Most people don’t live in the US. The cars that are popular in the US are already less popular outside. That trend can continue while everyone else moves to smaller electric cars. Americans still don’t use metric. That hasn’t stopped everyo

The north, where a lot of the new greening will occur, also has shorter days as winter comes. How much longer could the growing seasons in the north get?

New York City has no current shortage of jobs or growth. Incentives aren’t needed. If they wanted to offer incentives for companies to move to Buffalo, it might be worth it. But NYC will be fine without it.

The OP didn’t say they we deliberately political. He said they were by default.

Why should you have to avoid political talk? Why shouldn’t you be allowed to talk about whatever you want? Also, your grammar errors arn’t those typically made by a Francophone. This is a tell.

Britain isn’t going to turn into some Mad Max wasteland like some claim, but it will be worse off. The big thing is that on average the larger more open market will have more growth than the smaller more closed one. That growth will be comp

Facebook is ‘the media.’ Newspapers, magazines and TV are just advertisements with enough other stuff in the middle to get you attention. Facebook is the same thing.

What you’re saying is still true in a constitutional monarchy. Being a republic or democracy doesn’t matter. Its the constitutional part that’s important.

The United Stares is a constitutional republic and a representative democracy. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and a representative democracy. Democracy is not the opposite of a republic. Monarchy is.

If they claim their homeopathic remedy has any medicinal benefit there is no proof for, then yes they should be prosecuted. Thats not free speech. That’s fraud.

Here’s a thought experiment: Product A has 100 parts. Each part has a 10 percent chance of breaking over the products lifetime. Product B has 25 parts. Each has a 10 percent chance of breaking over the product’s lifetime. Which product is m

This may be generally true, but I don’t think it is specifically in the case of Telltale. They made interactive fiction. Should that really require superstar programmers? Where they probably should’ Been spending their money is on artists t

Since this is from Blackmagic what might be more interesting is a more expensive version of this with decklink built in. Then you could plug your output monitor straight into it. For a lot of people working in film/video that little ex

Running a desktop would be cheaper, but a lot of people have to do stuff remote from a laptop. This thing seems a bit big to be really portable, but some version of an egpu would be great at preventing Resole from melting your laptop.

Do you watch 24 different HBO shows a year, or do you watch 4 or 5?

by siidooloo 8y ago
HBO and Netflix both produce a couple of dozen shows a year. HBO seems like it has a better hit ratio because you have to go back every week to get an update on the one or two current shows you enjoy. HBO has a better presentation for appea

People arn’t going to continue subscribing to HBO because they had a bunch of shows they liked 10 years ago. They subscribe because of new things they want to watch. At any one time HBO has about 3 to 5 shows a year that I like. Netflix see

I feel like HBO manages to make people feel like there are fewer lulls in its schedule by stretching their shows airtimes out over 3 or 4 months. On other services people watch a show over a week and then look for something else.

Most of the postmodern fiction I’ve read (Pynchon, Foster-Wallace, etc) seems to have the opposite problem: too much stuff happening.

It doesn’t have enoigh rain to really feel cyberpunk. ... on a side note, I just realized we’re now as far away from cyberpunk in time as cyberpunk was from the golden age of sci-fi. That also feels wrong somehow.

If you’re building a web app you can fail upwards until you find success. If you’re building a car and you fail people die. Its like the difference between any random saas and Theranos.

This seems like a god of the gaps kind of argument. As we learn more about biology and neuroscience people who believe consciousness and the mind exist outside of the brain will be forced to make increasingly specific claims. They will even

Nothing is forever. The current regime in China won't be forever either. The question is how long. After Augustus Rome still had a couple of hundred years of expansion where a nationalist could argue, “hey look at that! Things are stil

That didn’t work for the USSR, why would it work for China? As long as some things are off limits / as long as people know they arn’t alowed to research this or that, then they’ll be at a long term disadvantage to those that do. China

Companies that get too intermingled with the Chinese government are likely to fall victim to some corporate version of Lysenkoism. No company is good at everything. All companies fail eventually. But, if you can’t you’ll eventually grind aw
