If you think my numbers are made up, take the effort to refute them. Are you saying 9/10 people who buy a car are buying it because they got in an accident? There were 13.7 million new cars sold in 2022. I doubt you'll find 13.7 t

I have to agree, at least to a point. Nine times out of ten a person buying a car doesn't need it right away. Therefore if they don't like the mark-up they can just come back later when the market changes. If everybody did that th

My partner got a grant to find this out.[1] It turns out that by building networks of producers who share their experiments as they try to find best practices for their specific place, time, and crops for regenrative ag actually helps them

If you take that all the sightings and videos of UAPs have a grain of truth to them, I would say that calling an entity coming from "another dimension" is no weirder than saying an entity came from outside our solar system given h

I'd also add that even though asbestos is awful and dangerous, it is a) still everywhere and b) still being made and imported into the US [1]. I guess my point being that even if PFAS are as terrible as asbestos that's not enough

To answer your question, no. Hashicorp switching to a BSL isn't any more disruptive than if they went out of business. My personal concern is that it's much easier for a company to change its licensing than it is for that company

Wouldn't it be great if they tailored the questions to software engineers? Q. You find yourself at a party, but you forgot your pants. Do you: a. Pretend that you have pants and hope nobody notices. b. Accept that this is a dream and j

That's an easy bet to make from your comfy trailer with cheap gas, electricity, and big screen TV. As you say the majority of people in the world don't have reliable access to those luxuries and would want nothing more but to claw

I hear you about the profiles and multi-account containers. The containers are bundled now I think, but I never got them to work correctly. Once I started using a container it tended to want to put everything in it. It just wasn't user

So if we all eat the top 10% of rich Americans would we fart out 40% of earth's methane? The answer is "No" because this article is talking mainly about the investing patterns of the top 10% of Americans, and those investment

Man this fact just points so heavily to a natural part of human nature. If we're given more than we need, but are threatened to lose some or all of it if we don't use it, we'll find ways to use it whether we need it or not. S

It worked well when I used it. It was bought by Microsoft and is suffering the usual degradation that comes with that, but it's still a good app.

I agree with you to a point, but man there are ways that Comcast and Verizon just can't compete with Municipal. If I want to upgrade a modem I can read some reviews of the best Wifi6 routers or whatnot, or I can ping the guy I know who

Yeah that was Longmont, CO's big expense. We had a fiber ring around town since '96 or something, used for traffic light management I guess? It took about three years to get the fiber to most peoples' doorsteps.[1] It's

I disagree. To me the piece is about enshittification as Doctorow defined it. It's not just a UX change that the author doesn't like but rather a UX change designed to gain short-term profits for its investors at the expense of it

These limp attempts to limit demand are exactly what people naturally do, and so is ignoring them. Some environmentalists might say that our power is unchecked because we've killed our last predators and destroyed all the other checks

Analogies are useful, even when they're not serious. Yeah I didn't mine that strip mining one too much. This one's fun because it targets complexity and power, both of which have shot through the roof since the early days.

The last time I had resumes to look at it was a few years ago, pre-gpt. We had pretty a specific hard requirement (elixir experience), and easily 95% of the resumes had no mention of it. So I don't know if I'd blame artificial int

Exactly. Just because a guy who's gigantic paycheck depends on hollowing out small towns says small towns should change, doesn't mean that they need to change the way wants them to. After reading (most of) the article it's a

That doesn't seem to be the purpose of this plugin. In fact, if there is an institutionalized, blind hatred of the rich then this plugin would decrease the amount of hate in the world, since people would be seeing less of what they hat

I disagree that Brave is the browser to bet on but also wonder why you're being downvoted. Mozilla is selling ad tiles, Brave is trying a different model. All these players need to diversify their income streams if they can hope to com
