He gives a few good examples of well-supported RSS feeds, but the reality is, in 2025, RSS is dying. So many places have RSS feeds that constantly break, suddenly stop updating, get relocated without notice, or don't exist at all.

Here's the trouble with this article. I fear this problem will only get worse. In the first paragraph, various authors are quoted from the 20th century. Except for Putnam and a few of those after, I've never heard of any of the

For those saying "people need to stop buying cars that have locked subscription features" -- soon it may be very hard to do so. The industry has been allowed to consolidate so much, and our antitrust enforcement so lax, that the

It seems every 10 years there is a promising development along these lines in dentistry. Examples include a cavity vaccine, various coatings, and tooth-growing drugs like this one. Yet, nothing ever comes to fruition. Dentistry is nearly

Why does it seem like there is so much "fad-like appeal" even in the rungs of upper management at large companies. You see it now with AI. Diverting of resources away from projects that, only a few years ago, were yielding good
