I think your math is off? $19M/50 people = $380,000?

Do you have a solution for the "necessary change" that does not involve governments? Or are you in the "we're all going to die anyway so it doesn't matter what we do at this point" camp?

Responding specifically to the "vote carefully every couple years" part of this presumably sarcastic remark: I think this kind of throwaway comment belittles the fact that voting _does_ matter. Last night, the Republicans held a p

I actually have a countertop RO system that puts the filtered water directly into a glass jar. The filtration system itself is certainly plastic.

The things I've read about fluoridation make it sound like fluoride applied to the surfaces of the teeth (eg via brushing) has the most benefit. I have to wonder if your grand daughter was also using a non-fluoride toothpaste.

Does anyone have opinions (or even knowledge of actually reliable data) about whether drinking water filtered with reverse osmosis is worse for you than drinking tap water with PFAS, etc? I've seen the argument made that RO water is wo

For anyone unaware, this article seems like a good point to mention Harrison Ruffin Tyler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ruffin_Tyler He's a _grandson_ of John Tyler, who was President from 1841-1845 (bor

Oh yeah, that's a good point. Given my understanding of trademarks, I'm not sure Terminix's claim would hold up in court, _but_ that's irrelevant because people don't generally want to go to court. I doubt 37signals

IANAL, but my understanding is that trademark law is based on the idea of avoiding confusion in the marketplace. It's possible to have similarly named products in completely different industries without violating trademark law because

Fair point, though I suspect that Google not accepting mail from a particular provider without good reason would cause a bit of an uproar. I definitely wouldn't recommend that folks try to run their own mail servers, so it's true

FWIW, some of my time at Khan Academy overlapped with some of Charlie's and I agree with this assessment :)

It wasn't Pascal on MTS in '92, right? I seem to remember my first year ('90) being the last for MTS in EECS280 (if not entirely). IIRC, we did one program in C at the end of the class but the rest were Pascal. Does seem like

Funny to see this here now. Just a few days ago, I was telling someone about how the CS280 class I took in my first semester at UMich involved writing Pascal running on MTS. We started the semester with $20 of compute time in our accounts a

Hey Jared :) Yeah, good point that text is a potentially fragile approach when combined with git. I think the Squeak Smalltalk folks figured out a way to retrofit git support, so maybe it's possible to go all-in on the representation y

I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid (which I love!) and your comment makes me wonder about another commenter's suggestion to get The Club. My car _has_ the immobilizer, but maybe adding a visual deterrent is a good idea.

I don't think that perspective is fair to modern browser engines. The additions of flexbox and grid layouts took them beyond just typesetting, I think (not to mention all of the work on JS engines, providing APIs for a whole bunch more
