I live in a wood framed 5+1. Its great being in renewable wood building - but the downside is its a huge fire risk. Plus because of this the sprinkler system is vast - and keeps flooding apartments.

I think college is a good thing, but right now I think its 70% of kids go to college which is a complete waste of time and money for most of them.

There is a particular American culture twist to this though as Americans are conditioned to be over-confident and project knowledge even if they know little. An American asking a Brit "Do you know XYZ?" The foreigner will reply &q

Having driven both an Altima and a Model 3 extensively (i.e. thousands of miles), I couldn't disagree more. The vibe of these cars is night and day different. You said the ALtima and Model 3 is different, but which one is better?

Teslas are ugly and boring. The model S might have been status symbol a few years back but they're now the modern Honda.

> Does anybody use all of the new power of these incredible devices? My problem is they are too good. If they were duller, harder to use, jerky video, crashing games etc I wouldn't be so addicted.

I hate myself, 5 years ago I gave up dotnet to move to Java because it was more popular now I'm drowning in Spring beans and wish I never switched.

aha thanks, maybe I remember it from there.

I'm sure Joel Spolsky wrote about absurdities of having factories for everything, I can't find it though.

I feel the same way but wonder if I'm right when the majority of jobs are JS and Python.

Does anyone know about this drug? The generic pill is $10, not sure why the suppository would be $10k. I'm guessing some journalist found some drug that few people use. https://www.goodrx.com/indocin?dosage=50mg&for

Possibly, but it used to be frowned upon for people to switch jobs after a year - it was a bad thing to have on your resume. People joined a grad program with the understanding that they'd hang around after they were trained. Now that

I work for a big corp that hires lots of grads and it really isn't working out. The first year they take a lot more work than they produce, but start to get useful. People used to stay for 2-4 years so it was worth it for the company,

That's the core of the problem though right, sacrifice something today to help reduce the greenhouse problem in the future.

Its the same for people with home solar panels. They dont pay for most of their electricity so they aren't contributing much for the grid or generators, but then they expect to be able to use power on a cold dark night and the infrastr

Honestly I think this is good and inevitable part of living with renewable energy. Renewable really is different - there are times of the day and days of the year when electricity is scarce and expensive, other windy sunny days when its vir

Yeah I dont know why super rich would ever want to live in NZ. It has a very egalitarian outlook. No one will talk to you and all the locals will just want to burn down your house.

I think most people have seen the app server crash and burn while the data is nice and safe in the DB. Seems sketchy to merge them. But some some usage it would be simpler.

> Just as modern architects can source the best-in-class parts from around the world to customize a home for its occupants (windows from Italy! toilets from Japan!), Good analogy. This stuff doesn't apply to 99% of us.

This is just fluff. Financial services and banks are not the same thing. The biggest problem with banks in the US is no free accounts, we need banks with physical branches to offer accounts for poor people to have. There is no money in this

Looks like a lot of potential to build an API right in the database. Just wish the syntax was a bit more modern. Would be nice to have an easy way to just make it a rest server.
