Marx hasn't been around for a while. With the corporate world sucking so hard on government teats, in the US and Europe in particular, austerity has a more distributed but still intensely negative impact. I strongly recommend Mark Bl

I remember being given the marshmallow test as a kid. It was so blatantly condescending and manipulative that I was utterly disgusted. For one thing, I lived in a household dominated by a raging drunk father who would mercilessly beat anyo

Yikes, 4chan as culture? I expect there is much truth in what you are saying, but I remember quite clearly an incident in 2014 where a fellow fitness enthusiast and bodybuilder chastised me for offering him food with tofu in it because of

There are some great Tofu suppliers in America, but also a labor saving device that allows people to easily experiment with variations themselves: https://www.soymilkmaker.com/ One of the problems is that, like so many thi

Car headlight and taillight assemblies are kind of a special case. In the late 80s and early 90s it became common to use a lot of computer assisted design to make multiply layered constructions with lenses and diffusers and so on built in.

This is disappointing in various ways. The piece starts off with mention that exposure to sunlight is the most recommended way to boost vitamin D levels, but then focuses exclusively on oral supplements. Then the recommendation against popu

This is being experimented with. So far it seems to work best in abandoned wells which provide a controlled space for horizontal movements.

Liberalism led to high taxes on the most wealthy, who can clearly afford that, strong regulations on industry, who need their activities to be limited to what society can tolerate, and pervasive legalization of unions for workers who must l

Seems like these analyses fail to take into account generational issues. Those who grew up in the Great Depression or World War Two had very good reasons to believe in a shared social obligation to manage society for the benefit of the gen

This is irrelevant. Homes are depreciating assets. The only reason that finance got involved is that we are building way to few relative to demand. Remove the extreme market distortion and finance has nothing to push against.

This is completely alien to me. I've had various personal projects over time. They are always managed in terms of goals and available resources and never deadlines. Deadlines can happen, but in general they are a terrible way to man

Documentation of data flow and rigorous testing might be an alternative and superior way to get correct answers, at least in some contexts. Just because a type has been assigned to some data does not mean that is necessarily correct. All

One of the more interesting political splits is within the beer industry which in this analysis has only one point. Beer brewers tend to be extremely left of left while beer distributors tend to be strongly right leaning. What is particula

Having over 30 years of experience in delivering applications this is kind of amusing in how it shows how trends come and go. In the past dynamic typing was hot stuff that enabled great progress. Here we have another big trend. It can be

Interesting that several of the works I have collected that mean the most to me are monoprints. With this form the material for printing is assembled only once and may include items that may be transformed by the printing process. Sounds

This is a side issue, but it seems to me like this general problem is what is making strict typing so popular. If there were tests and documentation in place and parameters were being checked then strict typing wouldn't have much bene

This meta-analysis seems to have the usual flaw: Most diet regimens studied are minor variations of common, standard diets. As a result this shows the result of including fiber in a standard diet. Diets that vary significantly from stand

This could just be a bunch of errors. The subway issue is a good example of this. The initial NYC subway was put in place with cut and cover construction. Because it was so long ago there were minimal obstacles. The Second Avenue subway

Absolute garbage. The Montreal subway has nothing in common with the NYC Second Avenue extension or the SF Central subway.
