“ that dystopian hellhole where the only positive quality of life is the weather.” Eesh that’s laying in on thick. SF is clearly not your cup of tea but no need for this type of hyperbole. I happen to enjoy the Bay Area, and S.F. in particu

There’s a number huge flaws in all that logic. Comparing Palo Alto circa 1960 to Palo Alto circa 2020 is frankly bizarre. But if we’re using that logic why stop at 1960? Coulda had that land for almost nothing in 1700, so there was infinite

Those graphs all show a giant anomaly. Cite pretty much any other year than the giant anomaly? I don’t understand what the point was to linking those graphs, they self evidently answer the question. Like the graphs all clearly show the gian

Objection! It’s true investing in the airline industry has been a good way to lose money for a long time. But citing early post pandemic years to make that point feels misleading. It’s like saying someone drives badly and instead of pointin

The blueish white leds that has become default because of a slightly more efficient light output is also worse for glare, eye adjusting, and light pollution. Warmer tone leds are just a small bit less efficient and slightly less inexpensive

Cans are lined with plastic. Canned water is a plastic membrane holding water with aluminum on the outside for structural integrity. Same with boxed water but cardboard replaces the aluminum.

It’s not like health. Driving by and large is wholly controllable and should be rated on wholly controllable variables. Not BS stuff like are you married? no? then higher rates for you.

Which sounds more fair to use in rating insurance: A. Their credit related data B. Their age C. Their marital status D. Actual data on how they drive I feel like D, actual data on how they drive is the most fair. I think there needs to be m

Thanks for the daily dose of intolerance motivated by “religion”. The leader point is also comic considering how well it’s been going with the current boomer leaders.

To be clear, I’m not just talking about temu. As you say, it’s a problem with fast fashion and many retailers. It’s a race to the bottom issue. But it’s not a binary choice between “luxury” logos and sketchy random quality junk on temu and

I’m not surprised most Americans or really any people use it. Most people stop thinking after they see a price. Quality and supply chain implications are ignored with willfulness.

“Reduce blood levels and see if functions return” so like reduce smoking to see if lung cancer go into remission? Why the assumption health effects are reversible?

I get a similar impression but to contextualize, in terms of statistical programming what you’re saying is even more so true of what came before R, but a thousand fold worse. In that context R is fantastic. For example SAS makes R look beau

If Toyota had released an EV 11 years ago like bmw and kept iterating on it then today they’d have several models with very competitive costs, likely significantly cheaper than the model 3 but with far better build quality. Are they success

Mown, manicured lawns are not much better than concrete. As long as they put something more sensible in, maintenance can be minimal. And fortunately ornamental lawns are starting to be heavily frowned on in the arid west. Not only that, gre
