There is no obviously easy path from giving money to improving mental health given our current legal framework. You can sometimes fix around the edges, but the core constraint, for most people, is not one of resources. If someone is severe

I've never seen a language or framework that is both easy to be quickly productive in, and free of footguns. React is easy to be quickly productive in... thus, it has footguns.

Just people who don't understand how to write performant React, honestly. There are ways of writing React that result in vast numbers of re-renders... it's not a best practice, but it's relatively easy to make happen, especia

The fact is that the rural US has benefitted from the US's very robust freight rail network, almost all of which was either taken via eminent domain or before the land was parceled out. If we tried to rebuild the train network we have

Not really accurate. The problem was the contamination, not the Talc. They have changed the process to remove the asbestos contamination, but have gone a step further in the US, out of risk-aversion, to replace the Talc with cornstarch ent

Yeah, this reminds me of the other article on the frontpage, about Google not understanding why anyone needs 5m files in Drive. Well, maybe you don't. Maybe it's not something that affects you, or 80% of people, 80% of the time

Pool, hot tub, and uses air conditioning in Las Vegas... Look, for better or for worse, Las Vegas is a testament to man's dominance of nature, and that takes a lot of electricity. It's not really about the efficiency.
