Absolutely nothing I've seen anywhere justifies the idea that access to food is the problem. In most cultures, you don't need cooking classes because the food is ingrained into their culture, and recipes are passed down. America

Looking at your source, it seems as though food deserts exist almost exclusively when you're very far from civilization. In which case you can just grow the food.

Not to mention I’m pretty sure their only physical location you can walk into is in Seattle? Maybe SF?

We still haven’t figured out what intelligence even is. Depending on what you care about, the second-smartest animal in the world varies wildly.

I’m glad that you’ve got all the mental facilities necessary to pick this out in 3 seconds, but unless you think you’re of below-average intelligence, you’ll be better prepared to spot that than most.

All billionaires still in China (and some much who've left) exist only at the pleasure of Xi. I don't think Jeff or Mark or Warren want to worry about being disappeared. I think you're probably right here.

I've not seen anything saying all kids are lacking in important skills these days, but rather they all seem (to me) to imply that we're on the way to an even more-stratified society. Smart kids will be just as educated as smart

Avoiding an early death is a lifelong commitment to health. Knowing what the greatest dangers are helps direct your actions in support of that.

They used to have i.reddit.com, and spez promised to never reduce the mobile experience, but we can see how well that turned out. I miss i.reddit so bad. Blazing fast, no new tech, exactly what I needed.

This is the right question to ask. You can reason your way around things, but occam's razor reigns supreme. Injured people can still do lots of work, as our most important tools were our brains, not our bodies. It's not hard to wa

It’s quite literally the perfect example of symbolic action.

I assume it's mostly symbolic and/or serving some greater legal purpose.

Plasma TVs. They’re nearly irrelevant now because of OLED technology, but they were actually fantastic tech. They had a bad reputation because the early models were hot, heavy, power hungry, and suffered from burn-in. Still, even in the ear

I am just learning via this comment they’re killing chromecast. My disappointment is immeasurable. I have 3, and use them daily. This might be the push to get me to install network wide Adblock. I should’ve realized when that recent update

So often, I see comments that seem to make sense only in a vacuum. If the US disappeared from the scene tomorrow, how do you think the geopolitical landscape might change? The competition between the US and China is pertinent to everyone.

They do need a lot less lithium, but we have like 300M cars in the US and only 4M EVs, so unless it's using, like, an ounce of lithium, you'll still have massive sourcing problems. It's also not straightforward (in the US at

Sheesh. Surely you could build that device for like $15, though I guess all the money would go into the speaker quality. Maybe it sounds amazing.

I've never been super into music listening, though I do love singing. I'm curious what you think is important about this difference in approach. The idea doesn't come naturally to me - probably for the same reason intention

I've always assumed that in situations like this, a traceroute is better. You can get more information simply by reaching the next stage in the trace, even if you're given zero information beyond "I'm now at the next ser

Similarly, you should not pretend this strategy you've posted above is some optimal engineering formula you've reduced in an economic journal. There are many roadblocks to consider before mandating all vehicles go electric, not le

I don't smoke cigarettes or pipes, but at least with cigars, it's very easy to get into. You're tasting the smoke in this case, not inhaling it. You'll still get something of a buzz, since there are looooots of entry p

Computers have been more in the realm of the younger generations for a long time now, and young people can handle bad posture and other things more easily than the elderly can. I mean we're waiting on them to reach the age where their

It's... obviously better to just trust the roads are good to go, but you can never trust that in enemy territory. Even if the bridge is "sufficiently strong", you don't know if it was booby-trapped by the enemy.

You may have responded before seeing the rest of my comment edit - there are many methods for crossing some bridged area. Either way, we can always just... scout a route ahead of time which doesn't take us straight to a dead-end. We pr

Upper back and neck pain for me. Went to a Phys. Therapist and got a set of exercises. It was largely muscle weakness from bad posture - something many, many people will likely suffer in the coming years thanks to staring at screens on hand
