I find video games to be quite boring and useless. But somehow my opinion on the value of entertainment is ignored, and all the energy used on video games is fine.

I don't think you read the website. You can verify the funds aren't spent via NFC chip and the blockchain itself. You then rotate the user key so only you can spend it after receiving the bill. A bit cumbersome but your criticism

It will be on engineering and product management to know what is a trivial vs. non-trivial feature and decide the product roadmap. This is not a question of what is the valuable feature. I’m saying if you have an organization that can’t shi

If you want a shipping culture then encourage, praise, and promote people who actually ship features. If this is a new mindset shift, you will have some crabby people who complain about supposed corners being cut, red tape not worshipped pr

I will assert that the US medical system has pros and cons, and I would advocate for significant structural reform. But such reform has not occurred despite decades of trying, and that’s because the system is not without the pros, and the p

A bit confusing because the hospitals in Boston have wings for foreigners with luxury accommodations, and people all over the world fly in to get top-tier procedures done. My son was born with complications and my insurance paid for all of

For medicine, Americans go over the border. For healthcare, Canadians go over the border to America.

FYI this is jump trading, probably the largest prop trader and market maker in crypto. I have heard they lost over $4 billion from the Luna / UST crash although their profits from the bull run were so high they are likely fine.

That the west allows unrestricted criticism of its own leaders shows strength - the governments aren’t afraid to be criticized. That China and other authoritarian dictatorships are so obsessed with policing every last morsel of criticism sh

Insiders sell stock whether executives or employees. Otherwise why work for a company and get compensated in stock if selling it was banned / frowned upon?

PopOS 22 bricked my touchpad (System76). Other people have posted about the same issue and no fix is here. Minus the touchpad, great laptop. I just use an external mouse but I prefer a working touchpad.

Ah yes, when the news disagrees with your worldview attack the source. The article is well-researched with plenty of links, but your response is expected.

The amount of carbon a gas stove emits, like plastic straws, plastic bags, and all manner of bans the eco-activists are forcing on society, is so infinitesimally small compared to the airplanes the same activists and politicians use to jet

However you want to phrase it, politicians can pass a bill and get $2 trillion to hand out instantly. They don't need to seize money from private institutions and billionaires to fund their waste.

Here is a fairly good overview from 2013 https://reason.org/wp-content/uploads/files/high_speed_rail_... But again - lose the subsidies and lose the unions, and then see what is cost effective.

by seibelj 4y ago
A fairly good rule of thumb for the market test of an industry is how much subsidies they receive as a percentage of their revenue. For example renewable energy is constantly said to be cost competitive with fossil fuels, yet the industry i

Yes but acting like 99% of humanity is going to die is irrational, illogical, not true in any reality, and scares the shit out of people. It’s tragic that doomers have made people think that has any chance of happening.
