   When will corporations get scared? When the insurance dries up? New Zealand can't hold all the world's millionaires and billionaires. If there's a rush, then that money won't matter much.

   This is a management problem. Lack of long-term planning. People knew COBOL was "feature complete" DECADES ago. "If it ain't broke - don't fix it." does not mean "don't maintain the things you own -

   WTF!? Everyone needs to seriously look at DDD again. You want a product? - Small team composed of a few developers, one or two SMEs, one or two DEVOPS. - SMEs teach the devs the domain language. Explain requirements in gherkin language or

   Give a team a budget - if you achieve your goals and come in under budget you get half the under-spend as a bonus. Don't let the bean counters force budgets - incentivize them.

   I don't get leaf blowers really. I'd love to have some sort of paper bag and connector to my lawn mower. I have my bag and just getting it into the brown bag is a little bit of a pain. But man - you just do it once and you don&

    M&A is noncompetitive and should either be prohibited or heavily taxed. Create a subsidiary? Fine... Buy up all the tadpoles so you don't have to deal with frogs? Noncompetitive...

    How can we have a housing shortage and a bubble at the same time? The power elite has found out they don't have to build houses and cars in order to make money - just constrain the supply and raise prices. Easy peasy. Remember - the c

    I would need to talk to the writer to make sure we're talking about the same thing. DevOps isn't "that guy does everything". DevOps and Dev ARE different. Dev's product is what we sell to customers. DevOps produc

    If you need an electric truck - it shouldn't be as big as an F-150 - it should be more the size of a hilux. There needs to be two kinds of electric vehicles - 250 mile rangers and 150 mile rangers - and the 150 mile rangers need to use

    We need to reduce draw down of our limited fossil fuel assets. Once their gone - they're gone. If we hit peak oil right now - we are absolutely fucked. I have a feeling like we're hitting it right now - given that car prices and

    I am definitely getting more books from the library now. I'm sorry but everything sucks now. There's no point anymore in trying to find good content. They've done this on purpose - and you can't fight it.

    I think its necessary to point out that one of the authors is Mary Weiler and Steve Hertzler who work for Abbott - who makes Ensure products and Pediasure products which supplement protein for the old and the young.

    The best way to sequester carbon is to leave it in the god damn ground. Please go google climate town talking about clean coal. Carbon capture is a scam.

    American civilization is designed to make money - if it can make more money with you sick and depressed vs happy - you know what they will do. Now that e-bikes will flatten many hilly towns - we can all get outside a bit more. Towns need to

    My take on US democracy is that the level of representation needs to get back to the levels seen in the 18th century. 35000 people per representative. That would mean we would need a larger capitol building - but at least it would be harde

    Freeze more meat and veg. Puree or dehydrate the ugly stuff. Educate people on how to not overbuy and how to fucking cook. You can't eliminate food waste - but many well off Americans have no clue about how to properly feed themselve

    I think there's some pretty good podcasts about this. Essentially - this should be a fight between franchisees and McD's. It's also a bad look for McD - yes let's get a lot of bad PR about how we screw over franchisees.
