I am talking about adoption and standardization, not whether one is better than the other. If right hand side was “better”, it would be pretty much impossible for US/EU to change the driving side. Can you imagine the costs? Even if it

I really don’t think that’s the issue. Even in the US, people complain constantly about the units. The stubbornness you speak of is actually more to do with not willing to accept the costs of the change. World’s largest economy can’t just c

I really didn’t enjoy this presentation. Her attitude is what killed it for me and it’s unfortunate, because she has some amazing skills.

Designers don’t get it. What do they teach in design schools these days? Genuine question. I hope stuff like this is brought up? How do you even become a UI designer?

Two things: 1. Take PG like an opinion piece in the newspaper. 2. This article so vehemently tries to criticize PG for his lack of sources, but it itself does not provide sources or data to support their criticism; instead it raises more rh

Yes and the whole multi million/billion dollar law business exists around it. Tax law and tax attorneys. Their job is to find legal loopholes.

I would argue that ICBMs are a peaceful weapon. Look up nuclear deterrence.

No jokes, shenanigans, memes, etc. except for extremely witty and situational humor. It’s refreshing.

Did you miss that this whole article is satire?

The sad part is that you're not wrong and I have to concede with intense laughter.

Class action suits should require at the minimum replacement or repair of the product in question, including shipping to the user. Otherwise, lawyers get paid and I get $0.21 cent check in the mail.

Holyshit, that actually sounds more involved than I thought. It dawned to me that that's why there exists API versions (v1, v2, etc). Zapier sounds like theyre maintaining these integrations so that they are tested and they work? That

Good point. So Case 1 is more fascist, opposite of what the OP is claiming.

Zapier is doing something complex? It is literally looking at json schemas and API specs and the connecting fields together. A date-time field is connected to another API's date-time.

Musk should negotiate with the state of Texas: If you want to grow and compete, having a Tesla presence in Texas, you're gonna have to get rid of ancient absurd laws.

> To require non-essential workers to go back to work right now is far more fascist than to require people to stay in place to protect their health. How is that more facist? I am reading the definition of Fascism: ----- a political philo

Just curious about your statements regarding SQ. Their entire model is that they're a bank (I think they got approved a day or two ago) based on credit-card transaction volumes in retail business. Retail businesses are the shadow of SE

Yes, definitely, American healthcare system needs a reboot - this might be a good time to do that. The only difference is that I would be paying about the same but the insurance would cover the rest. The problem being - if you're well

What's your central point or take away? Every European country, Japan, China, Korea, Switzerland, UK are providing relief to their population by "printing money". It is a temporariy (3 month) stimulus that lifts the lowest an

I think the healthcare system and medical supply chain are two separate things. A universal healthcare system (for E.g. Sweden) still has a normal supply chain. The only difference is the profit motives are not present and the government ca

Just curious - why didn’t they test the probe in different types of soils here on earth to see if it would get stuck? Or may be the article is twisting the actual reason? The article just says “It got stuck because the soil was clumpier tha

As a consumer, how do you know which ones are to trust and which ones to not? How do you know that your N95 mask is “fine”? Ultra fine submicron particles in your lungs can lead to a lot of problems. These fibers are essentially plastic.

You might get flagged for flame war comment, despite of making too much sense. I’m with you. There are certain things that I, too, want to rant about but we’ve created a soft spoken courteous society where falsehood and mediocrity prevails

The cost of a half a dozen fighter jets can be used to stock up the entire nation's mask needs - this includes tooling, raw materials and labor.
