Just like VW diesel emissions... No better motive to lie than the profit motive!

I listened to this podcast some time back and as I recall all the ketogenic talk was about keeping glucose low due to many cancers being anerobic (the research he referenced goes back to the 1920s). Without ready carbohydrate byproducts, th

I love that the desk in the shots is a coffee bar. Thinking of how customized my coffee setups are it is a clear analogy for ergonomics. Adapting an activity to one's biology.

This whole case feels like it was imagined by William Gibson 20 years ago.

A lot of this is outside looking in. From the standpoint of America things like asking questions is about getting something for free in the off chance the person you asked doesn't charge you for it. Often the answer comes for taking on

Could stand your ground and self defense be a legal defense for assaulting C level execs of immoral companies if the grievance is life threatening? Or would that finally get conservative states to step back from stand your ground?

Well, if you make a cheeseburger $70 sales will fall too. My Alma mater charges more than 4x what I paid 20 years ago for tuition. The systematic refunding of schools has led to this rise in tuition. The rich can afford it and the poor will

Don't forget having to use try... catch for exception handling. This is why promises are the one true way!

I wish people would stop arguing about what's causing climate change and focus on slowing it down or reversing it. In the US you can't discuss solutions without it devolving into a gaslighting debate about reality and statistics.

If I was interested in people I would likely have gone into business/management in school. I imagine if that were the case, I would probably have not liked software development much either. I've consistently chosen to continue to

I'm just glad this is happening while I'm capable and not dependent on the government. I think all the libertarian small government folks will finally start to figure out what a government is when it stops being one. Most of these

I took this to be a question of what reality is. If you are delusional that is your reality. To someone delusional those of us "normies" could appear crazy. It's all in your point of view and level of objectivity. To your poi

Public sector pay is too low for me to consider it anyway. Make it in-person and with lost wages and fuel costs from driving in they may as well not pay at all. Sounds like they'll get the quality employees we usually associate with go

This is their plan to reduce the size of government. Brilliant!

I would expect with the judiciary we have now, the expectation is that it will sell to Microsoft who have built Edge on top of blink/v8. My frustration with this is that Microsoft faced this in Europe with IE at the turn of the century

I think it would do the industry a service. Foreign EVs are 75% better quality than Teslas in my experience. I would buy a Kia EV that I can open the doors of in the winter that doesn't have parts falling off of it for the same price a

Wouldn't most Trump voters agree that "government efficiency department" is an oxymoron?

The M chips will never be as efficient under Linux as macOS. Outside of immulation, Apple wants you stuck in their ecosystem. A Thinkpad is going to end up being just as efficient (or more) under Linux and a little cheaper solely because of

If history is any indicator being from a rich family is a big contributing factor to later success. The more famous Impressionists for example were mostly trained as lawyers. Chasing money robs an artist of time and generates added expenses

But in most of them the people aren't smiling because their lives were miserable and they were too short to play basketball.

Just read this on my Android phone. No issues for me, but my phone uses swiping to scroll. Scollbars are a desktop convention and the author didn't make the decision to exclude them from mobile interfaces. I found the article well writ

I agree with the previous post here. In general garbage code hasn't broken a company I've worked for either. A couple of cents I'd throw in, though: Security holes are a marker of poor quality code and depending on the busine

Would be nice to understand where these conclusions come from. Without backing facts (IP address tracing shell company names -- even example deep fakes etc.) this feels like fake news.

I feel like Ive's tenure at apple was more an indication of top-to-botom product quality than design differentiation (though that was a factor at the time). At Apple as across big business the race now is to reduce costs while keeping

I've come to realize that this is what people do. It doesn't matter if it's tech or shipping or livery or donuts. They start with something special. Something that tastes great or is ultra-convenient or just neat and squeeze
