Kiwi fuzz irritates my throat, so I rub a lot of the fuz off, and then use a straight bladed knife to "shave" the rest off. The skin gives a tart contrast to the fruit center. I'm sure there's lots of valuable nutrients

I dont think the laws will keep up. But I think the insurance rates will make it a no brainer. just to illustrate the idea, not saying these are the exact numbers: 1. $1000 a month to drive yourself and still risk liability 2. $50 a month t

My hypothesis of why autocars will make life so much better than we're imagining, which I think a lot of negative/hater folks miss includes: (All of this is very USA centric because that's my context) - Very old people who lo

Another wonderful usecase of safety, when the elderly get too old to drive themselves an autocar may improve the quality of life of later years. I sure hope it's around by the time I'm too old to drive.

I noticed this around homebrew install style key words. People blindly copy and paste a shel script that is given sudo on a fresh install. Seems pretty ideal setup for bad guys.

I think, pragmatically, we have to accept that death is the outcome for us all, and trending towards fewer avoidable deaths and longer fuller lives is approximately the aim. Nonetheless deaths from a technology is inevitable. I believe what

I can't help but think we need a more extensive "Flight Data Recorder" sort of object for, at least, self-driving cars if not all of them. Event Data Recorder's are coming and mandated for 2021+ but I think they need to

Their point, presumably, was that we shouldnt be anti-tech but we have to compare the statistics.

I think they're separate things -- Penalized for not matching with what you say you want to match with. Charged $ for not appearing for a date you had already agreed to.

The current P/E ratio in the S&P 500 is about 30, which is historically quite high. Another way to read that is this -- Currently if you can create $1 of recurring profit and turn the flow into a stock, you will get compensated abo

in an ideal society labor's share would be near 0 because nearly 0 labor would be done. (eg machines do almost all the work ever done) While many (in America, at least) have been focused on keeping and giving jobs, ultimately what we m

Based on my own usage patterns i'd get really roughly that number before they fell apart. The trader joes "burlap" style bag I like would get me about 1 trip a week for about 3 years. It is, notably, plastic lined though.

I disagree on this. It's not the wealth that is the issue, it's the corruption that allows wealth to be converted into power. Citizens united is so backwards that it actually encodes the corruption as a right.

Github definitely extended git to a far less technical audience than basic git came from. Emailing patches or connecting to others' remote hosts to pull changes was too much complexity for many customers. Pull requests, CI platform,

1. America needs to repeal citizens united, it's the source of many angles of corruption 2. I think it will happen much sooner than 2245 given how easily capital and the rich are able to move around the globe in 2026 (compared to 1945)

It's a mess, much like tip culture[1], because it just real equalized like this: 1. Merchant sells for price X 2. Credit card is invented 3. Merchant has to sell for price > X (say, 1.02 X) to cover some buyers using CC 4. Credit c
