"I want burning man to grow up" is basically saying you don't understand the point of burning man. I think you just don't like burning man, which is fine! Not everything is for everybody. But just because you don't

No burning man is no wing. It is a middle finger to a false dichotomy. Thats just your opinion of what a better future is, stop trying to enforce your opinions on others. Practice more radical self reliance, be your own, don't just vom

Lighting large fires when the lefty social pressure says that it is “bad” is in keeping with the burning man ethos. The lefty “man” keeps trying to control and bully everyone into meaningless virtue signaling and herd mentality. Defying tha

Most research shows that anonymous accounts actually facilitate more conciliatory and nuanced discussions. The big issue in social media is that the moderates are attacked by both sides. They are often attacked more viciously by those of th

A lot of research has been done on this. For most people their IRL social circle is a much smaller and stronger bubble than what their online presence is exposed to. Even a classic “echo chamber” online is likely to expose most people to gr

The number of companies currently on the Nasdaq that got their Sequoia funding while having a bunch of functioning flaming poo for code kinda proves him wrong. The startup graveyard contains the corpses of many “perfect architectures”. This

I would agree, the UX is really clunky. Apple Maps used to be a complete joke but I tried it out a year or so ago after they did a big push to update it. For driving it is really good, for public transport or biking it is very city dependen

That is false. As you get older your pace of work slows but its because much fewer motions are wasted. A good engineer should be like a strong swimmer with no wasted or frantic effort. Smooth, controlled, powerful. In large orgs or complex

Then maybe we don't let them study here if they don't need it and we don't want them?

No further engagement until you critique Xi or the CCP to prove good faith.

I have talked to people who saw it. Similar to how we can still talk to holocaust survivors. Maybe they are all lying. But the motive seems unclear and the testimonies are corroborated by others.

Yes, eye witness accounts. Thousands of families whose children never came home. Widely available photos online. The smoking gun that you aren’t allowed to talk about it.

We should never yield a political, ideological, or material inch to the barbaric CCP and their brainwashed citizens.

They machine gunned and steam rolled their own people by the thousands. Used road equipment to make them into a giant “meat pie” (British ambassador’s description) soaked the sea of mangled corpses in gas and lit it on fire. Then they drove

no I am saying hijacking a comment on decision making to leverage a tragedy in order to make some thoughtless “amazon bad” claim is kinda weird. There is no right to your phone at work. Should there be? I dunno, probably not, but if you fee

Not every quote about Bezos/Amazon is an opportunity for an off topic virtue signaling “dunk”. If they are breaking the law lets prosecute them. If there is a law you want changed vote for a legislator to back it. If you don’t like the

Ok, so factually we are more wealthy than we have ever been as a society across the entire wealth distribution and yet we have an obesity epidemic. An obesity epidemic is very much a rich country problem. Our terrible food has nothing to do

Is there anything as elitist as saying "Hope that clears things up for you."? As if you are an arbiter of clarity. I'll do my part building things that are pretty and useful. You do whatever you think is best.

This happens all the time. This twitter account has tons of examples: https://twitter.com/arch_crimes/status/1460426779714220032?s... Also most suburban sprawl is a never ending construction site. It is insanely e

If our options are trying to remain status quo or becoming “elite” (as if thats a thing) well then I am not picking status quo. We should build things that inspire is what I am saying and yes I used a visual imagery of the least inspiring m

We as a society, in many aspects, used to eat AND build better when we were poorer. It is a matter of desire and priority. Also McDonalds is only cheaper if you’re in a food desert. Which areas that rely on stroads rarely are. Also, notice

Has anyone ever put a picture of a stroad up as art/instagram etc like you see with downtown NYC, Paris, small european villages, shanghai, rural mountain towns, old downtowns in America etc? Of course not. It is the McDonald’s of city

How is it walking or biking? Or is it only healthy if you’re in a couple thousand pound armored living room on wheels?

No split screen multiplayer? Look half this game is nostalgia. Do people really have nostalgia for sitting alone in their basement?

Not lift tickets. Ski passes like IKON and Epic caused an explosion of short term rental behavior.

Crested Butte is not just a ski town. Most ski towns in CO are not just ski towns. But CB is especially popular with mountain bikers and is busy almost year round.

Studded tires work great. People use them at ski resorts and mountain towns from Colorado to Alaska.
