   Have P/E ratios been rising? Stock prices have likely risen thanks to the buy backs. Have earnings increased proportionally?

   Question: would you use a service that perfectly replicated your existing well fitting clothing? I have this problem — I occasionally find a pair of jeans, shirts etc that fit me really well. Then I can’t buy them again because the brand n

   Is this primarily aimed at building duplexes on bare land? Or to convert existing single family homes to duplexes? For the latter, how are the economics? It is not cheap to prematurely tear down a house to build a duplex instead.

   I wonder if this means iMessage will be coming to Android and other mobile OS?

   This is disheartening. I can see how once people switch to junk food, for lack of availability or other reason, it becomes hard to go back. Junk foods are designed to be addictive (salty, fatty, convenient,...)

    Has anyone attempted a mobile grocery store that drives to food deserts on a fixed schedule? It could say be a container with a single aisle, stocked with the basics and a checkout at one end.

    Apparently some engineers who believe writing code is all that matters (myself included at some point in time).

    We could 3D print some parts? Or scale up the whole thing to allow building complex parts from smaller LEGO pieces?

    Anyone up for building all of them with legos and creating a museum of mechanical movements?

    I tried this myself and can attest that it worked for at least one year. I basically grabbed some dirt + a ground cover type plant + some water and sealed it in a large glass bottle (1 gallon glass milk jugs work too). So I don’t think yo

    The invention of writing systems, numerical systems and mathematics, etc were huge boosts to human’s cognitive capabilities. Have those tools kept up with the explosion of available knowledge?

    My theory is that amazon’s new business model is increasingly going to be based on advertising. Reliable reviews are incompatible with advertising revenue (why else would you have to advertise heavily if your products are really the best).

    It’d be interesting to see if executives from Boeing are willing to fly the 737 Max, as a demonstration of their faith in the plane’s safety.

    Even with parental leave, the need for day care doesn’t stop. Some of the companies I have been part of offer very generous (by US standards) parental leave - 6 months. But the need for day care is there at least until the kids are 2-3 ye

    I’ve been on a personal quest to taste, at least once, the real version of things. Just so that I could say I had and have a point of reference. Olive oil that was pressed in front of my eyes, honey that was extracted from a hive in front

    Thanks for pointing that out. So yes, it seems the legal profession is a cautionary tale.

    This is a cool idea and I’m all for it. However, I’d like to observe that software seems to be one highly skilled profession that is trying to eat itself. All other skilled professions try to protect themselves by limiting supply. That’s

    I really like this insight. However, just to play the devil’s advocate, software engineering is not like chickens laying eggs (a commodity skill). Sometimes, you have problems that most normal people can’t solve on their own and the only p

    Handing out free money will most likely just cause inflation and defeat itself. The inflation will make the amount paid out in basic income insufficient to live on. The alternate to basic income for the purpose of housing, health and food,

    I agree with this thesis. However, doesn’t our economic system rely on lots of consumers? If the majority of people are very poor, would this not reduce the overall economy? Then what’s the benefit to the aristocracy?

    It is a problem when not just Malibu, but the entirety of Los Angeles becomes unaffordable. Then people with less means need to live very far away from where they work, etc.

    I wonder what would happen if you took a black marker to the serial numbers? Perhaps modern bills have other means of encoding their serial numbers.
