Simple dead hangs are a good start. Lots of people can’t hang for 30 seconds

Manufacturing is brutal at efficiency. Every generation they aggressively cut material use and process energy usage. Look at any device that had a lot of metal years ago. The second part is phones have replaced a lot of people’s “stuff”.

It’s past that point. China would take the lead in three months. Even if they were 95% as good, but 30% of the price, they would win

Agreed. The unbearable smugness of the coastal elites is so pervasive, a person will dismiss “those people” but tie themselves in knots to avoid criticizing even the least the current protected class of the month

Agreed. My daughter with a degree in math from Berkeley served coffee and tutored for a year before being accepted into a math PhD program. Amazing

Just as well. Look at the contracts. Ebooks are draining our libraries of funds. It’s so much better for the library to borrow a physical book

Programming is freer, faster, more shared, and has more corporate sponsorship than ever before. You think it was always this easy to find high quality docs and packages written by others for free?

The estimated innocent population is around 9%. A far cry from the majority. This is just populist trash. Now if you want to make a majority claim about those incarcerated being incarcerated for something which a rich person would go free

Seems reasonable, but maybe not exactly a weapon. It is used to subdue someone, but not as a threat. Should be a parallel class. And while the intended assault is a sexual assault, a date rape drug still incapacitates you, which easily cl

Reform is needed, yes, but this is a stupid comment. By your own argument 75% of SNAP is spent on normal food, mostly by people who need it

GDP is a meaningless measure for all but governments and the very elite. How about some metrics on issue that led to Brexit?

This. Don’t be so sensitive, just say to call you. I took my daughter to appointments and as soon as I started asking meaningful questions, doctors immediately switched to assuming I was the one to talk to. When you act like you know what’

Standard engineering. You fix the thing that breaks the system first. Fix that, the next bug appears. Rinse, repeat. You don’t think we have been doing this already? Car safety improved, general violence, death by food poisoning, etc.

This it how it used to me. We had a War Department. Rebranding to Defense was a PR move to hide what was really happening. This is a good thing as it’s far more truthful.

You’re kidding? You want millions of people to apply something that gets absorbed into the skin without testing it for side effects?

It didn’t ruin his life. Having an unstable childhood due to a mentally ill mother and later developing paranoid schizophrenia and a drug addiction (common with schizophrenia) is what ruined his life.

Except they didn’t. A proper municipality decision would have been discussed publicly with advance notice. This is like the board of directors of Toyota deciding to stop selling to the US without advance notice without input from the shar

No doubt you mean well. In some cases it’s obvious- low memory machine can’t handle some docket setup, etc. In reality, you can’t even predict time to project completion accurately. Rarely is a fast computer a “time saver”. Either it’s a

You can do both, in that you can have a system where if you make less than X, you don’t pay VAT on certain things, or less. California is now doing this for electric car rebates. Only works for items pinned to a person. This can easily be

Food control is easy but we don’t actually want it. 1. Prohibit large companies from using their size to negotiate prices, like how it used to be 2. Stop farm subsidies for all but the most critical areas. If you want to make food availa
