We've been creating new "towns" in the form of subdivisions and planned communities for the better part of a century. They are fine for a generation or two, but the astronomical costs of maintaining their government subsidize

The baby bullets haven’t stopped at Sunnyvale or Lawrence in at least the last 5 years, so best you can do is 1-1:10hr on train. But if you are willing to bike to Mountain View you can trade that time for exercise.

Yea, it sucks for the kids whose parents do not care at all, but this has been the status quo for a long time with things like lack of involvement with education and just putting the kid in front of the TV. Obviously neither extreme is bene

I can’t help but feel bad for the kids in this situation. I’m sure while they are young it could be fun to play spy, but at some point the extreme aversion to data collection just becomes a new flavor of paranoid helicopter parenting. The a

People enter homelessness and drug use from both directions. Many homeless are not addicts and more affordable housing will help get those off the street and keep more people at the margin in more stable housing situations. This will in tur

I think the problem comparing to the last turn of the century is the cost of real innovation is much higher (ignoring that most “hobbyists” in that time period were quite affluent). A key difference would be that many foundational technolog

Most professional cad software is behind a subscription or license server, so I’m not sure what the alternative would be.

I could see this being used for a 5 axis fdm printer to replace a traditional 2 axis gimbal. I’m not sure where the value would be except for highly specialized applications where you are ok with fdm, but want to avoid traditional layer bui

Gaming (on PC) is also full of people who care about Linux and escaping windows, so aside from Valve trying to get out from under Microsoft’s thumb, they have a dedicated user base to make their efforts worth it. The people and companies us

Right, but water is the input for… pretty much everything we consume and also the output, so all that should matter is there is a treatment step somewhere in the cycle.

I mean, this is more or less how I felt reading the first quarter to half of The Peripheral. Each chapter (scene) seemed disconnected and out of context, even once I understood the two time periods.

I think by virtue of of being a public figure, Elon can't have the same expectations of privacy as regular people enjoy by way of relative anonymity. No one really balks at the Pelosi's home being easily obtainable information.

I’m sure the CSAM detection disaster gives Apple some leeway/plausible deniability with the governments who would have liked them to scan for illegal data being uploaded to iCloud before encryption, since they can say “well we tried!”

I’m not familiar with the medical evidence, but… why would exercise instigate a cardiac event when anxious? Perhaps if having a panic attack it would be unwise, but I feel like exercise can serve as a distraction or outlet to anxiety and be

I don’t think free speech/ assaults is a relationship in isolation. The US particularly seems to have issues with violence being a preferred method of conflict resolution, all else being equal.

I’m not sure I’m getting the full gist of your questions, but to one point: Yes I think people generally avert their gaze to the people and the issues, perhaps because of shame or sheer disinterest. I personally want to financially contribu

We talk about all this junk polluting orbit, but I can’t imagine it is dense enough to to efficiently fish for and return to earth.

But if you have an iPhone 12 or 13 you don’t need a 14 to capture all those moments. The cameras don’t differ that much and the os archiving and viewing features are the same.

I think they are responding to the assertion that the employer is obligated to keep the employee just because the employee might have absolutely nowhere else to go. Especially in the competitive tech space neither you nor your employer ar

From the street photography articles I've read; if you can see it from a public space then its fair game, which I think is reasonable. But in your scenario the camera is on your private home, so most people would expect reasonable priv

Call me confused, but if these satellites are not geostationary, why are the both the inland coverage and coastal coverage mostly limited to political boundaries? Shouldn't coverage be available anywhere there are satellites overhead?

However, a if the minimum wage is increased to $9, the collective spending power of the minimum wage cohort may increase enough to increase the per worker revenue to $9 or more. Likewise, if the employer cohort doesn’t believe this to be th

Isn’t this true on a private repo, or any non GitHub repo, solo or not? It’s been this way for a long time; if you cared about showcasing your contributions you would work on public projects, blog, or make a bunch of noise in some other way
