Louisville checking in, spent a lot of time in Georgetown and can confirm this is likely just more work on the Camry plant. Toyota has been good to the area. Off topic, but is there a popular tech meetup in the state? Moved back a year and

I swapped to https://www.thelightphone.com/ as my phone. According to my iPhone, my daily usage hovered around 7 hours. It's relatively expensive and a little janky but it's insane how much more time I feel I have

You don't need to wonder. Look to Japan for the broad strokes: property in cities will still have value while rural areas fall into decay. In more words: young people will crowd into cities in order to meet other young people and find

The lawnmower has arrived, adjust behavior accordingly. You can't reason with it, it only knows: "cut grass"!

+1, yup With measured change in C02 the past 60 years[0], how can we expect the system to behave the same? In my lifetime I will breathe air with C02 levels of 480ppm. Throw in the high sea temperatures [1][2] if you would like some bonus c

I've recently switched to a dumb phone. Why keep an internet browsing device in my pocket if the internet's largest players are designing services that will turn a lot of its output into noise? I don't know if I'll stick

With respect to communication innovation, I think AI Hitler put it best: " we can't rewind we've gone too far. " Here's a link to the relevant historical record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Gji

Thank you for the explanation. I'm also an Apple fan and would not leave the App Store easily, however I am unhappy that I am forever unable to do so. I think rulings against these companies are warranted, but I want an end game where

Like I've been saying. We're not incentivizing the stewardship of open platforms. Apple will die before they open their garden. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37731541#37732596 I don't want to be pithy

Sounds like Google is getting punished for being a more open ecosystem than Apple. I'm sure if this leads to any action, Apple will feel like opening up further. /s

I'm not a member of your imagined urban-illuminati (I live in suburban ky) and I think you're off base here. The majority of cars on our roads are huge and it's annoying. Forget emissions, waiting for some dork to 14 point pa

It’ll rise when there are more employers competing for the workers. Until then they don’t have to try so hard to find people, students can see the bad salaries ahead of time yet they study for a decade for these roles regardless.

I think you have it backwards since prices really haven’t moved enough to counter the rate hikes. Monthly payments are still up 50-75% depending on the home and area compared to Q1 2022 while prices are mostly flat. This means that homes ar

Is South Korea Marxist too? How about Japan? What about the state of New York? Something else is happening. Some blame chemicals or the economy. Before you say they just want to hook up now, younger generations are having less sex than ever

That’s why they did it. If too many people cut down usage thru solar then everyone else has to pay more per kWh of usage. The usage is a big cost for any utility provider, but another huge part is keeping everything maintained and connected

The gov subsidizing rentee's housing payments to existing landlords en masse is the landlords' wet dreams. Not only do they get to capture the income of the rentee's, but also their tax dollars! The fundamental bargaining pos

He’s incredibly smart and on the whole on the right track. He gets too excited sometimes, like when I saw him give a lecture and seriously say we’d have 9-10% inflation YoY last year and just as much this year IIRC. I recommend his book to
