I don't know many, if any, fast food places in America that don't have wifi, coffee, fries, and try to keep their restaurant clean (Calling McDonalds clean is debatable). Taco Bell? Even they have Nacho Fries and coffee.

From what I understand (could be wrong): McDonalds forces their franchises to buy these Taylor ice cream machines, and despite the high cost and frequency oof repairs, McDonalds franchisees continue to own and operate McDonalds meaning that

Well government (supposedly) exists to serve the people, why have an issue when the people decide to serve themselves? We should be encouraging it, while finding a solution that is sustainable. Imagine if the city identified this as an issu

Seems like at least in the digital world, there is either public or private information, and that's it. We don't really have a good concept of privilege or protected information. For example, my home address is technically public,

The concept of judging has always included some form of bias. There is no such thing as an impartial judge. AI won't change this, it will just include a different set of biases. I'd rather be judged by a human than a machine.

Very glad this topic is coming up more. It was the default living arrangement for the majority of human history, and still is for much of the world. Here in America, and for much of the industrialized west, the ideal of the nuclear family (

Mentorship is not typically paid for, and books can't interact with you. Our society is so fractured and individualized. We think we have to offer money for everything. We used to have academic societies, social clubs, and many more co

I haven't touched PCB design/EDA since college because it was so cost prohibitive and I lost the student license to Mentor Graphics, but it's something I've always wanted to return to. I am excited to try this out!

I bought Tailwind UI when it first came out, and have been thrilled. I view it as essentially I paid for a high quality template to build off of. You are still expected to know tailwind, or at least that's how I took it, I am not sure
