It sounds like you are saying Stallman is supposed to be the more desirable boss. Is that really what you meant? If so, then I would pick a different public figure for your example. I have first hand experience with this, and, lol.

Are you suggesting it would be better if jobs requiring travel were illegal because they represent a loophole to discriminate against people with families?

Not sure why downvoted. Do people think this comment indicates you are an antivaxxer? Which part of the comment suggests that?

Fashion is a key word here. Most customers - especially commercial developers - have a shockingly neutral sense of taste. Here is the budget, build the most fashionable thing you can. I think loads of modern buildings are essentially the sa

These buildings distress me as well. I always called them panel style before I learned of one-plus-five. I often imagine finding the developer, and looking at the building with them saying - look at what you left here! Bad dog!

Speaking of leading to the “insanely great” promised land, apple’s cofounder was an infamous crier...not sure how that fits into the worldview here.

I dropped my scrip when I realized a long morning sit has about the same effect but without the side effects of stimulants - which were considerable. Not to get down on stimulants, those can be amazing drugs.

Commercial lending has this component as well. Any real estate operator working at scale will have some experience with giving this or that project back to the bank.

I work in a 10 person open office with lots of separation - 1200sqft, 7 would be better but there is no comparison to a 50 person bullpen with everyone within arms reach of another.

Those boxes are all the same size - Tetris on easy mode. Pickle Robot is also working on this but with a fixed base and support for random box sizes/weights. We’ve just started scratching the surface of palletizing/loading with re

Tax reform proposal: the limited liability shield is incredibly inexpensive, bordering on free ($600/yr here in MA). On the other hand, it’s insanely valuable. Let’s generate tax revenue by charging fairly for this incredible gift to b

Same - and I’ve recently upped my long runs to 12mi, which I do before eating anything. I’m sure there are limits where you need to fuel before or during an endurance activity, but I’m surprised and happy to not have found it yet.

Just to be clear, and I don’t think you said otherwise, that 5k number is only pedestrian deaths. In 2016 there were 37,000 fatalities from motor vehicle crashes. The figure in the article is similarly reporting all automotive fatalities.

Most of that drink's $13 is paying for the venue in which you consumed it. Frankly, I also dont really get why it's so much more fun to drink with friends in expensive and crowded spaces than our own spaces, but I appreciate that&

I think this really speaks to the issue - by making things quick, easy, and fair-with-documentation, we lose out on the opportunity to practice a bunch of hard-to-relearn (and imo valuable) social skills and machinery that comes with interp
