I don’t think high rises are ideal either. Amsterdam or somewhere like that is more ideal to me.

I would argue the core issue is actually overpopulation (or in the case of California too many people wanting to live there but also trying to balance preservation of Nature). And it's certainly much more acute in California. Tokyo is

"The Chinese students were deemed inadmissible to the United States based on information discovered during the CBP inspection," the CBP statement said. Look. The Feds don’t always have bad reasons for doing things. I know we have

I just came back from the UK and Ireland. The craft beers were pretty average compared to what I get in the US but I’m sure they’ll continue to improve. It’s honestly just average craft beer in the US. It’s been a few years since I was in t

My absolute favorite beers are Belgian Trappist style beers. I love good German beers too. But I’ve been preaching for years if you compare country to country, the US military super power is dwarfed by the beer super power that it has becom

I don’t think it’s a weird thought, but earlier humans wouldn’t have been able to cause climate change as we understand it today or destroy themselves with nuclear weapons because the evidence would be readily available in the geographic re

I am not a fan of reactionary comments like this, given that Apple laid off 300 people (with pay) out of 6,000 people they employ, and those people were transcribing Siri conversations at that.

If large companies are banning security tools in the interest of safety that’s a failure of government, and third party app stores will face the same restrictions. Aside from that, the iPhone app ecosystem is perfect for me. Maybe it’s not

I'm not sure if you have parents or relatives that call you for iPhone tech support, but I do. Even something like resetting a locked iPad requires a call sometimes. It's crazy. Now imagine people downloading all sorts of scam app

Which sounds fine until your mom hears about this cool App Store from her friend on Facebook, downloads a bunch of crap, and winds up at the Apple Store with Apple having to fix damage caused to her phone. I’m a little less sympathetic with

I'm not sure about how much worse things were. But I saw a source from NBC that says it was not practiced under the Obama administration although they very briefly considered it.[1] This was a quote I thought relevant, however because

As long as you buy used! It looks like Patagonia just sells new versions. Better yet, borrow from a library or friend.

Or maybe miscalculating (I mean here thinking the U.S. isn't willing to go to war but turns out they are) and invading Taiwan. I'm honestly not sure how the U.S. and allies would respond. In my opinion, with the current Chinese ad

If you don’t like this you need to write to your representatives or call their office. Literally send an email or pick up the phone right now and call them to tell them you disapprove of this action. If you can’t even just a single minute f

Let's not forget that this does cause some negative externalities. I like the idea of it overall, but I think we need fewer people on the planet (1bb max probably) and a more overall educated and wealthy population for it to be success
