I don’t think they are arguing that this can’t happen, but that it is unlikely to kill every single human . I mean climate spans very very long time frames, so certainly if we can’t find a way to hang on by a thread and keep reproducing, i

This feels like a good take. I’ve recently been trying to find more information on caveats of Section 179 of the US tax code, and at almost every turn the consensus is to go to a professional(which is what I should do), but for some nagging

I imagine for landlords this would be like picking up pennies on the street while hundred dollar bills are flying out of your pocket. Real estate isn’t exactly a “creative solutioning” space…it’s extremely cutthroat.

This is ultimately my point, its a slippery slope. Obviously funding some states is worse than others, but no one has the whole picture, so... shrug as well

My point is that nobody is thinking about historical conquests when picking a TLD, most people probably don't even know that some TLDs stem from territories, and after some research, we see that the money isn't even going where we

TLDs can disappear under certain circumstances, so long term there is a small risk of that. Depending on the TLD, it can also be less recognizable or downright fishy to some. .io has become popularized by the tech scene, but without context

Isn’t funding .uk and .us domains just as bad then, if you’re going by the amount of blood that is on a countries hands(regarding this particular piece of history, or all of it)?

Advertising has eaten the world, spit out a nearly incomprehensible version of it, and now those same companies want to charge for the left overs. Nothx.

I find it hard to believe that there are no products out there trying to fill the 'early-Facebook-like social network' niche. People are discovering that a true social network, between actual people in the physical world, is not a

This is like saying police officers shouldn't enforce speed limits because the ticket ends up back in the police department, and you could certainly make a point for a conflict of interest, but there is traceable proof. What actually h

There is also no way for 'whales' to come out of these subs...at least with Instagram you can scale your spend to some pretty high levels...if X is going to nickel and dime its users...its going to need a lot more users.

At this point he should just throw a hail mary and charge every user a mandatory subscription fee, and see who sticks around. Maybe he discovers that as a winning strategy, worst case scenario he loses 40+ billions and goes back to rocket s

This is like pay to win mobile games, which, to be fair, generate an enormous of money. Don't see the same outcome for Twitt...X.

Pitching or fielding? I do think it is interesting that it is localized(in my case) to a certain stroke. So my strategy just becomes serve and volley to avoid hitting the forehand. Other sports may not have the same flexibility haha

Have had similar experience in playing tennis. I am an advanced-intermediate player but every now and then I get into a place where I more or less unlearn my forehand in an instant. This isn't a feeling of "oh I can't make a

I was born in the USSR and grew up through the restructuring following its fall. We weren't well off, and my whole family(including extended) basically lived in a 2br apartment. I don't remember feeling poor or anything, that was

I don't know which 'young people' generation you are talking about but I don't think most of them are actively comparing themselves to previous generations. It is very difficult to accurately compare my quality of life v

99% of the people would double their currency, but probably lose all of their wealth because trust in the currency would be absolutely destroyed. Yay!

Somewhat off topic, but if you filter by the 'Other lines of credit' distributed by 'Percentile of income' there is a MASSIVE spike for the top 10%. Wonder if this is bad data or a result of the loans given out in 2022.

No data to back it up at the moment but I am pretty sure that home ownership has historically been a big wealth builder for the middle class. It historically has allowed people to use leverage on a fairly stable asset, while doubling as a h

Upgrade by Blake Crouch is a fiction book that uses gene altering pesticides as a culprit for a global food shortage that triggers a massive famine(don’t worry, that isn’t really a spoiler). It’s interesting to read fiction and then read he

This is false and misleading: "Commercial pick-up trucks, junk vehicles, and any pick-up truck weighing more than 8,000 pounds are still prohibited from parking on ANY residential and business streets." Quite a way from all pickup

A trolleybus is efficient because people go to a location that the bus services, the bus does not go door to door to every person, that would be absolutely asinine. To make a trolleybus delivery service work, you would need a central locati

I think we got bait and switched. Initially a lot of the services used network effects to reach a peak mass and got dependency lock in(think using FB or Google as login options as an example), and then monetized through "ads or subscri

Public transit in the US takes decades because it already starts at a disadvantage vs European/Asian countries due to public perception. It takes decades because the procurement process is mired in red tape. "The best time to sta

I'm totally onboard with you, not sure if you're re-affirming what I said or interpreted it differently, but in this case the developer literally wants to ban cars.

Absolutely. Anecdote but yesterday I was at a light on an off-ramp from a highway and a guy got out of the car next to me, and my first reaction was that he might have malicious intent(turned out he was just checking the front of his car be

I think the fact that it is NYC might have a more outsized effect than it being walkable. Tokyo felt like a very walkable city, whilst still being so densely populated...in conjunction with its amazing public transport it was a wonderful ex
