Well, GM held quite a few jobs (and industries) hostage. They had little IP worth buying, as they were already re-badging Australian and European cars. The latest Saturn's were Opel's. Pontiac's were Holden's. Down econo

The Mustang has been easy to hate, but in Ford's defense, the latest gen Mustang is on order of magnitude better than any mustang from the 80's on. Independent rear suspension gives it actual handling, and after a tune that 2.3 ec

Digitally Imported is pretty great. I've subscribed for years alongside Spotify and prefer it for set and forget playback of a genre of electronic music. Spotify is for specific playback and discovery. There may be a free trial, and I

I've noticed Netflix stuttering on Edge too. I think there is a combination of web player and compression issues happening. The quality is really good on some titles, like the latest F1 docu-series. Others have terrible quality, like t

Honestly, random strangers. Their motivations will be far more transparent than those of gov't level entities. Also, you can respond to your house getting robbed by adding locks, bars, camera's etc. If a gov't level entity is

I like Dakine's Mission. Similar size, but the one large front organizer pocket is great. Side pockets for a small charger and mouse. Main compartment can handle my 15" gaming laptop fine. Jacket can easily be strapped to the back

You're still enjoying the FI part of FIRE. Being financially independent means you can just leave when shit gets intolerable, which in-turn raises your level of tolerance for, well, shit. Once upon a time, I hit my number,the FI mark.

Would hate to be an employee working for a Tesla dealership. Closing, not closing, but maybe closing. If they don't already, I'd expect most employees to have one foot out the door. Fortunately for Tesla, there is a bit of a cult

Interested in your comment on Tesla Bluetooth support. When you say "select music" do you mean basic skipping/play pause? Because anything more than that (like browsing a catalog of music) really isn't supported by the

Comments like this are horribly counter-productive to people struggling with mental illness. Imagine saying to a diabetic, "Why would you want to be continually reliant on a designer drug for the rest of your life just to feel normal?&

Surely plastic surgery and contacts are cheaper than $137MM. I'd guess a new identity with valid (enough) passport is less than $137MM as well!

Fun and challenging is key. One thing about predictable AI's that irks me is once an optimal strategy is discovered, variance from that strategy is no longer rewarded. This creates a tactical endgame I wish didn't exist. For insta

Which I'm willing to bet almost everyone in the US does. You would have to go WAY out of the way to only wear natural fibers with no synthetic component.

You don't drive drunk, but other people do. breathalysers are only put in AFTER an offense. To eliminate the "first generation" drunk driving accidents would require preemptive installation of breathalysers on every car. The

$200k for a happier life, and more realistically $385k, make a lot more sense to me than the $70k that I saw floating around a few years ago. The more you make, the better you can handle the 3 versions of yourself. The debt from the past, F

Assuming your mother and yourself each have your own residences, your 2 households own 12 properties. Your situation isn't unique. Investors over the past decade went on a massive buying spree that has reduced the pool of affordable, a

Yes I understand that. Plundering the wealth of the rich is a terrible idea. It's a classic straw man: Theory: We should tax the rich. Straw-man: If we took the 400 richest people it would only fund the gov't for 7 months! Accept

Yeah, arbitrary cutoffs make me question things in statistical analysis. This isn't much different. Why 400? Why Billionaires? And think about it, with the wealth of 400 people a 331,194,000 person country's gov't programs,

Simply accepting you're in the wrong location means moving, and you can't move a factory and all it's workers cheaply. Similarly, no one wants to automate their own job away, as that would result in them not having a job. Gra

I think burn in makes it a worse candidate for smart phones! There are a lot of static images (icons, clock, weather) that will burn-in over regular usage. I love the OLED demos, but modern LCD screens these days are pretty solid. ~$2700 fo

I've worked with people who would have produced more for the company collecting their paycheck and just not showing up to work. Don't let the freeloaders distract you, and maybe let the ball drop occasionally so they HAVE to catc

This is a great idea! And the tech to do it is already available. So why isn't it implemented tomorrow? There are too many questions on where the liability lies. What city would take on the risk of their infrastructure failing causing

Perhaps, but it is the individual who throws things out, not her. That's the distinction I was making.

Might be worth watching an episode of the show to better understand what Kondo's process is. She doesn't clean or work some one off magic. She teaches 5(?) core lessons to help maintain tidiness. She doesn't excavate their p

I've looked at that before, and I can't claim this with 100% certainty, but seems I cannot use my current email address. I don't want to change that.

I agree with your underlying point, but distribution cost absolutely matters when determining price. Competition for time is a great way of framing why I pay for many services. I pay $10 to Spotify to avoid hundreds of commercials each mon

My thoughts are that they did this to force less savvy individuals deeper into the ecosystem. Joe Consumer will buy an iPhone, AirPods, and Mac Pro without thinking, and iCloud will manage the syncing, and the nightly charge most users requ
