Yes, supply of immigrants will increase because of climate change, but I think it's important to understand the current structure of age distributions in the world. The US had a pretty large Millenial generation. Most other countrie

In the not too distant future, competition for immigration is going to be tough. I wonder if the US has the political atmosphere to offer competitive packages to win over the immigrants we'll need.

As a woodworker, i've noticed 90% of time is easily spent on setting the tools up. Jigs help save time because they let you spend less time setting up tools. Economy of scales are gained when you can get more products out of the same

This is off topic a bit since the article was really talking about something tangently different, and it's probably a really unpopular thing to say, but it's been in my mind for a while. If you look at the worlds population growt

That price is insane. Is Tesla a car company or a software company? This has to be where their profit is coming from.

With the political realignment, I guess it's not surprising that some politicians are trying to bring back the glory days again with New Deal ideas. Most people can probably agree the 40 hour workweek is an outdated idea. But a 32 ho

Intel tries and fails to get into so many markets that aren't high end server and desktop CPU's, and they are rarely successful. Now they have a chance to still get a piece of the action.

It's a love/hate relationship. I hate the closed nature of Apple, but it's a superior build quality. This laptop looks like it offers both.

Super disapointed. Just a few weeeks ago I bought a macbook pro with an M1 from Apple, it's kind of the default choice at the moment. I love the concept of this laptop so much though. If it was available when I was making my choice,

It is true, a newspaper is curated. But it's not curated to me. My entire digital life is curated to me, so being able to dip my foot into literally anything else is a new experience.

Our feeds are already heavily curated. I recently subscribed to the WSJ, and got paper delivery of the weekend editionfor free. At first, I clicked the option because I use a charcoal grill and I'm paperless to the point I struggled

Options are probably the most common mechanism for a person to leverage themselves. An out-of-the-money option will yield far more than simply buying a single share. That said, it's a lot more risky.

I disagree entirely. Markets are more effecient when these high information actors are allowed to interact with it. That said, it should be far more transparent.

Is there an ETF where I can invest in the same things politicians are investing in?

I have this irrational reaction to any apache managed project to instantly reject it. I've just been burned so many times by software that isn't ready for prime time.

Disinformation, and propaganda are just specific types of protected free speech. I disagree with socialism, but communist propaganda is protected speech which should be allowed. Disinformation can be dangerous too, I understand that. But

Why do we not allow telephone companies to censor our conversations? Why can't the power company choose not provide power to offices for political campaigns they disagree with? We afford monopolies certain privileges, but we also requ

Hosting stuff that hosts content some people find "problematic" has its own additional layers of difficulty. Amazon is completely willing to dump you if they disagree with you.

I think what we need is a users bill or rights. There should be certain rules a company just can't decide to make, and there should be certain rights afforded to every user. Without that we're just choosing between which monarchy

Also an Arch user, I've saved countless hours running it. I tried Ubuntu, Fedora, and Suse. Arch has given me the least amount of problems.

Allowing trusted sellers to be hijacked is not greedy behavior. Keeping 3rd sellers happy will result in less returns, happier resellers, and greater platform usage. The root cause here is organizational failure from disempowered employees

If it helps, I used to be motivated out of sheer wanting to get that thing that was in my head out, and see it working. That might be enough for a youtube video or a product demo with some executives at the company. Heck you can turn that

I actually love Fusion 360. My prior experience was autocad about 20 years ago when I was in high school, and more recently, Sketchup. The cloud stuff though is crazy annoying. But I also don't pay anything for the tool, so :\ That
