"It's no secret that tech companies have not been hiring for sustainability and that sucks." Does it suck? It means that someone got a job where they didn't really have to do that much and got paid anyway. An alternative

Because generalized Internet search encompasses any and all human interests. The vast gulf could easily be explained by bias in what 2 ppl are interested in and search for. For example, if Alice is very interested in Sports News, coding, an

I think they are super easy to make. My tip is to go to a japanese grocery store and buy an onigiri mold for $3. All you do is stuff the rice (and fillings) into the mold and press. Keep the mold in a bowl of water between making balls (lik

Why wouldn't you direct this same sense of vigilante justice toward people who speed excessively and hurt other people? Speeding does happen and it does kill people - https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public&#x2

Well yeah, it'd be extremely myopic to invent technology to solve this intermediary problem of rolling stops, rather than addressing the outcome via technology which we do all the time. In addition to standard car safety features, ther

I’m looking forward to booking one of these with my girlfriend. Just trying to decide location. For those who “don’t get it” - it’s like a cruise that goes over land instead of water. (Though it’s fair if you don’t like cruises either)

Actually I think the real world physical analogy does map quite well and thus isn't misleading. In real life, if you are incognito, you put on a disguise like a wig, glasses, new clothes etc and try to conceal your identity. Incognito

In the US, people tend to look at me weird when I tell them my dog lives outside. Some of them probably think I’m a heartless or uncaring dog owner. When I first adopted him, I tried inside first, and he was unhappy and anxious, and so much

As a dog owner, I agree with you. I KNOW that my dog would never hurt anyone. But I also know that no one else in the world has spent hundreds of hours with my dog, and to them he is a strange and large animal. Inevitably some of these ppl

No I don't, but I get the feeling that you missed an assumption in the middle which is that Apple/iOS is a monopoly. It's clear to me Patreon is not forced into having an iOS app. They do so because they think they can make m

Yeah we could. But just because we do, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing or the smart thing to do. Once upon a time alcohol was voted illegal and even now marijuana is federally illegal. I personally think it’s a shame when the government t
