There were supposedly 400,000 people behind Apollo 11. I bet you could make some pretty high quality, well crafted stuff today as well, if you had nearly half a million people devoting their lives to building one thing. Nvidia: 26,00

It might be a low hanging fruit problem, but just look to all the great ideas that took the tireless efforts of tens of thousands of people to bring to life. Few modern marvels are the product of an solitary, idle daydreamer. To connect wit

$25 million also seems likely to have included labor, cooling, and possibly software and support, none of which are saleable capital assets.

Or, he's a savvy guy talking to the people who do still believe it's a gateway drug, and deftly explaining to them why this is good without trying to tell them they are wrong.

They are competing with other entertainment. They are competing with other TV and movies. The only thing they aren’t competing on is the exact show. I think it’s pretty exciting; competing to offer better product can lead to better results

It’s likely strongly subject to Goodheart’s Law, however. In other words, there are probably many things you could do to improve the goal (e.g. figure out how to keep kids from seeing the violence) without improving outcomes for these kids

What is the reason you want to do more? For me, struggling and learning is what I enjoy. Within that framework, it’s not about payout or fame, only the worthy challenge. As I begin to realize this about myself, I have become less worried ab

It’s a new phenomenon that culture is still absorbing, a result of abundance and progress. Old furniture used to be handed down and treasured for generations. Suddenly, not anymore.

Drain water heat recovery seems like the best efficiency boost for water heating. Completely passive, 60% extra heat energy. At least for cold climates. Heat pump water heater might be phenomenal in a Phoenix garage.

Pushing the cost upstream (e.g. as opposed to everyone installing water filters at home) does help with attribution and accountability. My local water authority has significantly more power than I do.

Success with targeted therapy also hopefully paves the way towards the understanding we need for generalized solutions.

FWIW that applies to enterprise where the venture is ever evolving. Once a machine can sort apples visually, it’s good enough, and the job of apple sorting isn’t really changing.

What will happen when people not only compete against each other for work, but also against machines? The structure of capitalism allocates human workers away from things machines are better at, the market value of that product comes down

We've seen again and again that the high end of the computer market can't sustain itself; the mass market outruns it. The result is that the high end works best when leveraging the mass market instead of trying to compete with it.

The point is that under casual review & in isolation, it's not hard to accept as a typo, but under closer review and knowing what we know now, it's almost certainly part of the attack.

I do appreciate how free shipping makes the vendor care more about the cost of shipping. If you’ve ever ordered a tiny part from some shop whose cheapest shipping option is $9.00 you may know what I mean.

A protection racket fills a power or monopoly on violence vacuum. The current government would seem to be filling this vacuum today.

I believe your parent is trying to make a distinction that the handle's history may not be suspect, only recent activity, positing a rubber-hose type compromise.

There's a basic tension - why embezzle, only to not spend the money?

I think the optimal strategy depends partly on your genes. Challenging kids seem to run in families, and it’s probably easier to succeed as a very young parent if your kids are naturally the quiet & obedient sort. It’s not politically c

It's not fundamentally new, this is the underlying reason lobbying is an accepted part of how capitalism interacts with democratic governance. The struggle remains how to decide when that power is being abused in uncompetitive ways.

I don’t think sfh have been foisted on us by stupid or conniving urban planners. It’s more interesting to ask why people don’t want to live in multi family dwellings. For example, if hearing your neighbors is a big part of the problem, woul

Sounds like your parents were overprotective. Why did you have to wait until you were 6 to use a pocket knife? Why couldn’t 6 year old you go to the pool by yourself? Your parents were overly worried with protecting your physical nature. Th

I hadn’t considered the double penalty of lower density housing PLUS smaller average family size. You’re right, the average “kid density” has probably plummeted.

Aside from all the good points made by others, it’s interesting that kids are not innately prepared to face many hazards in the modern world alone. Children can find out that rocks hurt through trial and error throwing pebbles at their frie
