Advertising is fueling that extinction; why else would we consume so much, in such a wasteful way?

The idea of self-driving cars being practical somewhere like Bangalore is laughable.

This is boilerplate new acquisition-speak. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't immediately integrate everything. 1. Buy company 2. Draft press release saying "nothing to see here, folks" 3. Wait a year 4. Company absorbs wh

I'm happy with my current setup. I live about an hour away from a satellite office. I go in once or twice a week by train. It's enough to get me out of the house and keep my face fresh with my coworkers but not so much that it&#x2

On the flipside, the single best thing you can do for your mental health and quality of life is to get more sleep.

Walmart.com has stepped it up recently. Still a long way to go, and I doubt their intentions are any better, but competition is healthy.

If you make your site completely unusable for 30% of people, no matter how many try to use it, they'll end up making up a miniscule portion of your user base, which you'll then use as justification for ignoring them.

Love this quote from the NPR coverage: > She was also on the board of many, many companies — a side effect of the woman's movement, she says. "Companies were scrambling to get a woman on the board," she explained in her or

They can but it's more difficult on a muscle level. You have to change the position of your tongue quite a bit to alter the airflow transitioning from the bilabial plosive to the sibilant, versus "Google" where you can almost

I generally agree with the sentiment, but there's no shortage of adoptive parents for infants. The desperate need is for older children, which is a very different kind of experience.

This is a bit horrifying to me. Babies are quite familiar with their mothers' voices by the time they are born, among other influences; would we also attempt to artificially simulate that sort of pre-birth bonding?

Username does not check out. :-) If you go 60 miles outside a metro area anywhere, pickups start dominating. Southern metro areas have a lot even within the city.

At what point do you consider it acceptable to speak out against something you consider ethically wrong?

That's a good way of putting it. If your goals are too closely aligned with the company's, you risk devaluing yourself for your own or the next company's goals. If your goals are too different from your company's, you ri

You and I must have very different definitions of paradise. No matter how much energy you capture, you can't replicate the multi-billion year process of evolution and growth in biodiversity that has led to the incredible present state

Or: you recognize that you are a disposable commodity, accept that fact, and focus your growth not along dimensions that benefit your company, but strictly in ways that benefit you and your loved ones.

We already have the means to automate pretty much all work and fulfill everyone's basic needs. We choose not to. As for multi planetary, why? Earth is paradise .

This is an interesting take, and one I'm surprised about given the recent increase in required flight time for an ATP (Air Transport Pilot) certificate from 250 hours to 1500 hours. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn&#

The article repeatedly points to Obama's election as a turning point. While I won't argue that his election wasn't consequential, I think the timing is mostly coincidental. 2008-2009 is right around when the internet became m

Yes. It's irritating to me to hear screen time constantly discussed as a monolith. For example, I have no issue with my son playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He gets to poke around and experiment and explore and it has sparked a lot o
