Try the fact that the fuel efficiency saves the airline lots of $$$ on fuel, but yet they haven't reduced fares any. Go figure.

This assumes people are A) rational and B) intelligent enough to shop around. Neither is true. It's quite likely that the company making 20% has a much higher marketing budget than the 15% one. People can't choose the cheaper opti

Thanks for the evidence. I understand companies need to change their prices (we do it all the time) but they could've been more circumspect. Do it in the middle of the night on a Tuesday when no one is watching. The product still seems

Did anyone else notice the price has seem to have gone up $10 in the past hour? I could've sworn when I read this initially, it was $89! I had some stuff to do so kind of filed it away to look at later and now it is selling for $99. Al

I meant in general. Many people on intermittent fasting adjust their diet off-fast in various ways to compensate for nutrition they may have missed (i.e. increased protein intake in the following meal, etc)

What is your fasting regimen like? Do you make any other alterations to your diet?

You've specifically picked left-wing examples, but let's not forget that the right is equally as guilty at manufacturing faux outrage as well. See the non-existent border crisis and migrant caravans as the most recent example. Oth

It's self-deprecating, self-referencing and satirical - he is pretending to be a creep complaining about creepy videos as some sort of comment on YouTube and the personalities it enables by himself becoming one of those personalities.

Your reasoning is not backed up by evidence. In the 2016 election, "Social Justice" barely made the top ten issues people voted on[1] (#1, It's the economy, stupid!) The independents that swung for Trump were worried about t

This is from the House Oversight committee, a group made up of a bipartisan group of congressmen whose job is to oversee, investigate and report on the actions of the executive branch.

TIL! This upsets me more than the Chromecast using Google's DNS. I barely use Chrome anymore (just for testing really) but the thought that any domain I wish to go to can be overridden by the browser by default - that's scary. I m

The Weekly Standard folded completely in December, and last year Red State had layoffs. It was interesting to note that TWS was largely anti-Trump, ad Red State laid off mostly anti-Trump writers.

I really can't tell if we are headed towards a "1984" dystopia, a "Brave New World" dystopia, a Black Mirror "Nosedive" dystopia, or now a "GATTACA" dystopia. It seems like we're headed to a

This is one of the hardest concepts to grasp in theoretical physics/quantum physics/cosmology. (And I'm not saying I fully grasp it) We, as beings who experience time linearly, can't fathom the concept of "No time&q

Ha! This is actually pretty darn clever! I wonder what the final binary sizes are in comparison to normal GCC compilation, as well as execution speed. I can't believe you made a floating point emulator just for this as well! Quite impr

I cannot help but think that these big tech companies (FAANG, et. al) are missing out on diversifying and increasing their engineering expertise by passing over developers like you. I often think what would Google/Facebook would be lik

Your analogy is flawed. You assume the smoker is ignorant of the fact that there is a gas leak. It would be better to say the smoker went into a gas filled house with signs that said "NO SMOKING!", smelt gas, looked around and lit

I felt like this for a long time, until the financial crisis in 2008. My sister and her family were struggling so badly. Underwater mortgage, lost the house to foreclosure, could barely afford to rent a place. They were discussing having to

If I were ever in such a position of power I would aggressively push for 32 hour work weeks by 2022. (Tapering down each year until then). I would loop most salaried (OT exempt) jobs into this category as well as I think a lot of "OT e

I would put the commanul garden/park on the top level of the parking garage and have hanging/climbing plants go down the various sides so interior apartments have something nicer to look at. It still meets the parking requirements

Similar - 15 years experience in DevOps, I make $100k at my current job ($20k less than my previous job which was in Los Angeles, I'm still in CA, but away from the metros.) But...and this more than makes up for it...my hours are cappe

This seems to be the case. It takes a mass tragedy to unite people. Look at what happened to GWB's approval after 9/11! I worry it will take another war or mass terror attack to get us out of this divide we are in. If only I were

What is more telling for me is that Apple has cut off all contracts with the company involved and will have nothing more to do with them - despite their denial.
