I tell myself this every time I buy food. If I paid $20 for a plate of food at a restaurant, eating it is the second half of the price. If I eat too much (don't take a box) I pay the second price. If I only eat just enough, the second

Came back five days later to say this: I understand that the problem is these cops being criminals. That's unacceptable. Full stop. My larger point was that apparently people without morals or ethics are being attracted to the poli

Those "inoffensive boxes" look to me, like stuff I would expect to see being built in Russia. I'm offended by them.

I've always had trouble with the speed of light and frame of reference examples. The light moving inside the train is moving from the person on the train to the mirror and back again. That is a fixed distance inside the train. Why doe

On the word “consider”: A friend of mine tells a story about his dad and his appreciation for the practicality of a brick house. Someone once asked him “Would you ever consider putting any other siding on your house besides brick?” His ans

What about their parents??

It’s funny. If you talk to teachers the problem is the 10% of students who make the whole place miserable and no parental support. In fact, the parents make the problem worse by siding the problem students instead of helping the school fix

Off-topic but this article describes pretty much all politicians.

You would only watch sport in person if it wasn't for ads. ESPN and TNT ain't paying the NBA billions for the TV deals so they can not sell ads.

If information can only go out and not in, maybe?

Can Apple comply with this by simply including an adapter in the box?

This is so cool. Also I can't wait until a headlight goes out and it costs $2k to replace it.

I love this little fact but stating, "It is possibly one of the greatest innovations of the 18th century" is ridiculous hyperbole. Or maybe the 18th century was severely lacking in innovations.

Your reaction is a somewhat natural push back against the prevalent idea of selling people on things they don't yet have. But you probably need to temper your reaction. Surely you would expect someone to work on improving themselves.

I don't think you can infer from this article that Meta isn't setting new, measurable and actionable performance expectations internally. Though you could be inferring that from working there or from all the other news about them.

Steven Wright said, "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" When I told this to a friend he answered, "Everywhere."

Probably not. What if you're having to wait on 10 other Ioniq drivers to refuel their cars for 18 minutes each?
