Surely a man would say that abortion is not a problem at the macro level and only impact 5% of the population. Doesn't impact you so of course you don't care, but it does impact a lot more than 5%. Same for race relations, lots of

You're building a straw man. The reality is that in a suburb far from infrastructure, investors won't want to build a 30 stories building. But they might want to build a 3-4 units building, something 2-3 stories maximum. But this

That’s the problem. You are unwilling to discuss the wages. This predatory capture also existed to ensure a decent wage. Uber did everything they could to hide the true cost of being a driver. Tons of sneaky fees. Gray area for insuring you

They have actively worked at crippling it. Now that it’s crippled they tell you.. oh but surely the government can’t fix it, we need private enterprises to fix it! You walked right into it. What makes you think private business are capable

6 families live on that land instead of 1. It’s a net benefit for society. You’re talking as if families are being screwed by developers. What I see is 5 mores families getting a home. You can’t have a society where everyone owns a single f

I feel people often have pink glasses over the old period of Apple. 90s was tons of Mac product lines competing with each other. No shortage of quality problem on those hardware. A nice operating system but was falling behind in many modern

I think the expectation is that since they bought the rabbit there and the rabbit was happily living there, when they return it, they expect it to still live. They think they are returning the rabbit to its "natural" environment a

Demand is partially driven by cheap gas. Cheap gas is subsidized by all kind of benefits provided to oil manufacturers, US international policy (ie: military), removing negative externality (increased insurance rate due to global warming) e

EV growth of the last few years was nothing compared to the increase size of the average car (more SUV and pickup sales in proportion, compared to standard “cars”). So really the EV market is still insignificant and gaz consumption for the

Alot of people have been predicting that this inflation was driven by supply chain problems and not by printing money. I don't have enough information to give my opinion either way, but if indeed inflation is going back down, this wasn

Yeah I had a Roomba 10 years ago. It was starting to age a bit (still working! but would always get stuck). So I was thinking.. it's been a decade.. time to buy a new model, surely they improved! Nope, nothing is better, absolutely not

By definition, you can't have a coin be stable while at the same time not having a centralized instance that keep it "stable". Those are oxymorons. It's one, or the other. We can't just repeat any buzzword without t

It’s not quite to the level of geopolitic but selling bottled water is entirely unnecessary in majority of the US. It’s extremely bad for the environment, both for the plastic but of course the transport. When it’s often the same damn thing

Doesn’t matter what holds up for you. What matter is the conversion rate. If someone gets 1% conversion from that Popup, then they’ll keep it because 1% is higher than 0%. For sure some websites are more sophisticated and wait for the 2nd v

Then you’re not the target market. It’s just supply and demand. If not enough people want to pay that subscription, they will stop and change model (or shut down). But if this is sustainable enough to pay for their dev, it doesn’t look like
