Having worked in the custom manufacturing machinery business a long time I would guess that they ironically cheaped out but purchasing all their equipment overseas. There are extremely knowledgeable machine builders in the USA and Canada (

Search for any popular title on Amazon and down the list you will always find "imposter books", with similar titles, author names and cover designs. Sometimes they blatantly use the authors copyrights, but usually they are just d

Great… Except Steel, Concrete, Plastics, and Ammonia production all require fossil fuels and we do not have any alternative. We also do not have a viable alternative for air travel, or large scale shipping. While I think it is a worthwhil

Almost every large manufacturing facility has vehicles for their maintenance staff. Sometimes they use golf carts. Sometimes they use tricycles. An automotive assembly plant can easily be 10 million square feet.

As a Canadian I have only know completely socialized healthcare. One of our largest problems right now is that our system is failing and can’t keep up. The solutions being rolled out by the provinces to fix the huge backlog of people waitin

I’m a Canadian, and I would never want to give up our single payer system. That being said, Canada has a huge health care problem right now. Frequently they need to close emergency services in major (& minor) cities at night due to staf

I agree 100%. People making content to scratch their own itch have moved on to TikTok or Instagram. They're the "cool" platforms to be on now, and the production requirements are way less.

I agree. I’m the admin for a couple moderately sized FB groups (roughly 250k users each). The amount of content that is attempted to be posted by troll farms and bots is staggering. We originally had less moderation, and once the troll farm

Marie Kondo’s systems work great for a small segment of the population, but not for everyone else. For most it is more aspirational, than attainable. For everyone else I’d recommend checking out Clutterbug: http://clutterbug.com

As someone who is more interested in economics than software, I believe you are 100% right. Once companies figure out how to have employees work remotely, there won’t be as many high priced SV developer jobs. Companies just might decide t
