Generally I agree with you. The part where I disagree is the 'why' and the 'who'. There are a number of very strong forces (aka lobbying groups, aka decisions like 'no child left behind') doing their best to de

The complaint was about a corporation not holding up its promises to customers or looking to defraud them of pennies, dollars or in this case access. The issue isn't phone companies vs tech companies. It was always about support and th

It's only somewhat worth it? Japan has reasonable real estate and yet around 10% is in Tokyo proper, nearly 30% in the greater metropolis. Less than half own their homes. This study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc

I think this ignores that marketing is essentially insidious. The goal is to get you to do more of x. We spend a lot of life building up the mental tools and energy and math skills to understand whether we actually want to do x or whether s

I think you might be overestimating the number of people who could do this: "you could always get a job as long as you had a pulse and could name a programming language". Gig work has been found to be intensely on the rise, with v

Yep and you're often - in a cust service, over the phone call - automatically opted into voice recognition. Even when I ask to be opted out I have absolutely no way of determining whether they have. Even better, lines that will not hel

I think thats possible but also I felt it dismissive when I read it. Much like the seemingly frustrated post about simmering and not having a degree definition of simmer, your grandmother likely spent a lot of time developing skill and kn

As you consider the issue this phrase I think is the best synopsis of your thoughts: When it is so well known, at some point it isn’t a “trick” anymore, right And yet we fall for the same tricks again and again. The most politically pressin

Its not a "yet", its an effort that is part of a larger one. LIDAR and facial recognition should not be used. We should be against both. Congestion pricing hits the lowest earning individual the highest. Congestion pricing shoul

It is a continuing trend to push arbitration. Go to the dentist? Sign an arbitration clause. Don't sign it? Can't see that dentist (I went to four) Bid on a house! Somewhere between 2020 and 2024 they've added an arbitration
