Amazon does have brick and mortar stores - both bookstores and Amazon Go. Walmart's new model is to sell online, but they just aren't very good at it and I don't see Jet saving them.

It absolutely doesn't. My view starts with assuming people with opposing viewpoints in the US aren't evil or bad people. AFTER you've engaged in discussion and their true intentions are known you can make more honest conclusi

It's very disturbing but it's a leftist thing, not a liberal thing. Based on what he writes, he's a leftist. How productive can any conversation be when you have such a backwards and unfair starting point that the other side

Yeah accessories are a challenge. But your comment made me think - how about a phone case that doubles as a controller? Kind of like the Surface keyboard as a phone case or protector with tactile buttons? I found a hard case called Flitchio

Kind of funny. I'm going on 40 but look much younger. People think I'm a Millenial. I'd never dye my grey and white hair because looking older helps me close business for my team and I think clients and partners generally fee

Exactly right. Back in the day you had to know a lot more to get stuff done. You didn't have databases as a service with built in public APIs, authentication, etc. Younger devs have it made in that regard. And the amount of tutorials a

Totally agree. I'm a partner in a small business and I don't have to do any programming but I enjoy it so I dedicate at least 50%. I also run some accounts myself and provide strategy and leadership in addition to the sr. programm

They could design a classic bluetooth controller and sell it for cheap. I'm using the expensive, but awesome Switch Pro Controller on my Android's SNES emulator.

Because everyone is entitled when it comes to housing. When people become obese we say that's not healthy, we should change that. When people knowingly live in disaster zones we say "but they grew up there".

I agree that it cheapens. If everyone starts using this app the way they currently use Facebook and their concept of lots of light friendships, a lot of people will have to make decisions about meeting at any given time because someone want

I'm personally bearish on it too because I'm a firm believer that most people aren't meant to be in your life forever. So many people spend a lot of time trying to maintain a lot of light friendships that they get sidetracked

Both of your points still apply to humans. 1) Having your children around after they are grown up is a threat to the health of your marriage and often your own sanity and financial well-being. 2) "Unwanted competition for resources&quo

Not that I care that some cultures do it, but the whole concept of living with your parents as an adult is pretty much unique to humans. Across nature - you get the boot when you can take care of yourself.

I don't see how you can objectively say all of those points are nutjob - many are just summaries of our existing structure. Perhaps you don't agree with all of them but that doesn't make them nutjob. Racist claim - not seeing

That's a big claim you're making with no evidence. In fact that kind of assumption about someone that thinks differently is what the author was probably referring to.

Many times it's harder to tell. The counterfeits even extend to cosmetics which have huge margins if you fake the label and fill it with crap. Buying from first-party sellers may help but even then Amazon doesn't always ship YOUR

Leftists do regularly paint those with different beliefs as evil just because they have a different point of view. They also have a streak of disdain toward minorities where they start with an assumption that they can't do certain thin

Yeah true BBQ is the way to go. Some people think BBQ includes direct flames on a gas grill. I do use a small propane grill during the week sometimes though (small Weber Q which I recommend for this purpose). I've taken it to the beach

So true. It doesn't get the credit because it's often eaten at a picnic table with lots of napkins. It also uses a lot of cheaper meats. BBQ doesn't apologize for that though. What it does to cuts like pork shoulder is magica

I smoke whole birds including turkeys in my Big Green Egg. When doing a whole bird - breasts get to temp much quicker so you can put ice packs on the breasts before you cook to try and get all parts to hit ~160 degrees at the same time. I d

That's a good point. It would be a hard sell for most companies. But you could probably take a longer lunch because you got work done earlier. Or I suppose use the time for ongoing professional development instead which has a lot of va

In the grand scheme of things though - I don't think most entrepreneurs are doing anything new. Anecdotally I failed on 2 new-idea companies and had 2 successful ones with very little new and I have a third on the way. Most businesses

I'm sure people would take an ad-subsidized car (or ride). Nielsen pays people to walk around with radio tracking devices.
