It's not that older American cars are more reliable, but that they have enough charm for people to maintain them and a healthy aftermarket to support them. '80s and '90s American cars, on the other hand, were with a few excep

On a similar note, I've always wondered why when MP3 players started to become popular in the late 90s and early 2000s but cars were still stuck in the tape/CD stage, no car offered a stripped down entertainment system with just s

I have similar preferences with kitchen appliances. I cook a lot, so I expect a lot out of my stove, but I hardly bake, so I don't care about having a fancy/enormous oven. In fact, I'd rather not have and oven, only a cooktop

Any diesel engine that has SCR and isn't miserly on the urea should be good to go. It's the ones that cheap out and rely excessively on EGR that you should watch out for.

What if your company decided to sacrifice features for maintainability and kept the electronics in the product to a minimum? There might be a strong market for something that does only 1-2 things but can be maintained indefinitely with simp

I just wish the Instant Pot (and really, all electric pressure cookers) had a fast-response PID controller so that it could keep 15 psi like a stovetop pressure cooker instead of maxing at 15 psi and averaging 10 psi.

The rich will be moving in anyway, unless you specifically restrict purchases, and even then, they will hire lawyers to get around them. If I'm a wealthy person looking to move to SF but there are no luxury condos to buy, am I just goi

And why should we discount an opinion just because the source is from outside the country? Internal biases are every bit as severe as outside biases.

Nation-states, at least large ones such as Japan and the United States, might not be the best level to apply a "diversity without, uniformity within" policy though. It probably makes more sense to control mixing at the city or cou

In my experience it's a generational thing. I'm 29, and whenever I'm with people around my age sometimes the TV will be on, but only if we're actually watching or playing something. Otherwise the TV is off. Whenever I&#x

My problem with Ikea isn't the design--their products are pretty good in that regard. My problem is with their awful construction quality. Particleboard does not belong in furniture. Fiberboard and plywood sure, oriented strand board m

The 1960s were pretty close to the nadir in quality for residential construction in North America. Most of the old growth forests were already gone by that point, and builders had yet to learn how to build durable structures with younger an

The solution then is to heavily incentivize the middle and lower classes to acquire capital other than owner-occupied housing.

I'm okay with hotel and taxi regulations...as long as they deal strictly with quality and not quantity. Unfortunately, in too many locations there is a hard cap on the number of taxis, which leads to rent-seeking, low quality of servic
