The The Alcántara Bridge is very striking. Something about its simplicity is awe inspiring. It's almost 2000 years old and still absolutely amazing. I wonder what things built today will be around in 2000 years.

Reddit has an odd strategy. I have Apollo on my phone, which is a great Reddit app that doesn’t have ads. Sometimes, I go to Reddit in Safari out of habit. The experience is so terrible, that it forces me to go from the website, which has a

I mean that if you only want to watch the talks from the comfort of your home without conversation, then why attend a synchronous meetup? Why not watch YouTube instead?

Can’t you accomplish the same thing asynchronously via YouTube?

People assume the economy will grow forever because they don't want the future to look like feudal Europe where economic stagnation led to a millennium of toil and suffering.

Maybe? As an experienced engineer, you should be able to use your experience to estimate the latency. Very few things are truly novel.

I don’t think the AAP recommends footie pajamas to prevent SIDS. What you say may or may not happen, but your point would be a lot more poignant if you used a real example rather than contrived nonsense. If the issue you're talking abo

Even if sperm count doesn't impact overall male fertility, the fact that sperm count is declining potentially indicates some type of endocrine disruption. Also, your comment kind of glosses over the fact that though-to-be cause hormona

Women are more likely to give birth to children with birth defects after 35. Not sure about how the father's age impacts the child. E.g. https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/downsyndrome/data.ht...

Gradual inflation isn’t bad, but heavy inflation is. People’s savings get wiped out. High inflation can undo a lifetimes worth of work in a few short months / years.

I've always wondered about this. It seems like it would be quite common that someone would throw away a Li-ion battery. In garbage trucks that compact garbage (all of them?), it would be easy to damage the battery and cause a fire. On

The amount of gas spent idling is quite low. A compact sedan uses around 0.16 gallons per hour. Intuitively, this makes sense. The work required to accelerate a car is much higher than the work required to move the engine through its cycles

Sorry, I don't understand. I-Bonds are almost guaranteed to hold their value so shorting doesn't make sense. Maybe you don't know what short-selling is, but it's when you take a position that the price of an asset will g

I-Bonds are a small cash gift from the government in times of high inflation.

I-Bonds are not a high-quality instrument. They are a small gift from the government. Each person is only allowed to buy $10k. That's hardly enough to qualify as an investment vehicle.

This will work for now, but device manufacturers are working towards building out mesh networks. You may not have connected your TV to the internet, but your neighbor did, and your TV can piggy back on your neighbors connection.

Maybe. A lot of people use mobile Safari. If anything, this could be a good incentive for Apple to actually fix the numerous issues plaguing Safari.

For me, and many people I see, the root cause is that sugar is addictive. You eat some sugar, and then you want to eat more later. That's basically all there is to it (for me).

> Rescinding offers. Terrible, how could they not forsee a massive backlash? While it is sad that offers are rescinded, the company is struggling. Sometimes, hard choices need to be made.
