I do not need a cause others find noble. I will make my own. And I do not need anyone evaluating if my life is worth extending. What I need is more quality time with the people I love.

Good lord. Why not hash things out with Mathias forceably and directly right then and there? Why this victim pantomime? Mathew is a grown men, surely he can find more direct ways to stand up for himself instead of obliquely trying to cancel

Most of all your kids are likely to have IQ's close to the median of you and your wife. This is likely the most important factor of all as heart-breaking and unfair as this is.

Your dismissal and snark on the parent is unwarranted. There is quality scientifical evidence that supports there is something to what Hof is doing. A quick google will show that.

Fair enough, I am sure there are even worse ways to waste money, but that isn't a great reason to waste some of it in this particular way.

Are you willing to pay for their living expenses will they go through their existential crisis? I would be willing to do this for my kids, maybe, but not someone else's.

Hard workers should be praised. It is hard and it works. It is the only lever we actually have some control over to move forward in life. On the other hand there is nothing admirable about taking it easy. Anyone can do it and it does not le

I don't know. I understand what you are saying, but if there was just one Linux desktop it would almost certainly have to be tailored to the lowest common denominator user and it would end up just being a less polished MacOC version. T

They also do not have the technology, the software capabilities or the charging network. In fact all they have is PR right now. Their EV offering is at 5 to 8 years behind Tesla and and they are moving slower in R&D.

No, its Tesla if Tesla could have seen the future and copied its playbook from itself. Rivian is emulating the Tesla strategy to a remarkable degree, which might make them a bit smarter than every other car company but does not make them a

You are right, the article is not bad just because it came from the NYT. There are still the occasional useful piece, though Always and only on safe or inconsequential matters. But the bad far outweighs any good. At any rate, irony is pre

The problem is that they get it wrong, all the time, and always in the same direction. I think the solution is complex and includes at least 3 things: 1)treat it as a public health problem, that is have campaigns, just like we did for cigar

I think the reviewers are mostly low on the tech totem pole young people, as ignorant of history or anything outside of their neighborhoods as they are certain about their virtue. You know, as young people have always been. That they get to

I don't think the analogy holds. A mom and pop shop should be given more latitude on who they serve than a communication platform monopoly.

In my state I was advised to call Pharmacies at the end of they day to see if they had extra doses that would otherwise spoil. Perhaps you could try the same if you are concerned about how long the authorities are taking?

Great. Now programming languages are also political tools. We should do the same in science. Every scientist should learn every language of every other scientist so everybody can write their papers in the language of the culture they identi

How about all the other people who did not get covid but also stayed home? Shouldn't they all be complaining about fatigue and brain fog? Come on.

Elon Musk's Neuralink. The monkey demo is absolutely insane. The possibilities and the speed with which Neuralink progressed is breath-taking. This could be bigger than any of the other miracles Musk has performed.

Good. I have lived in 3 continents and 4 different countries and I have yet to see a union that is not run by and for the lazy and incompetent, ultimately to the ruin of all involved. I hear Germany cracked the code on that one, but in the

You mean I will not be protected from oppression by the self-sacrificing activist heroes in tech? The same heroes that so righteously punish the thinkers of bad thoughts and so gallantly protect everybody else from the violence of wrong ide

I agree with the article in that the Apple hardware is superior. The best laptops available for Linux are the Dell XPSs and they are not in the same league as the Mac (I have both). However, for developers, especially system software develo

I don't think you have this right. The problem is not paying for developer tools, the problem is investing your time in proprietary solutions that might go away any time. For a long and resilient career developers have to stick to tool

Policeman, fireman, soldiers, all get killed doing what they do. Your average journalist, trolling for outrage porn on Twitter is not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence. The fact that Substack is a threat to "journalism" an

Well, yes, I agree the rant is not constructive, but its at least pointing out a problem that does not seem to be universally seen as such and I like to think there is some use in that.

I don't know yet. Perhaps a bitcoin backed reputation market for pundits. Maybe independent, direct to market writers. Maybe a 4th branch of government. We need to try new things.
