I bet this isn’t the entire solution but it seems like a really good part of it. I know seniors are snapping up Ranchers in the US, which takes away a starter home option for people just getting into homeownership.

I find Windows 11 so offensive with its telemetry and pestering for sharing additional information that I am not at all lured away like I once was by the promise of the Surface. I hope others feel the same and they revert to how Windows 7-1

“DuckDB in general keeps surprising me with these unobtrusive low friction integrations.” I couldn’t agree more. DuckDB has been fantastic. I originally started playing around with it for poking at parquet files, but often use it for CSVs,

Either you should speak with someone or you’re not being genuine. Sorry that your experience led you to believe you’d rather be homeless.

Nothing wrong with finding a new hobby but this is a stereotype of tech workers. If it isn’t woodworking, it’s beekeeping or some other perfectly fine side quest. I have a small issue with the way the people who get into these hobbies are s

Cancer treatment is way better now than even a few years ago. Miles ahead of the 90s. The bee population in America is supposedly growing very quickly thanks in part to tax breaks in Texas. Global poverty is way down. Large part of that is

I had to look up “opening the kimono” and it’s kind of an interesting tangent. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/11/02/360479744...

We’re essentially talking about the Fermi paradox. I think speculation is expected and the channel is upfront about their cited research. Your comment could apply to any one commenting on these topics and so I am confused.

Kurzgesagt has many videos on this topic. In one video, they point out we may actually be in the right place at the right time and could be one of the first civilizations. This seems egocentric at first, but if you consider how chaotic the

But Apple did go public when the FBI was bothering them. They aren’t a little shop.

I 100% agree. There is a balance and also different dynamics based on the trajectory of the company. When a company is growing, you could have new blood and old hats. When a company is shrinking, everything sucks.

If that were the case, why wouldn’t Apple come out and say this is what is happening?

To add to this, the churn creates inefficiencies within companies since new employees need to onboard and can take as long as two years to truly understand what the heck is going on within the org. If you have less churn, you have better ef

It’s true but a lot of the reduction in price is having a mature manufacturing industry that the components can be sourced from.

I enjoy my car but I think the same way we have the ADA for public buildings, there should be some level of walkable areas nearly everywhere. I’m currently frustrated in my new location that there are random sidewalks that aren’t connected

I think eventually we run into a heat pollution problem. More efficient use of energy can grow a society as well.

I did not know in 600 million years trees would basically go extinct. Even if it is an incredibly far away time, I wonder what the gradual process will be.

Just wanted to point out that life likely introduced Oxygen into the atmosphere.

I enjoyed that video too. If the point of colonization of Mars is to diversify where life is to avoid full extinction, we really need to think bigger. That channel is filled with examples of nearby Supernova and Quasars that could extinguis

Talk to enough MBAs and you realize most of them are following the same playbook. They all say and do the same things and no one cares as long as things aren’t disastrous. But it is the safer option and probably results in less innovation.

Sure, but they can rebalance equities and carry those losses forward for years, reducing their taxable gains. They aren’t playing the same game as most of us. Having cash and taking advantage of treasuries and other loans is providing prett

There are some shady incentives for realtors when buying a home in the US. The seller and buyer agents often know each other and talk to each other in particular areas. They do favors for one another. Sometimes it helps you, sometimes it hu
