The major problem I see is: focusing on an individual, when it's the team that needs to be A-level. You can't just throw a bunch of A-players together and expect an A-team. Expecting your workers to never make the same mistake tw

Sodium-ion sounds pretty nice also. You don't have the restrictions of a standard passenger vehicle (you have more space). I imagine in the future they'll look back on when we drove cars that were so combustible (ICE or lithium-i

The rest of the EU countries who were being defrauded of their tax revenue sure cared. You act like it's a victimless crime and it most definitely is not.

Why does quality and lifespan have to be a dichotomy? In fact the more I think about it, living a quality lifestyle often leads to longer life (eating healthy, keeping fit, having meaningful friendships). Both my wife and I have signed the

Alternative take: don't reheat chicken in the microwave. A good toaster oven reheats (non-sauced) meats a lot better.

It does heat food as evenly (possibly more evenly) than my other microwaves.

Except they were avoiding tax in the rest of the EU, so the EU can fine Apple for skirting taxes on products that were actually sold in those other areas. tl;dr - EU makes rules that companies need to follow no matter which EU country they

I use Amazon for basic reviews (knowing sellers and reviewers fully game this) to get an idea of basic considerations, then buy locally or via some other online portal. I only actually buy stuff on Amazon that are low-cost, non-critical ite

I migrated our house to a "commercial" variant of the microwave oven [1] as I was tired of all the over-engineering and annoying patterns in modern microwaves. This microwave has exactly UI element other than the door - a digital

A few years ago I cracked my iPhone7+ screen in several places (dangerous to use any swipe features) but I wanted to wait the few months until the next iPhone revision so I just put a screen protector on it and honestly, it was quite usable

Speed bumps, roundabouts, chokers and chicanes are very useful traffic calming methods for residential streets.

Seems to dovetail with this trend of skyrocketing insurance costs nationwide [1]. So unlike other insurers this one didn't increase their rates accordingly or were just massively mismanaged. Regardless, the options for cabbies/ub

Do you happen to own an electric vehicle? Modern EVs simply have tons of battery. My newest EV has the equivalent of 5.7 Powerwall 3 home batteries. Much of this is excess - if you commute 50mi/daily, given the range at 80% is est. 30

I think you can just omit the "instead of on paper". The more companies that don't store personal data, the better. What's their rationale?

Really a pittance compared to how much these organizations turn over on a quarterly basis... but it's a good start.

In the US we spend 10x that on military expenditures that have marginal benefit to our own society. I think the EU model is preferable.

We’ll have agree to disagree. Aluminum uses a lot of energy to refine and cast, yes but is more durable and recyclable.

Totally - my energy costs in CA with solar = generation is super-cheap during daytime but transmission costs from PG&E are insanely high.

We're talking about getting a judgement in the court of public opinion not a court of law, and no one is exempt from the former.

This sounds like a nice side-effect - I wonder why it happens.

What's to prevent corporations and the rich from taking advantage of this? ie, my job is $10k + rest in "tips"?
