You make good points and I agree with all of them!

I'm not sure why you think I was defining 'money is value','value is money' or some other absolute truth. I did not say such a thing. Money does represent value of some kind, right? Whether that's time, labor,

I am not the parent and I don't speak for the parent, but I think I share some of the same sentiment. I'm not confused about the categorical parts of biology. I don't understand it all, but that's OK, I don't need t

Money represents value. It's the lowest common denominator when talking about whether or not an idea is worth doing. It's hard to quantify altruism. e.g. An idea to plant a garden with entirely toxic plants is just as valid, but n

If you think emojis are meaningless, you're missing something. Emojis are not substitutions for words.

What makes you think this is about anonymity? I would guess it's more about the author's identity and being represented in technological evolutions since we absolutely have the technology these days.

When it comes to acting on climate change, we really need to stop thinking about 'money'.

Look into setting up your phone in supervised mode. I think you can do it using any Mac. Essentially you can make yourself an 'admin' of your phone that can strip away a lot of functionality. Like you can dictate what apps are ins

I think you are 100% correct. Before I consider a train ride from coast to coast I need to see my large metropolis area implement local/regional lines that are good and useful. Optimize for my 80% use case, not my 20% use case!

I guess if you personally don't like lots of things about a language, that's fine, but to call it objectively 'bad' is missing the boat. Lots of money has been made with python and continues to be made. So... shrug . Th

I am very much a self-sufficient, independent, think-for-yourself kind of person that scowls at stories like this Peloton one (and the stove, and the boiler) where I tend to think "don't touch the stove". Your comment here is

> But since the US refuses to address any of the issues, it's stuck trying to fix the problem without being able to fix the problem. That's a bit unfair I think. We have a lot of things to improve, but we absolutely are trying

This seems to be a great example of 'manufactured rage'. - arbitrarily valued art with a high price tag - public display with no active guard - provided paint and supplies - the graffiti is indistinguishable from the art, to me. M

One of the challenges you will face will be being good enough to be able to work independently and without much oversight, while staying out of the leadership/management tracks. You will have to learn to walk the line of being very rel

Can you explain exactly how capitalism is at fault here, and contrast it with other economic systems which you think would have had a different result?

Not necessarily - think Waze GPS. That was pretty unique and innovative. Traffic data + crowd sourced real-time inputs let Waze uniquely route your path. Imagine a Tesla cuts your average commute from 30 to 10 minutes, while you AFK and enj

I think 'discoverable' is one of the big Apple tenants of design, or it used to be (but I am not a designer).

What is happening to EVs now will not stay constrained to the vehicle itself. We're seeing innovations in terms of integrations - with CarPlay/AndroidAuto, Phone-as-key, wifi APs, surveillance, etc. All of these things are new and
