I remember going to Disney Epcot Center as a kid and it showed how we would be living on the ocean floor by the year 2000. That is what I consider wild. If you told me as a kid that I will go my whole life without owning a robot and that th

Wages and prices are relative and there is always going to be groups of people at the bottom that are not going to have capital to invest. So what? What is your point? There is no way around this fact. Of course this does not apply to them

Sounds almost exactly like the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, better known as Jonestown. What could possibly go wrong?

I use to rollerblade in the 90s. I never heard of this at the time I couldn't have possibly cared less if I had. IMO the problem is I rollerbladed for 3 years and I never learned to stop properly. I basically had to fall on grass or cr

The article talking about Tether: "don’t be surprised when the Federal Reserve comes to its rescue." This is completely delusional. As if the Fed is going to hold Tether on its balance sheet to stabilize the price in some crisis e

I mean surely they know this was coming? Their marketing was starting to get to me as far as being the privacy company. I was really considering buying my first iphone. They had to know they were throwing all that marketing/effort down

In the US at least though I believe zoning is the issue. Our zoning laws are so bad and it is so hard to add to supply that no one really bothers much. There are all kinds of dislocations in the market because what you should see right now

Greedy? Not me. Always the other guy that is greedy. The irony is there is such high probability with posting on this board you are part of the top 1% of the globe when it comes to wealth.

I am fully vaccinated and will get a booster as soon as offered but even I am so sick of people preaching about this. You do your part individually and that is the best you can do. All you are doing when you post something like this is caus

I am a life long lover of philosophy but the idea of spending $50k+ on a philosophy degree is utterly ridiculous to me. You have your whole life to read, study and think about philosophy. It is easy, it is enjoyable, all the material is rea

In the words of Neil Postman "What problem is this technology trying to solve??" I just don't get it. How much easier do you need it to be than to hand someone an ID card? The trade offs being made here for the ever slightest

Not me. To me, what this article is describing is just poor mental health. On the other hand, I grew up in a nice middle class family but a family that was basically trivial to do better than. Maybe things would be different if I had a chip

I have been going into the office when I could work remote. I don't feel like it is a motivation thing. I was just sick of being home all the time. I think many people on my team are not doing well mental health wise from being at home

I mean really? In 1955 people were worried about a literal nuclear apocalypse. Of course health care was much cheaper when the doctor basically had no health care to give. A medicine man 2000 years ago was even cheaper, practically free.

I also suspect we forget how in the "good ol days" that you would go into a department store and they wouldn't have your size even before the internet and cheap goods. I absolutely remember this with sneakers a few times. Oop

It also went too far though as well. I remember I stopped shopping at Circuit City because you couldn't walk 10 feet without someone asking you if you need help finding something. If you wanted to browse the CDs you would have to tell

Because the people that run banks are morons. It is exactly the same thing. It has nothing to do with productivity. It is a test for membership in a club.

I am an American but I completely resonate with Confucian values when it comes to work and learning. The most insulting thing to me would be to be called lazy. I can see as a society with that many people though this would naturally go too

I would think they will become more productive. I love working hard but working hours have dependency when it comes to being unproductive. That many hours is just hard work signaling or some kind of test of commitment. Working that many hou

I bought a usb adapter with the penguin on it. I don't even know what it is called. That was 5 years ago and I never looked back. I think that adapter is the secret key. Once you have that it doesn't make sense why you wouldn&#x27

I can't agree with that from a personal level. I have used KDE Plasma for a few years now and I really don't care much at all about software freedom. It is ultimately just way better than Windows. Windows 10 is just an embarrassme

Congrats. It looks decent. My biggest knock though is "freeoptionscreener" If you didn't post it here I would never click on something called "freeoptionscreener" . I would just associate it with all the junk/b
