Feel like this is complicated by the fact that a lot of the orgs I worked followed Agile and had cards w/ the work divided up in weird ways. A lot of times I was doing shit just b/c the card said so, if I had more autonomy I would

was in europe over the summer I did see a lot of teens doing dumb shit that teens do by the subway and in the streets. maybe they'd go out more if there was stuff to do. let's be real suburbia kind of sucks.

Renewables can't power things like trains, planes or semi trucks. What we need is world where we recognize that everyone owning their own personal automobile is probably a bad idea. We need walkable neighborhoods and public transportat

you have no idea how well protected the domestic auto industry is from foreign vehicles. people will cite Honda and Toyota but the rules were altered in a such a way to bring Toyota/Honda in and put downward pressure on the domestic in

This is silly. We need to start viewing gas as a precious resource and treating it as such which means creating cities that don't take a car to get around in.

Living in sky scrapers sucks and is not enjoyable. Same with living in suburbia. The sweet spot is densely packed urban areas that are built on the human scale.

I'm in an east coast city. I've visited big west coast cities numerous times. I feel our problems are very different. You have policies that support the homeless and people with drug addictions so people facing those challenges fl

I'm in the suburbs but like you an older one and more densely packed. I'm maybe a mile from a major highway that goes to the city center. It's dead straight and major thoroughfare. If they dedicated one line to rail, none of

You're leaving how a key part, at least in America which is racism. Whites ran to the suburbs to escape particular groups and quite frankly still do albeit now it's more in the form of urban sprawl.

worth visiting an old city like Rome. I was shocked by how walkable it was. It was maybe the second night we were there, we causally strolled around after dinner and just happenstance managed to walk by all the major attractions. That'

I feel like we live in a world w/ to many "high level people". At least in the world of software development. We need more people in the weeds. 20 Different high level ideas from high level stakeholders benefits no one. It&#x

I think this is a good argument but also an example why it should probably be technical people defining the product and requirements rather than this made up role we've created of product owners.

I think at the team level most individuals do want to make change and work in the most efficient way possible it's just at big multinational corporations what you can modify about your environment can be extremely limited.

I feel like the value of crypto going up is backed by solid economics. There is only ever going to be so much of it so losing your money to inflation isn't a risk. People die and don't tell anyone their keys, people forget their k

It's weird b/c in most parts of our day to day lives we have no say. We live in a democracy but for the most part none of us can vote on anything meaningful but in this one particular area everyday citizens have a ton of power and

Feel this speaks how to the social classes omnipresent in our world. We want to pretend we live in a classless society but we really don't. If you have to work for a living you're working class. Too many people these days have bec

Here in the US and many other first world countries the population is getting very old. We'll need to bring in younger people who look different to keep the average age down. This obviously has all sorts of side effects. The other prob

10% should beats the current 0% most of them pay. The unfortunate truth is we have a system that allows you to legally bribe politicians called campaign donations. The corporations and the politicians are totally in bed w/ one another

There's a lot of bullshit in this space. There isn't enough lithium in the world to move everyone over to electric. 80% of grid still runs on coal so it's not clean either. I'll also head for heavy duty towing electric i

I started my career on Wordpress. In a lot of ways it was where I learned to program. I'm surprised you stuck w/ it as long as you did, guessing the cash must of been pretty good. To me once you're deep into the internals and

so the logic implication is this implies we don't/didn't need a divine creator to create man right? Like the molecules were capable of it all by themselves?

In a true shit hit the fans situation cash is you what you need to bribe the official to get you on the boat/plane/train out of the disaster area.

This is a good point. I remember about 2005 time frame and probably even after everyone thought the front end was easy and the "real" work was on the server. What a joke.

You should read up on the IPCC. They sugar coat reports to make us feel better.

I mean you could if you rationed access to fossil fuels. Obviously the framework to do that isn't in place today in the US but it probably will be at some point as reserves thin out over time and just letting the market handle it is go

That's a good point. Delete the repo and start over I suppose? W/ git wouldn't it possible to find and restore that info anyway? Guess it becomes what do you care about most at that point.

Did you read the article? We're talking about mass migration, major crop failure and death by the millions and your take away is petty thiefs?
