Food control is easy but we don’t actually want it. 1. Prohibit large companies from using their size to negotiate prices, like how it used to be 2. Stop farm subsidies for all but the most critical areas. If you want to make food availa

I haven’t seen this. There are more smaller companies than larger ones. At my company, as a manager, I encourage the use of AI because it appears to make developers about 10% more efficient, helps kickstart new projects, and improves job

Wow. This whole comment section is full of armchair CEOs saying how the iPhone, ARM laptops. tablets, and AirPods are just inevitable outcomes. Yet nobody else was able to do it. Microsoft, for all its power and money, couldn’t make it ha

I can understand the benchmark issue. It often happens when someone benchmarks something, it’s biased or wrong in some way. I don’t believe it should be legal, but I see why they would be butt-hurt

Oh they do, but the democrats are so hated but a significant percentage of the population for their recent actions, people had to make a choice, and they did. I’ve heard it described as “I know I’m being robbed, but I was already being robb

This. Two things are rarely mentioned When you compare apples to apples, male vs female engineering manager with similar backgrounds, the pay is the same. In the Bay Area it favors the woman. Desire has a large part. It’s no coincidence th

His stupid idea to buy in a place that has gotten more expensive than almost anywhere in the country. I can cry that my dream flat in London is more expensive than I expected 30 years ago but that just shows how stupid I’ve been the last 30

So why are we taking care of them? They can go get their own jobs, housing, manage food, health, etc. Being happy doesn’t mean you ok. They require extensive care throughout their lives

A parking lot is an excellent use of self driving. First, I want to summon my car. Then, when leaving, if I’m in a dense area with lots of shopping, the roads can be a pain. You have to exit right, immediately get into the left lane, thre

Why the hell would anyone do this instead of using any one of dozens of purpose written tools that accept configuration files? They take less than a second to run, can run on every save, and are free

Your ability to be creative is a distant second to being able to take care of yourself. You are not the only consideration, there is also the rest of the population. It’s not like we have some endless “West” you can go to and be by yoursel

This is reactionary, elitist, and false. I know many of “those people” and not a single one of them religious. American leftist insults always go like this - X is bad, but only if it originated from us. The self loathing is amazing. * Reli

It was. I remember taking road trips with the assumption that our destination location would be a very different place. Different accent, styles, restaurants, overall feel. Today, it’s almost the same everywhere I go

Seriously? A candidate puts in a week of work and he can’t be guaranteed a 30 minute discussion? Nobody is getting a few hundred or few thousand submissions to evaluate. Nobody. If you are getting 1k applicants, at best 50 are asked to d
