> I think too many billionaires benefit from big government for the billionaires who benefit from small government to dismantle. America's system of checks and balances in action.

That's what I do. It also slows my roll. It's an extra step I have to take before making that large purchase or applying for anything that requires a credit check.

The value of web analytics for our organization lies in the same realm as the value of Plausible over any third party analytics: The Funnel. We're a membership driven organization, and by "membership" I mean we rely on donati

Yeah I think your question gets much closer to the point. And the answer probably also applies to lawyers. Their work is valuable enough that people pay for it, even if it does look really stupid.

And yet why is somebody paid so much to run back and forth with a ball?
726.
by troyvit 2y ago
That makes sense. If I'm already saying I need a motor to get myself up the trail I'm pretty far from worrying about shaving weight off my bike (or off of myself for that matter).

I think it's arguable that it's political persecution of the opposition when they are literally breaking into the White House and stabbing its guards with flags, but you do you. No what I mean is, why is it that Democrats, those o

Just to pile on, but Republicans used to be called the "Law and Order" party too. Where has that gone?

It took me like 12 days to read the whole article, so, this comment is super late but someday maybe you'll run across it. All I want to say is that's a great idea. Back when email started entering wide use I was flummoxed as to wh

But if it has looked wonderful -- like really wonderful -- for the last twelve years that also says something. I would've argued that Adobe was stealing from its future ten years ago when they started started using this model and I wou

Man I want to believe it's short sighted, but Adobe's stock price in 2012 was $30.95. It's at $518 today[1], outperforming SPY. What drives me crazy is that there are plenty of Adobe alternatives that are pretty good, but the

That's a good point. You can escape vaping questionable hemp products a lot easier than you can avoid being a walking, talking heavy metal filter for the local coal plant.

Maybe some aspects, but I don't know about the VPN side of it, and my point was directly to the idea of managing shared drives.

Sorry about that, you're right that it was kinda low. This is from a previous comment. It's still not the nicest way to put it, but it gets the point across. - Does reading The Baffler trap you in its ecosystem? If you cancel The

Taking a step back though, where has hyper-growth gotten us as an industry and as a society? What if, instead, start-ups throttled their growth to keep a sustainable level of support so that the growth fuels the support instead of just fuel

Good point. Whenever I think about how much I'm poisoning myself with plastics or breathing exhaust or whatever I remind myself what I did last Friday night and it's like ... yeah this pales in comparison.

Reading the article (which isn't that good) it seems that Lignin's goal isn't compostability but rather oil independence. On Lignin's site they say: "RENOL® is proven to be very stable during recycling, keeping its
