Love your mom’s work. Wow.

This is how higher education was done for literal centuries before moving to the written word. So it’s not exactly innovative to return to oral arguments. But what it does threaten to do is effectively abandon all the efficiencies of the wr

So, the fact that you went to a medical center just not the specific doctors office? This seems weak.

Isn’t this just an attempt to build a two pizza team (across the company)? Or the whole “parking lot” philosophy that built Patagonia. Don’t know if it will work with this weird arbitrary cap, because 15 is fine for some things and way too

This should be made illegal as soon as possible. This is clearly and obviously the shortest possible path to a total surveillance society.

Cool. Hope they enjoy having one less customer.

Can we just get an option to turn it off? This is an insanely dumb workaround.

So, is rasping a subset of hacking now? Goodness.

This is woefully inadequate as a remedy. The dollar amount is minuscule and the remedy time limited. Seems like they just got a license to continue business as usual.

Ok. Someone explain to me why they would f themselves this hard with software engineers when they are absolutely winning. This just seems like a bad move. Is it infrastructure? Are they unable to control costs? Everyone else is spending lik

I do very much dislike that the concerns of the domesticated bee are brushed aside in this piece, as they are quite legitimate. It, of course, is trying to espouse that we protect the solitary and other wild bees, and I agree with them abou

We bought and tried their products several times only to find they were no different than a basic veggie burger or whatever. We couldn’t figure out what the hype was even about. And then I started reading about how their ingredient list was

The majority of humanity is not meaningfully engaged even if they are active on social media platforms. It has a long way to go.

That’s the kind of righteous sarcasm you can build a community on. Take my upvote.

Wonder if we should coordinate doing it simultaneously in like 10,000 cities and towns?

I know this is only a partial answer, but I feel like Google is once again trying to build a product based on internal priorities, existing business protectionism, and internal business goals, rather than building a product that is listenin

It’s not rocket science. Porsche discontinued the gas Macan in the EU, leaving the new all electric Macan as the primary option. That’s the top seller. So… you end up with more electric than gas — because you don’t sell it.

Absolutely. Ours are 10 years old, and the bearings wore out (well they were squeaking!) on the drum. It took 20 minutes and a ratchet set to repair — couldn’t be easier. It’s the best appliance we have ever owned. Can’t speak more highly o

Indeed. I think that’s an astute assessment. I listen to a massive variety of perspectives, and as a NATO member I think what they have to say is worth hearing at least. Thanks for your comment — appreciate it.

I’m learning about the “era of the nations” thinking from Hungary’s Balázs Orbán, via an episode of a podcast called the Winston Marshall show. YouTube just randomly suggested it to me. I just rebuild a speed queen dryer that broke with spa

This is a case study in the failure of product market fit. There is tons of room for a low cost, high quality small electric or hybrid pickup in today’s market. Ford Maverick sales have been exceptionally strong, setting records in 2025 wit

Truly, it’s a miracle for manufacturing. I wish people would understand what a profound waste burning it actually is.

Yea, precisely. Same reason for the 51st state Canada comments. You can look at all the reporting that’s been done, much of which is repetitious, but the smoking gun is here: https://www.bsee.gov/newsroom/latest-news&#x

Isn’t that mixing up library size with market power? Consumers are going to pay for this consolidation through higher subscription prices because the cost always goes somewhere. What you’re seeing now is the same consolidation and ad loadin

I feel like you’re citing the primary source material for the vast majority of us. Like, “let me find the thing that original taught me how to think about radiation pools. Ah yes, this xkcd. Yep, here’s the manual.”

I always wondered if the south by southwest conference was an homage to this movie somehow. Great finds.

Imagine if Google, which presents itself as a supporter of open source, had clear support policies so that when it ended support for a product, the open source community could take over. Think about how much e-waste that could prevent and h

Oh dear, am I the only one who remembers the marauders map? I saw a bunch like you were talking about, but the Harry Potter version was exceptional.

I’ve been listening to the audiobooks of the expanse via our local library. Absolutely fantastic series — you are spot on! Also, remember to support your local library.

That’s not the standard I’ve always had, and I’ve been here from the early days. You get the community we settle for.
