Having crossed oceans on autopilot, I’ve had three very, very near misses - so even in an environment which is virtually an uninhabited desert in comparison to a road, the risk in not maintaining appropriate and proactive watch is real.

What are you even talking about, plenty of people have kids at that age… I thought the post was going to be about being 60 or something. Stop whining and go do something about it if it means that much to you.

Twitter, something so “valuable” which offers virtually nothing of value to humanity. If twitter was turned off there would be some whinging for a week on some other platform and then it would be forgotten…

Isn’t this what raising rates is? It’s likely more psychological than anything.

What/who is Dorsey referring to when he says "Back when we had the activist come in" ? It's cute Musk thinks decentralised Twitter is a 'Super interesting idea' - come on, really? It's like two people disc

I want to move to Capture One... Is it a nightmare from Lightroom? Is there any migration automation?

Yep, and how so many publishers want your own platform stats. I know people with large insta followings getting book deals purely because they can market their own books and cost publishers next to nothing, with an almost guaranteed profit.

Actually they retain store data for years. I shut my store down and didn’t pay for a year or two, as I had too much other work on. I later re-opened my account and voila my entire store and data appeared. I was rather grateful.

Encourages people to make long rambling pages which don’t get to the point? Ever seen YouTube, it’s exactly the same. 10-11+ min videos saying almost nothing because it’s the most lucrative length. The internet of today is just everyone gam

Look at how the graphs accelerate. 0.8c? At the rate things are going it will be considerably more, and fast.

Does it even matter anymore? Someone always trying to play devils advocate - the science is clear. The anecdotes are clear. We all know what’s happening. We are warming up and it’s our fault. It’s really simple.

Ambitious and ‘successful’ people (success as seen by the majority of the west - wealth, power etc) seem to almost always be driven by some kind of disorder or emotional imbalance. Hence the chaos of the world - a reflection of its powerful

The social needs argument is always made by those who went to traditional schools. Always. It's a kind of 'mesearch' argument.

One of my greatest memories of science class as a kid, was making saltpeter from scratch with a particularly creative teacher. First, we built a latrine and the class pee’d on straw and lime for a couple of months. Then, we boiled the straw

The details are neither here nor there. It was possible to ween off tech because the cost of living was significantly less than city living. It's not so much rent/food, it's all the ancillary costs of city living that add up.

Moved to rural Australia 7 years ago, near the ocean on 1 hectare. Internet via p2p wireless. Recently purchased 6 hectares with better sun orientation to take things more seriously. Would never, ever go back to my previous city life. Weene

None of these observations seem impossible for someone who is able to maintain low stress levels, think rationally and understand the overall general mechanics of how planes fly and what is important - altitude, speed, etc.

Wrong. You have to start somewhere and usually that will mean months or likely years working as a hobby or making next to nothing. You can't just setup shop and expect people to pay $50 an hour - bringing up the plumber as an example a

You are multiplying the hourly rate as if it were a fixed salary, while also forgetting about taxes etc. I don't know a single craftsman that works 8-9 hours a day, 5-6 days a week on "chargeable hours" - most craftsman can r

Also, another factor in pricing is ‘brand power’ or in this case ‘artisan power’ - pricing based on materials and time alone is no different than being a tradesmen. In the luxury goods sector much of the price is based on brand power and ar

The article is a bit thin on two difficult and important factors for makers: How do you decide what your hourly rate is, when it is also unlikely you are making something so unique no one else makes something similar - ie. how do you create
