There are maybe 2 months out of the year that you can't grow lettuce in NYC in a greenhouse. It's not that cold. Tomatoes prove your point better, but I still would never eat any of the tomatoes in an NYC supermarket in the winter

Well, one reason is the one described in TFA —- credit card rewards amount to a regressive wealth transfer, and if you think that is bad, you may not want to participate in it. Another reason is that credit card companies sell your purchase

This has driven me so crazy it’s about to push me off Google maps. If I’m driving upstate, I want to choose a nice straightforward highway route and stay on it. No, I don’t care if I need to sit in a little bit of traffic. No, Google, I don

I didn't see the appeal of bespoke PR stacking tools when it was the headline feature of Graphite, and I still don't see it now. Stacking PRs is useful, but I haven't encountered issues with the ergonomics of just using norma

> On one hand I want to stay YIMBY here As far as I'm aware, the YIMBY "movement", or whatever you want to call it, is pretty squarely about housing development. It's not about saying yes to building anything and ev

Wow, I could not disagree with this more. What’s valuable about a novel is the social relationships it fosters, both in relation to the author, and also all the others that have read it. I read a book to better understand what other people

As a fellow arts graduate, I strongly agree. I’ve seen many friends and colleagues fall into catastrophic student loan debt as they tried to find some direction in life, helpfully exploited by universities along the way. It’s borderline pre

The issue IMO is precisely that taxpayers don’t pay, they give out loans. Yes, sometimes those loans are “forgiven”, but only after decades of struggle and distress. And I put forgiven in scare quotes because often the original balance ha

Should car insurance be included in the price of a car? You have the freedom to purchase insurance from whoever.

Well, some of those examples are instances of not being able to prioritize a good thing. That can be due to an unethical decision, but can also be due to needing to prioritize other things, possibly better things. The unethical part of the

A requirement to obtain renter’s insurance is not an example of the type of fees this legislation is targeting.
