I think people look at "national debt" as though we're buying trillions of dollars of stuff and not, fundamentally, two things: 1) mandatory saving for future, like a Social Security for the country (which is ironically also

As long as there's someone to produce it ... forever? I somehow keep eating 6-10 eggs a week despite not having a chicken.

I think you can look at UX like this less like a web page and more like a presentation. In that framing it's more palatable. In general we consume blogs more like traditional web pages, so it feels ... "wrong," but in some wa

We are a consumer nation because we are more prosperous than our peers. It's the same reason you buy your food at a grocery store. Generally, the clamoring for domestic production comes down to: 1. Employment. But because we are more p

Definitely one of the most unique bands to (kind of) "make it" and have some staying power. My best friend and I saw them when we were 13. I don't know what TMBG concerts are like in the last 15-20 years, but there were maybe

I agree, which is why the Wright Brothers less "invented flight" than "had the first sustained engine-powered flight." A lot of historical documents describe it similarly to the latter, but that doesn't quite roll o

I think this is a different argument than the disposable, single-use economy being described. The volume of things we buy but don't need (or necessarily want) drives a huge sector of the global economy. We're working to fill our l

If you look at it less as "if A then B" and more like "if A then possibly B" as it's usually intended then I think you can strip the fallacy. Almost anything is possible, but even in this case it was never inevitabl

In the SASS days I rarely found myself using the more advanced features and native CSS variables/nesting kind of killed the appeal for me altogether. But libraries and approaches like that really pushed the standards a bunch and it see

Important distinction here is that not every software update for a vehicle is intended to fix bugs, much less those than contribute to driving error. Not every Tesla update is a recall, for example. It's a good separation when an updat

Perhaps, but I suspect space nerds in general support geo-collaborative space efforts over privatized ones taking the reins.

Well the last guy to publicly do that (Thailand caves) got it much worse so either Elon's developing a softer side or astronaut got off easy.

That's true, but if someone sells you a one-time-purchase box/gadget/phone that will do a snapshot SOTA work and not cost you $20-$200/mo in subscriptions, a lot of people would be in. Right now the average person has to

Raw flour is generally not pasteurized, it's true, but most cookie dough mixes are. The eggs are a far more likely vector for illness unless you're making the cookies yourself from scratch.

There's a flip side to that, which is anhedonia. If you're always at a mid, it's kind of harder to get the highs. But you avoid the lows, I suppose.

At a certain point I don't see why a human needs to be in the loop at all. But I suppose that's the most dystopian part of it all.
