Not sure. But I’ve been hearing of this being an issue from both progressives, leftists as well as conservatives and rightists. Maybe they’re all misinformed by their bubbles, but there seems to be some smoke…

There has to be some nuance. Companies are known to either rent of sometimes own housing for personnel who travel to other offices. Universities typically own housing as well. So maybe it’s something like it can’t be one of the main busin

That’s not bad but better would be to require a default of chronological order for showing content with an option for “discover” other content but only on demand.

Some of the most annoying offenders are motorbikes who almost see it as an obligation to revv as annoyingly as possible every chance they get on residential neighborhoods. It’s not all of them. Some ride responsibly but my god, some are ex

they could do like germany where most apartment/flat kitchens are bare --the renter needs to bring their own appliances and furnishings. this means fewer appliances and kitchen stuff gets mistreated by the renters since they own them.

It’s going to cost the consumer one way or another. Either taxes, (cities still need to take in taxes, so if they lose taxpayers, their option is to levy more taxes), quality of life (more homeless, less municipal money for maintenance due

Then why is Germany bemoaning and suffering from their Mittelstand jobs going to Eastern Europe and Asia?

Doing rote work is better than no work and living off the government. People in those rote jobs enjoy the camaraderie, the beers after work and putting their kids through school. Something an unemployed person has more difficulty doing. Ev

With A.I./ML and high def aerial and street video + other electronic signals you don’t need ineffective tools like stop and frisk. They had the technology in Iraq to figure out where IEDs were coming from. (TF Odin) They could also cut

I think the reason they replaced the anchor-chain like fence with generic fencing is twofold: one economic, and the other to protect against idiots. When you have king tides, you still have people going down there taking pictures --but it

Could be. It used to be that to get phone service in Germany could take up to a month after putting in the order, that’s when it was state controlled. After the reforms installations were quicker. So to me, there doesn’t seem to be a pana

Isn't there an age-of-tree related curve? Up until XX years they are net producers -afterwards they become sinks.

That sounds similar to what some ex-Soviets relate. The system was bad, but by and large had understandable rules that you could use to your advantage, if you had the right standing. Once that system collapsed, they were left to fend for

Polling places closing early, terrible weather, computers off-line, etc., will of course drive people from voting. Seeing an ICE agent isn't going to deter a citizen from voting any more than deter people taking vacations overseas. I

Polymarkets are a place to put a dollar bet on one’s beliefs and the likelihood that belief will come true.

It seems the poster is of the low probability belief that at some point before Nov 2028 elections will be suspended and we will move to some kind of imperial system instead. You can take them up on polymarket.

I know people who upon getting put into a PIP took a mental health leave as it took them over the PIP time horizon. The mileage you get from this will vary on organization —some won’t want the reputational hit, others won’t care though.

The US is somewhere in the middle, right there with some European countries. It's hard to say what drives people over the edge. Surprisingly Uruguay is high up there but Uganda, Ghana and Colombia are low.

Yes but that was like 40 years ago. I think by now the phraseology should reflect reality after about forty years.

Platters are not made of iron (or even steel) and neither is the surface, so I’m not sure why rust comes into the picture.

I’m not seeing the dichotomy as much as you do. Are they not going to build a “skynet” in China? Second, building skynet doesn’t imply eviscerating youth employment. On the other hand, automation of menial tasks does eviscerate all kinds of

There are things physicists themselves cannot agree on, so there is no "true" interpretation of some things and you can only present your interpretation. So, sure, they deserve criticism for the "all possible paths" brou

Why does a car company need to develop its own typeface? Is it more cost-effective? Is it to have better control? Is it for branding? (Although it does not appear unique/novel) It’s not like it needs to solve something that isn’t addre
