A grammar nazi thing to do would be me complaining about you using an en dash when you meant to use an em dash. Or using single quotes when you should be using double quotes. But I don't really care because you're just making a sh

I think the issue with many rural Americans is that they don't realize they are the most subsidized people in this country.

This is true, but do we have a need for random airports in sparse parts of the country that require government subsidies?

22 million Americans benefit from the Affordable Care Act subsidies. I hardly think it is just some small number of socialists who care about this.

The two longest shutdowns in the history of the United States of America have occurred under Donald J. Trump. Trump is hosting Great Gatsby parties, traveling, golfing, and doing everything except trying to end the shutdown. He doesn't

It's probably because a lot of smaller airports in the middle of nowhere would be hard to get coverage for. The current system sends controllers to where they are needed, not to where people want to work. Now, should more productive pa

It is kind of wild that airports themselves don't straight up pay for this. I can understand not wanting to privatize it, as they'll be liable to half-ass it, but surely a usage fee on flights would cover it? I wonder if this is b

Yes. He could do solid work when you narrowly define it but he probably sank the productivity and morale of people he was working with. Individual performance doesn’t matter. Team performance does. All of this work to find 10x engineers is

That’s pretty faint praise.

It seems to me a really talented engineer would deliver more than solid work, no?

“He’s a great engineer.” “Also, he never shipped anything good.” Hiring is completely broken in a lot of tech. Getting the right companies on your resume early on — regardless of your skills — makes you a made person. And then if you know h

Storm was a very un-Blackberry phone and objectively awful. It should never have been released.

Windows Metro UI was fantastic. It was leagues better than Android for sure. It was a very different take than iOS as well. Honestly, it's a huge loss for all of us. I always felt like the U.S. government should have blocked Google fro

This sounds absolutely awful for human health. I have to imagine this really messes up sleep patterns and raises rates of depression, anxiety, and obesity.

It was very much to dismantle Al Qaeda and senior leadership. Just killing Bin Laden wouldn’t have done that much.

This is probably very location dependent. I live in an urban area and my food comes hot. However, since I live in an urban area I have been just doing takeout and picking it up myself. The cost of these delivery apps went up radically over

It's incredible how easy it was to raise money in that time frame and how hard it is to raise money now. They would throw huge sums of money at you for the dumbest ideas. It's important to note that the AI Pin powered by ChatGPT w

It seems like that and the 300ish patents. The patents themselves could be worth quite a bit. It's possible they think the OS and the team that built it could have value if put to better uses than building an AI pin.

I’m not a Spotify user but this is largely still how I relate to music on Apple Music and Apple Classical. Yes there are playlists and stations but there always were before streaming too.
