That's not "practice", that's a book. I'm asking what _you_, _specifically_ do to achieve your stated goal of "thinking globally, systemically, and holistically". Did you give up travel and vacations, perh

^ HWR_14 knows what's up. I'm looking to borrow as much as I possibly can at the moment, as should any sane person with a good credit rating. Borrow a dollar, return the equivalent of 10 cents 5 years later.

Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter, the main surveillance tools of our kakistocratic regime, are going to get decimated.

Stagflation will still hammer Tesla pretty bad. Think of what it'd do to their sales if Model S was $200K instead of $70K. We're headed in that direction. And before you say "it can't happen here", I've seen it

As an immigrant and a parent myself, I think you meant to say "children of illegal aliens". US _legal_ immigration is means/skill based and requires a paying job, so kids of immigrants mostly are fine economically. Illegal mi

It'll be pretty spectacular when stagflation and recession finally hits in earnest. They are not immune, even though they, as a manufacturer of luxury goods, will fare better than most.

I believe it's higher than Finland on average, too, as well as in absolute terms in each state. NYC spends even more, for even worse education. You can easily the statistics, and once you do, you'll see that throwing even more mon

Why wouldn't they be? It's not like lithium goes bad or leaks out or anything.

In my state we're already paying more than Finland per pupil: $13K/yr, with nowhere near the results. It's not the money that's causing this. It's that there are too much "administrative" and "service

Yes, it has the bangs, and it's about on par with Google on most searches. There's no downside to trying it. Try it yourself.

Brave is already comparable in quality to Google IMO, to the point where I maybe go to Google once every couple of weeks, if that. Superior, if you're searching for anything at all "controversial" that Google bans or demotes.

But it is. Here's how things typically go: person in front of the Congress has a certain political affiliation, perceived or official. So one party (their own) runs down the clock asking them ultra-softball questions they can easily an

I'd be more surprised if they didn't lie, frankly. Lying during congressional testimonies and confirmations is a time honored tradition that applies in nearly every case. I can name plenty of cases where people either lied outrigh

Try to film a "Borat" style comedy that goes over the leftist tropes, rather than right-wing/rust belt ones, and you will quickly discover that there exist certain types of comedy that aren't conducive to one's succ

IIRC it's not "recycling" at all - they'd just bury the plastic in China instead of here. Much like we've "reduced emissions" by moving all industrial production to China which is almost completely un-regu

And then people turn around and accuse Google of ADD. This is like sixth or seventh half baked app framework MS has released in 20 years, with the last usable one being Windows Forms (which was ripped off directly from Borland VCL). I pity

No, I'm not offended by that. I'm just disappointed that we kowtow to moralist busybodies with the IQ of a house plant, and the sense of humor of a door knob, and this is somehow deemed not just socially acceptable, but "virt

There are two black dudes speaking straight Ebonics, and the whitest woman in the world translating for them. Zucker (who is Jewish) would immediately be excommunicated and branded a Hitler for filming this in 2021. One of the funniest scen

It's not just that. It's also that I don't really trust anything centralized anymore, and internet speeds are such that homegrown solutions are becoming more and more attractive. Another benefit is that I'll also be able

Sounds to me like prices will pretty much inevitably go up after they're public, and I'll finally have the motivation to set up my own remote backup by exchanging hard drives with a friend of mine on the other end of the country.

The only alternative search that doesn't suck currently is Brave - they're the only US-based search engine that has its own index. Everybody else is using Google or Bing which exposes you to algorithmic manipulation and censorship

Not just pointless: dumb. It doesn't support Skylake or first-gen Threadripper, which happen to power almost all of my machines but one, which uses third-gen Threadripper and will never see anything other than Linux.
