I don't get it either. Cities were dying for decades until people with money decided to move back into them and then they began to thrive. In fact, the actual data shows that as a city becomes more expensive it becomes more desirable a

Could it ever actually be competitive? Meat isn’t just the cell structure of a protein. It’s the connective tissues and fats and other parts. It’s also the land and the feed and so much more. And the cut matters. How was the muscle used to

Legendary game for its time. Because computers weren’t common at home by us, the word of this game would get around and you’d be rather grateful when you had an opportunity to play it. It was novel for the time.

You can do things with it that you can't do otherwise. For instance, you can create extremely large spans that weren't otherwise possible in wood framed construction. This creates really cool opportunities when designing the inter

I had an addition done where they had to bolt LVL and steel plate together for a rather large span with cantilever. That bit of support isn't ever moving.

It would be up to the insurer and how their models reflect and manage risk. The point being, individual insurers would be able to better price insurance based on discrete customer behavior.

Sure they are. Speed is easy to detect for instance. Someone driving 50mpg in a 25mph school zone should have massive increases to their insurance as they present huge risk.

There's a lot of jerk drivers who go way too fast and drive very dangerously. They should have to pay significantly more for it. For people that drive correctly, they should be charged less as well. I don't see why this is an issu

Yeah, now that you mention it I haven't seen it around the last few years. I remember it was fairly commonly on the store shelf years ago. Was fine but was expensive compared to beef and wasn't too different in many cases so I ver

That and how the IRS changed the rules for tax purposes. You can't write an engineers salary off in the same year it was paid but rather over 4 years now.

In general places are hiring but so many people were put into the market at the same time causing a lot of competition presently. A very different dynamic to previous years to be sure. There’s also a lot of roles that rely on technical skil

The best part of this post is where they quote a failed SaSS trying to explain why successful SaSS is wrong. Anything for an edge even if it’s not useful.

Sure can debate the minor points I guess but the overarching theme needs to be more capitalism (private ownership of things, production, etc), more productivity (automate more, more and better jobs, outsource), and more energy (extract more
