Once you start looking for biomimicry you see it everywhere. Nature is full of good ideas! I still remember what a friend told me in college who was a biology major. Apparently the human foot is the most complex piece of engineering we know

Your confusion is understandable especially if English isn't your first language. That leads me to believe you don't live in the Bay Area. But no, the parent is really saying that the friend makes ten times more money. That's

Thanks for sharing! I have heard this called biomimicry. When you take inspiration from nature to create designs. I enjoyed this video on the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf4oW8OtaPY

Almost all my favorite games as a kid were from Bullfrog. They had so many great titles back in those days. Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Syndicate. Many hours spent!

Based on a few of the comments on this thread, I wanted to point out that filing an S-1 is not something that you just do overnight. When companies decide to go public it's a lot of work usually involving multiple dedicated teams on th

Oh god...Marin NIMBYism is really crazy when it comes to that stuff. And there's a lot of conspiracy theory / 5G type stuff that goes on as well. Strange to think that many of the folks who live there are in charge of a lot of the

Not only is it hard, it's the one thing that if you get it right, your technical foundation will be rock solid. But it's the thing most teams and organizations neglect to spend enough time on. I often wonder why this is the case -

Hey friend, you need to do your own research before demanding citations. You've made quite a few wrong or misinformed claims yourself. Much of what you're saying requires citation are just the basic assumptions that the current ma

I think you might be misunderstanding the parent's point. The inflation is already here! Indeed, inflation is how the economy is managed. As much as inflation sucks, economists would way rather have that as a problem than deflation.

I think most serious anarchists acknowledge that humans won't exist in a true state of nature for very long. People will always band together for security which with scale requires administration. That becomes a de facto state. I remem
