Fix the patent problem. Leave the r&d right off alone.

Is there more context to this question? I couldn't read the article because of the pay wall. But in isolation, this is a dumb question. All decent parents want their child to live as long as possible and be as healthy as possible. Is t

I saw this movie as a kid when it came out on vhs. it blew me away! I loved the blind guy. He was amazing. That part where he listens to the sounds on the road to determine where they took Robert Redford. You're right, it made blind p

Fluoride is not "in fact toxic". A substance becomes toxic in high amounts. Vitamin D becomes toxic in high amounts. The level of fluoride in drinking water is well below the toxic level.

The right wing of the US is not driven by white supremacy. It's driven by a belief in a variety of mostly false grievances, about immigration, the economy, the wealth gap, etc. Those bogus beliefs are held by white and non white people

How can these happiness scores be meaningful? It's all just surveys, and self reporting. It's subjective and sensitive to cultural differences.

> Buying a second house... I hear this so the time from people who have never owned a home. It's partly true, but not as good if a deal as you think. True that you don't have to pay capital gains taxes when you sell, but that&#

people have been saying the American dream is dead my entire life. I'm tired of hearing it. I'm also tired of people saying the American dream is about becoming a billionaire. It's not. It never has been. It's always bee

No poem had ever made me feel the crunch of snow under my boots or see the flakes floating down like this poem. It's visceral.

The conclusion of this data presentation is that so of these people are our collective responsibility, and I just wasn't convinced. I wish they had shown percentages with the visualization. They choose not to. I was underwhelmed by som

"...due to the climaxing rampant corruption in the US..." What? "...constraints of corrupt capitalism" caused websites to be boated?

Be careful because there are two many out of pocket amounts. One for in network and one for our of network. Most ACA plans that I can get in my state do not have an out of network max. That's a huge risk because most hospitals have out

That "tax cuts for the rich" line buds me so much. Republicans do not simply cut taxes for the rich. I've looked at income tax tables going back to the mid 70's. It's clear that Republicans cut taxes for all, not ju

Thank you! I was just watching Oppenheimer yesterday, and cringed at the part where he points out that Alfred Nobel invited dynamite as a reason he might get the award for the A bomb. It's a silly idea. As you put it, it's a quirk

Isn't this rejected by the study. If poor people have less to lose, then why doesn't the data show that increasing their wealth reduces their crime rate? If they are awarded more money, then they have more to lose, yet their rate

I've been using swipe on Android for almost a decade and it still features me. Sometimes it works well. Other times it mangles almost every word in a sentence. I've sent thousands of embarrassing messages over the years, but I can

it was obviously marketing material, but if this tweet is right, then it was just blatant false advertising.

Now if someone were to make one of those pizza ordering LLM agents do the calling for them... I suppose that would be like spamming the carriers. Not sure that's better, but it might make them act.

I really like some aspects of this, but I don't understand the incentives. If I own a home, I want to know everything about it. However, if I'm selling a home, I don't want the buyers to know everything about it. I also don&#

My two cents: if you're using YouTube do much that this bothers you, then just buy premium. It's well worth it in my opinion. You also get the music service. I use it instead of Spotify. I think you also get a few free movies too.

That sounds like something that's easily fixable with battery saving options. Basically, when in battery, don't do that. That would be a good default.

Yes, memory. 4$ droplets have only 512mb. that's barely enough to run bundle install for one application. 6$ droplets give you 1GB and that's plenty for one app,

I'm not sure when a company begins to not be a start up, but by the time they have a wave of news claiming their product kills teenagers, or they're engaging in antitrust, or they're effectively using space labor, that's

This seems like a very hostile and unreasonable take. People in developing countries have far greater need for access to financial services, banking and loans. rich countries have that already because they have stable governments. Poor coun

I went through a similar arch of sentiment since discovering crypto in about 2014. the field really is full of scams, but I think that's being cleared out. Bitcoin and Ethereum are emerging from that as legitimate projects. Still gover

I started a blog this summer thinking I would use it to chronicle my exploration of all things AI. I've only posted once. I think the hard thing is just staying disciplined enough to post regularly.

I think that makes sense. so many experienced employees have been laid off that companies don't need to hire newbies any more. Six years I started working for a company that hired 3 senior devs and boatloads of bootcamp grads. for a ne

I noticed the "make a website in X minutes" video phenomenon too. I wrote a blog post about it where I examine about 10 of these videos and discuss how serious they are. You can see it here. https://joehuntblog.com&#x2F

It might be an American thing, but I'm fine with that. Keeping it professional means having a professional attitude - smiling and being courteous. At least it does in America.
