Some thoughts from my experience: 1) You mention your shoulders being outstretched and flexed when you work, that's a good place to start. When I work at a desk, I try to maintain a posture that keeps my arms parallel with my body unti

I love the sentiment, but seriously... who did you think you were building this for? It's absurd to believe you were helping anything other than the big brother character from 1984. Who else would this help? Foreign secret services? Ma

So first off, I love buses as a means of transportation and in any situation where biking would be unsafe, I would err on the side of caution and use a bus like you suggest so you know, no judgement here, I think that's cool. And yeah,

Yeah, this is why I didn't want to try to make it out to be political despite calling out Republicans, as I do think the false dichotomy of Republican vs Democrat is an attempt to make politics something that the average American [inse

Yeah, I'm definitely not saying people should be flying or driving as much as they do (the time-convenience or price of air travel may cause people who wouldn't otherwise travel to go for it - I've definitely hopped a plane b

I don't want to make this political as I'm unaffiliated with any political party, but I notice a trend and have a theory. When Republicans are shaping policy, they tend to target air travel. The article states that the system gets

Unless companies like Tesla stop worrying about being the next "Great American Industry" and start focusing on real world problems and their solutions. If Tesla could develop a network of self driving buses, that would have far gr

Spoken like someone who's never experienced the inanity of the US's criminal justice system. Many of the laws on the books are there due to lobbying, not logic, reason or need. Some are based on moral outrage to propaganda, some a

I think a lot of this comes from the general movement of America towards a police state. I have heard several stories of people having the cops called on them for allowing their children to play unsupervised. Some places consider it neglect

I would say that there's no benefit to disclosing it to your employer based on your explanation. Patents are for protecting the inventor while time and money is invested in seeing an invention through to market. If your employer is the

This person has obviously never ridden an e-bike. E-scooters are decidedly dorky. They can't corner well at high speeds. They carry almost no angular momentum to keep you moving forward. The only cool thing about a scooter is that you

Have you tried Zoho mail? It's not the same as rolling your own, but it's decentralized from Google's servers. Not just that but you can register domain specific addresses (like Google Apps) for free. It's my standard fo

Pretty sure the PR is a play to politicize his move and paint SV as a brick wall of intolerant liberalism and give the "conservatives" more fuel for their fire just like his speech at the RNC. Still have no idea why he's tryi

Big rigs and repurposed cargo containers don't make sense as a comparison. All production costs of cargo containers are a sunk and they don't generate any waste on their own. Vehicles do. It's not just impractical - it's

I'm not sure if you mean in general or with regard to my original comment, but in general I think supporting a guy who personally claimed to have molested women and who was in the middle of several fraud lawsuits to run the country is

Sure it is in the way Thiel did it. It was absurd for him to go on national television to make statements with 0 impact. Trump didn't win most places in the country Thiel might want to live. Trump lost on the entire west coast, Colorad

No. Trump is creating and repeating his own rhetoric. The mass media corporations aren't making him tweet constantly about the "Dems". Your statements about the media aren't wrong but that doesn't mean that Trump is

Likening people to Thiel is ridiculous. He is personally facing the backlash from openly supporting Trump and being a speaker at his rallies. Nobody else in the valley did anything as absurd or unnecessary. And if he thinks he'll fair

Why use a big rig? Why not an RV? Or a van conversion on something like a Sprinter? The entire premise you're proposing seems very wasteful and morally irresponsible if you care about stuff like global warming and believe in physics, b

So I'm late to the party but I'd say this doesn't really apply to this or similar controversial situations that CM30 solution aims to fix. On budgetary matters, sure. You want to combine efforts to get legislation through tha

I don't blame the people of the town for being upset; "Whatever, USA" is a pretty offensive name as it completely negates the people, the culture and the history of the town. For instance, if someone called NYC "Whatever
