Also, a large portion of crops go on to feed animals. There’s no way in hell they’re not aligned. Meat production is inextricably linked to agriculture.

It’s like using a low-bandwidth hdmi cable on a 4K tv. People may not notice that their device isn’t charging well but as long as it’s charging they may not complain. Doesn’t mean the situation is anywhere close to ideal.

Not necessarily. Jackson is a typical blue city in a red state. Even before all the gerrymandering, a single city won’t have enough political power at the state level. Given the political differences, state officials can withhold funding or

Android was a choice. Not the obvious one. Seriously how many Android manufacturers are really successful? Samsung? Google? Pretty much everyone else is completely interchangeable in the crowd of low cost devices. LG, HTC, Sony …etc have al

TikTok nailed that. It’s well established now but back when it was still growing and sort of small, creators who were on both Instagram and TikTok praised TikTok for how easy it was to break in (with good content and not merely follower cou

I was hoping there’d be a conversation here about the price increase but so far every comment is about Kagi in general without ever reading the actual blog. They also list a $5 a month plan. What’s not clear is when they’re launching this a

Yeah, considering the scale, Costco is doing a wonderful job. Plus, their generous return and price adjustment policies, it’s a no brainer to just buy Costco.

Part of the reason for that - especially in tech - is we keep hiring people utterly unsuited to manage others. Pretty much every manager I've had is a software engineer in the past. But, only one manager was a true manager who helped m

Because they were supposed to "optimise" the routes and enable true ride & cost sharing? It did look like that for a while with their lowest tier.

I was able to reproduce it in incognito. I’m guessing it works only on devices I have signed on before? Someone they have a way to fingerprint me? Irrespective of it, this whole dumbing down security for UX is unacceptable. It’s not even go

I think $10k/yr is fairly reasonable even for startups. However, a lot of these trolls go after small businesses, don’t they?

I've had some good experience hiring contractors. It all depends on what the goal is. If the goal is high quality work there are shops for that and if the goal is for a big enterprise to manage costs and de-risk themselves by hiring co

I wanted a yellow in the used car I was looking for. It was incredibly hard to find and because the color was rare, you have to compromise on everything else. I believe the resale goes up but it takes longer to sell.

I remember as a kid, in India, solar, gobar/bio gas and alternative ways of cooking and heating were all the rage. Then liquified petroleum gas became cheaper and everything just died. Here’s[1] an example of what I’m talking about. It

Bad policies combined with unchecked growth and inefficient water use is my understanding (John Oliver had a good segment on it). When farmers feel the need to grow alfalfa just to make sure they'll keep their share of water rights - i

Name is the biggest marker of all. Last name can give away the case pretty accurately. There are certain parts of India that don't use the traditional family name but even in that case, certain first names are more common among certain

It’s also because a good chunk of people also lie to get something fixed under warranty. Didn’t the other weak the article that rose to the front page talk in detail about the various frauds? I wish Apple wasn’t like this and spent time inv

I really doubt it's the "shaming" that's making them not act on it[1]. Like all companies they are profit driven and won't recall until it becomes financially untenable for them. [1] https://thebrakerepor

You can still listen to audiobooks and walk your dog, do gardening or laundry or whatever else you want. All of which are more relaxing to me than driving in traffic - and that’s after the fact that I have a car I actually like driving.

It's the usual way people react to their favorite partition talking points. There's a good amount of research that suggests that people saved their stimulus money. Not everyone spent and not everyone gambled it. https:/&#x2F

I wear gloves when I ride my bicycle. Unlocking it is necessary to access certain functions that you can invoke with Siri. Even without Siri, most gloves these days are designed to work with capacitive touch.

I understand it's going to hard but not impossible. Assessors can work together at the state level and identify owners with multiple properties and send them the extra tax bill or a way to dispute it. They have enough information about

Even if this is provable, why not have a progressive property tax rate? Owner occupied properties can be charged half the rate of rented properties. Rather than increase it for everyone and making it harder on the very people who are likel

It doesn’t have to be “politically” correct to simply not call your critics idiots. Long long before PC was a term, it was never acceptable to use this kinda language in a business/work context. Not to mention the utter disrespect in
