I think the most important point that the author makes is not whether property and the earth are common goods or not, it's simply that there's enough food for everyone . There's enough food to keep everyone well fed. There&#

My employer has something more akin to "Minimum time off". My manager will be in trouble if I don't take at least 3 weeks off per year. This seems to work extremely well.

It's the natural process in a capitalistic system. First, you build something that everyone loves and build up a huge stockpile of consumer trust. You use that consumer trust to gain market share, and eventually a lot of market power

Three things that I feel are true about git's model: 1- the model is not intuitive to beginners. There's a really tough learning curve. 2- the model is powerful but leads to a few specific workflow. If you don't have the same

They have plans. Now that they've locked Google and Facebook out of all that app tracking data, they can make a killing off it.

I had to pick between the Tesla Model Y and the Ioniq 5, and the user experience of having real physical controls was a major factor in why I decided against the Model Y. It's a fun car, but it felt like I wasn't able to do anythi

I've been using the "Omega Paw" box for years. You don't scoop. You just roll it upside down (one side is rounded for this) and when you right it, everything solid is in a long cup, which gets dumped into a garbage bag.

It isn't just as simple as 'premium rate numbers'. Some of the criminals behind these attacks will have access to the phone network. They'll pick an expensive route, like a range of phone numbers in Georgia (the country)

Timing of engine burns matters once you're in orbit, but vanilla KSP had tools to help you plan the basic ones. During launch, the only real timing or skill involved was knowing when to start turning east (around 10km, imho), and knowi

The key lesson you need to remember about orbit (in KSP or real life) is that orbit is sideways speed, not up distance or up speed. Going up, you will come back down. Go sideways fast enough, you'll come down but keep missing the

I wonder if we can turn this around and somehow scam these people of their crypto? "This is an excellent idea and I would be happy to get started on it. Please send me X BTC to this address as a downpayment."

I'm gonna to be blunt: after reading more reviews, I picked a very poor car to use as my example of a bad PHEV. Prius prime actually sounds like a pretty solid vehicle. The general complaint that I hear about other PHEVs is that car ma

You're not wrong. I agree with you. I just see that as a better option than continuing to burn fuel in trucks that don't need it 360 days per year.

Plugin hybrids have the worst of both options as well as the best. They have to carry with them an entire gas engine, plus large electric motors, plus a huge battery. That's a lot of mass. This makes them inefficient as gas vehicles, a

Why are they using garbage trucks to plow snow? Looks, I get that I'm biased being in Canada, but do they understand that you can buy dedicated vehicles for plowing snow ? They're called... snowplows. They're pretty fantasti

I'm annoyed by the use of quotations around the word language in the title. This isn't "language", it's language. The use of quotations on the word delegitimizes what is being developed here, likely (in my opinion)

I completely agree with this. I loathed Shakespeare in school. Now I try to get a visit every year to the Stratford Festival (in Stratford, Canada) to see at least one or two Shakespearean plays. I also remember reading 1984 on my own time

And here we see why crypto cannot replace the real money system for mainstream consumers. Real people reuse passwords. They forget passwords. They accidentally get a virus on their computer. They get tricked by fraudsters. Crypto's mai

Well, linguistically speaking, adding the suffix "-less" to a word implies "without", in English. You can be penniless, having not one penny. You can be homeless- not just fewer homes but by golly none at all. You could
