I think if you picked a random population of cars, and a random population of bikes, the cars would more regularly break the law - generally speeding (full disclosure, I generally go 10-15 over the speed limit when driving). Then consider i

Rockefeller had a tax rate more than twice what today’s tax rate on the super wealthy is.

Maybe? Depends. But it is laughably far from the “best car [I] have ever driven" - which was the quote I was responding to, and which is the basis for the parents’ argument.

Whoah. Not my experience at all, and I suspect not a lot of other people’s experience either. This is only true if you prioritize car ownership. I have a crappy car that isn’t fun to drive, and I’m happy with that.

To the contrary, new websites with garbage content, swamped by ads - but published recently - often rank above actual quality sites with well written content from 10 years ago. Not saying what you described doesn’t happen, but both are prob

Kirkland products are actually white label versions of the products they copy, produced by the company they are copying - so it’s an entirely different situation - ie Costco is paying brands for their products (albeit at a lower price), not

It’s more like: a market says we won’t have anyone selling weed, and there are stalls selling weed, and someone says “hey, you’re selling weed even though you say you won’t” And unlike a market, which is generally not owned by a single enti

As a pacifist (in high school, no longer), I took issue with the US war in Iraq and refused to stand during the national anthem in classrooms. I was not arrested, or fined - just teased by fellow students. One thing being fought over is dis

Well put! But it depends on how you approach the issue. If having a conscience means prioritizing security above all else, then Keybase is doomed. But security isn’t the only thing that matters. Zoom seems to have focused on making a very u

Or maybe just “what was wrong with existing tools?”

“What problem does this solve that existing tools don’t?” Something that gives them an opening to explain why they went down the path they went down. Bonus - if they didn’t actually think of using sshd, this can lead to a gentle way of brin

There are scientific, fact based reasons to be skeptical of GMOs: - Intellectual property concerns - Biodiversity concerns - Glyphosate-tolerant modifications leading to higher pesticide usage Blanket opposition to GMOs is silly, there&#x27

I’d just like to point out that I have and broke Pyrex, not borosilicate (as explained by the article).

I agree! Let’s all wear flannel and be slackers! You’re doing a throw back to the nineties comment, right?

I also had a Pyrex bowl shatter and didn’t report. I bought a new one and am careful about how I heat it now.
