From a dietary point of view this is good, [assuming you can still afford to eat].

I wonder what great historical works we would have today had aggressive assholes not taken the space of more compassionate contemporaries. Or do you truly think nothing of value would have been created by the considerable non-abusive popula

There are several billion people on this planet. If we push out the asshole savants, then there will be room for the respectful savants who have been there all along. There are too many well-educated, compassionate, clever people out there

Brave is rent-seeking the entire Internet and doesn’t deserve serious mention.

Liberals are also against baldly corrupt subsidies, of course.

They live in a community. If they raise prices such that their friends and neighbors can not afford to eat there, they will become social pariahs. It would be very difficult to do, and it would alienate the very people they probably wanted

No. Under capitalism, companies make what their consumers can afford. And these days, very few consumers can afford what they want, so the market becomes irrational. We have to buy, and thus encourage production of, what we don't want.

The movement of most music players, led by iTunes, away from Miller columns as the default navigation paradigm has sucked for me. For me, nothing works as well as three Miller columns: Genre, Artist, Album.

It seemed to me that he favors TOML, but I agree it'd be interesting to read an article advocating for his preferred format.

I just saw their most recent response, which has ameliorated my concerns. Thanks for bringing my attention to it! Previously it seemed like they might have got unproductively resentful at the backlash, somewhat understandably. All's we

If you insist on being handed the truth, doing no research yourself, what makes you think what is then placed in your hands is the truth?

The good ones squeeze in a few genuinely public policies to ensure their names look decent in the history books. The bad ones simply double down on controlling the history books.

This is literally what switched me back to Chrome on Android. When I want to continue browsing from another device, Chrome is always up to date. With Firefox, they were always at least a few hours out of date, and often up to days. And eith

My partner has IBS, so I'm also frustrated with unidentified food reactions/digestive issues. But I can't help her by ignoring the best tool for discerning reality we have, which remains scientific research. The results on MS
