm not re

It would require react-native because then phones that are not running gnu/linux can also use those react-native apps. So, if you build an app with react-native, then it runs on Postmarket OS and the commercial phone OSes. Perhaps I&#x

Personally I could never drive a ICE car when an equivalent electric vehicle presented itself. I would never forgive myself. Everyone needs to get to electric cars as soon as possible or we cook and die here on Earth. It makes the arguments

I think you make a good point calling it 'A higher level of consciousness'. It makes a lot of sense: In rural environments there is less stimulus and so your brain adapts less; in a city environment, there is a lot of stimulus, so

I disagree that informal conversation is the best way to write. If you're going to write an article, you should convey the ideas in the article as clearly and smoothly as possible. In informal conversation there are tonal and visual cu

I appreciate the suggestion. I am 22 and happened to grow up in a very small town of ~400 people without internet until I was 16. I moved to the city to get software work and I will stay here for the rest of my life. So I guess I'm a h

I think the point is not that humans can learn to cope with urban environments, like you suggest - The point is that humans weren't meant to live in them. Everything the parent poster says is true, and you're just saying "Hum

Well, I am huge fan of Elon and the companies, but I guess that Michael Sanchez's situation of working with his hands above his head all day, resulting in two herniated disks, is really sad. But how else can the work get done? I guess

The comments you wrote in this thread really hit me. I truly appreciate your writing them down, and as other posters have said, writing a blog post about this would be really helpful to us. What you're saying is true. No one cares abou

Yeah but people don't want that! No one is going to invest in getting rid of roads or giving away bicycles. That serves no one but the poor. People will invest in an underground transport network that solidifies Tesla's advant

Ask people in the 1940s if they're comfortable sitting with blacks on the bus. Ask people in the 1970s if they're comfortable with microwaves. How about we phrase a question like "Are you comfortable with legalizing encryptio

I don't think so, I'm sure they imagined the internet in some abstract way, and smartphones really are quite a step backward if you want to quote that. Search is also quite imaginable. We have had hundreds of thousands of software

You can think what you want. But if you're perceptive and think really hard about the individuals at the front of companies, and you've spent time thinking about Elon Musk, it's really clear that he will never stop until some

Regarding SpaceX potential complacency, I think Elon's insanity would prevent that from ever happening. The problem with Boeing and ULA is that they don't have Elon at the helm, just lobbyists and conservative engineers. Better to

Forget about this argument. USA needs tech companies, and they need attractive ones that get investment. You think our tax money that builds roadways and schools materializes out of thin air? No, we need great, powerful, sexy, innovative co

You're very wrong in thinking this is about glamorous legacies, and in fact it's a really terrible thing to say. The issue is that we're losing our technology, and Jeff and Elon and anyone else working on the problem is sa

Anyone who's claiming that there is no direct connection between the improvement of humanity's condition and space travel is right; there is no direct impact, but the indirect connection between new forms of society and an ove

Hi, sure I'll point you in the direction of the meaning of life. It's really the question of why are we here? What are humans and what is our consciousness and emotions? Humans are the most fit creatures for life on planet earth p

Yes, I concur that resistance to burnout depends on having a broader context to your life and humanity as a whole. If you understand your own life within the perspective of the billions of humans that have lived and died before you, and tha

I submit that the working person greatly benefits from having a strongly held, over-arching life goal. Then even if he or she is working a soul-draining job for, say, a social media company, they will be content knowing it is a necessary st
