What about the tens of millions of people who actively fucking hated it for being the cesspool of anti-rational, ethno-nationalist, nazi-enabling degeneracy it truly was? Seems to me the folks in the fringe minority (as the convoy types are

The "Freedumb" Convoy "Protest" had Nazis in it, therefore it was a Nazi "Protest." The second they didn't kick out the dudes waving Nazi flags they lost any credibility they claimed to have. And for the r

What's really terrifying / depressing / disgusting though, is that an even more insidious kind of Chinese "pre-censorship" is now increasingly worming it's way into western media not even explicitly intended fo

I absolutely LOATHE the Verge's reviews. Just such low effort, "Let's talk about how this thing makes me FEEL rather than how it PERFORMS" garbage for an ostensibly tech focused website. Like they don't actually com

Utterly disgusting for the obscenely wealthy CEO of one of the most valuable and profitable companies on Earth to be telling employees they "Need to work harder" or they're going to get laid off, as let's not beat around

Wildly disappointing that this massive, and blatantly illegal collection of user location data has (of course) merely resulted in a slap on the wrist for the perpetrators here. There should be huge (multi millions) fines and probably even j

So a company who's only operational history is repairing and rebuilding ICE DeLoreans from old stock parts now wants us to believe they're capable of building a modern EV? I'd put good money on this one being yet more EV vapo

No, Graham Hancock is an anti-science charlatan. No actual archaeologists take him remotely seriously.

Were that the case we'd have evidence of the "Material culture" of these cultures, yet we do not. Conversely, we have literally TONS of archaeological evidence of Neolithic hunter-gatherer people spread across the entire worl

So your point is basically to teach your kids to be climate change deniers? And your supporting evidence is a reading list of pop-science books none of which were written by actual climate scientists? Sounds like you need to apply a bit mor

So much of the discussion around homelessness these days essentially boils down to "How can we move these people to a place where we don't have to look at them" instead of "How do we build a society where homelessness do

Great, so now even cars, one of the few things that if maintained properly you could expect to last more than few years, will now be the same cheap, disposable, Chinese made landfill-fodder everything else is quickly becoming. This "Ca

I highly doubt Dell or any of the other large system integrators will ever bring a truly "repairable" laptop to market, as like auto makers, they depend far too much on service / support revenue from their institutional custo

One thing the article didn't mention, that at least I think plays a factor, is for whatever reason, no matter how long their properties sit vacant and empty, commercial landlords never seem to lower their lease rates. For some esoteric

Sounds like the author is just frustrated he can't offload his parental responsibilities onto YouTube. You are your child's parent. Not YouTube. If you want to control what you child watches, its on you to figure that out, not for

This article should be taken with a huge grain of salt, as it's coming from a company that sells a service that is essentially is a competitor to the performance media channels it lambasts. Any article that says "Don't buy X

#1 biggest mistake these so called "Conversion Rate Specialists" made is presenting a bunch of opinions and calling them facts. Unless there is statistically relevant data presented that shows how the tactics recommended led to an

Yet somehow when I make a search for a suitably generic product like "Wireless earbuds" the top 20 results are crap products that all have thousands of reviews and 4.5+ star ratings.

Graham Hancock is an utter charlatan who willfully manipulates and mispresents the truth for profit. There are so many gaping holes in his theories he purposefully ignores because addressing them would require him to completely discard his

Think of it this way. Company A is hiring for role X. They get 100 candidates, interview 10, with each candidate going through a 5 interviews at an average of an hour each, assuming they hire 1 candidate, that's 45 hours of people&#x27

Without any qualitative data to back this up, these are merely the feelings and intuitions of some random web developer. While these feelings and intuitions may be largely accurate, without any actual evidence to support the hypothesis &quo

Housing is the crux of this problem and is an issue so intractable, I genuinely don't see a solution. The way the housing market across much of the western world is the way that now is, is because rich people made it that way, and they

The problem with film school's like Columbia, is they're deluding their students with this ludicrously unreasonable expectation that they're going to graduate and immediately get jobs at the very top of the film industry hier

This isn't an Amazon bug, it's a feature. Amazon has known for YEARS about sleazy (Mostly Chinese) sellers manipulating reviews, paying for review and generally engaging in super shady practices, and Amazon has done literally NOTH

Seasteading (at least in its current libertarian guise) has always seemed to me like a bunch of rich people just wanting to run (float?) away from the problems they themselves helped create. Like how about instead of spending billions on fl

You talk exclusively in qualitative statements, but do you have any quantitative data to back up any of things you are saying? Its all well and good to say what you think someone should do, but without actual data to back up these state

You clearly have never been a farmer. People left the farms because the alternatives were BETTER. Not because of "optimism" but because working 12 hours a day for a guaranteed wage you could use to buy food / clothing /

The truly terrifying thing to me about the Chinese social credit system is that the CCP is actively trying to package and sell it to other autocratic states. They're testing it out and optimizing it on their own populace, but the event

It depends on the market. Here in Vancouver Kijiji is a distant second to Craigslist in terms of volume of listings / activity.

And absolutely nothing will change. In fact the volume of counterfeit goods, fake reviews and scams on Amazon and other marketplaces will only increase. Its honestly not even really Amazon's problem at this point, its more that there i
