"Free" means different things to different people. For instance, a free phone that records everything you do (not just phone calls) and posts the recordings to soyouwanttobeastar.com might appeal to some and horrify others. If thi

The dinner is not necessarily buying support. It is buying access. The lobbyist can drown out my voice because I don't get the same access to my supposed representative. Welcome to a republic. Do you have an idea to improve on this?

The wisdom of the founding fathers of the U.S. impresses me. They didn't all agree on solutions and they didn't all agree on what was a problem. But together they chewed through a lot of tangly weeds. Many people think the foundat

Terrorism works to... what? Sell xray machines? Decrease tourism? Convince Lithuanians to quit interfering in Kentucky? Fund the security industrial complex? The point can be easy to miss.

I interpret "works" to mean that it accomplishes its goal. For instance, if somebody threatens to break your storefront windows unless you pay protection money, so you pay the money, then the threat worked. We used to use a differ

No, it is not a thing except in the mind of a confused ill-informed customer. There is only so much Apple or anyone else can do to protect their users. If somebody sends you instructions on how to convert your life savings to Bitcoin and pu

It's a scam text message. But your grandma can't tell the difference. It just illustrates that Apple is not a silver bullet. In the end, there is no substitute for education.

My employer standardized to iPhones. Recently I have been getting notifications that my Netflix account has been suspended. It greatly irritates me that Apple is sharing profile information with Netflix. I have never used Netflix on my iPho

I remember a day when WordPerfect employed thousands of local college students to staff top-notch help lines. They had what at the time was state-of-the-art phone queue management and tried very hard to minimize your wait time. If you neede

Or working for Azure, apparently, or Cloudflare, or Amazon, or ... This doesn't change the argument about scarcity in general, but it isn't true that the few jobs that are out there are only in crypto.

Or, the commander thinks that in an age of drones and cruise missles, bayonet charges don't make sense even if the bayonet is now attached to a machine gun.

If Figma had sold to, say... Autodesk for $15B would that be an anti-trust issue for you? What if they sold to Google? I'm pretty wary of monopoly abuse. But I'm also very wary of entitled people (including myself sometimes) deman

Perhaps you misunderstand that Figma was motivated to create value. A large part of the motivation for many startups is an exit plan wherein they get bought out by established competitors. If you prevent such purchases, you eliminate a majo

The USA uses metric all over the place. Everybody knows how big 2L is. Syringes are all marked in mL or cc. Socket wrenches come with 1/2, 9/16, 5/8 etc. but also 9, 10, 11. Athletes no longer run 100-yard dash. The "400

Ah, shucks. Let's not argue. You're both right. Can we embrace great points on both sides without strong diageement?

There are plenty of good ones, but you probably fail to recognize the best ones. In fact, the very question suggests that you have a limited world view. You will reject what I say because it doesn't fit into your narrow view. That&#x27

I am ok with candidates asking questions. And I am ok with managers filtering out people who ask questions. From both perspectives, mission accomplished.

Please let's explore this a little. How do you feel about a person that builds a house with their own hands and then rents it out for the next 50 years? I personally am ok with that. What if they rent it out to the same tenant for 50 y

I sympathize a lot with the moms you characterize as "wanting to make an easy buck." How do you put in 8 hours a day as an accountant or hair stylist or fire fighter or HR rep between morning snack, potty training, reading time, n
