This has been my thought as well for some time now, but a lot of the most strident voices for "control it all costs" seem to be coming from the young (at least online), maybe it's different in real life?

This is funny because I have found this to be the exact opposite. Utah, Florida, Texas has better infrastructure than California, New York, Massachusetts. Are some low-tax states shitholes? Yes, but there are definitely low-taxation states

Yep, google, is a dumpster fire, DDG is my main search engine on mobile and I have not missed it. However, it's still far from optimal. We need a user-driven search engine! No more of this bullshit centralized searcher and censure, we

Did the Inca genetically engineer llamas? Clearly they were around before the Inca, just like they are still around, even after the Inca.

Exactly, I was expecting an Apple-like experience so I was very disappointed in that sense. The hardware was great (for me at least), but the UX was just too annoying that it soured the overall experience. I wish now that Apple would build

You’re gonna have to give a source for that, that sounds like complete doomer bullshit, I’ve been following this since early January and the only reports of permanent lung scarring are being mostly attributed to the need for mechanical in

This has been obvious to me for years. Also because the most affordable dynamic places always have a combination of PHIMBY and YIMBY. YIMBY was started by libertarian market urbanists. I agree govt intervention limiting land use rights is t

Pimsleur is what you want and you can get it free form your library. You can play the audio tracks from your phone if you burn the CDs. It could well be a native app, and I wish it was, but there must not be a lot of tech product vision at

Is there a Stack Exchange site for medical professionals? If not, why not?

Yes! That's all I want back! Reddit is a great source but some of the best discussion happens on forums that you have no idea about.

What I want is a decentralized Reddit not under the control of advertising needs. Reddit redesign has been bad for quality content. I actually find Reddit to be a better source of information and knowledge than Google at this point, mostly

You know most of the world has much more lax zoning and land use laws than the USA right? Somehow they manage to have nice neighborhoods with nice neighbors. There's also nothing wrong with gated communities and in fact that would be v

Java and its ecosystem is great. It helps our teams easily solve business problems. And at the end of the day, what matters is business needs, I'm really tired of all these purists trashing a great framework.

If you're not using iPhones, I think so. Apple is the only one adding features worth upgrading for, maybe not every year, but definitely at least every other year.

Or maybe they should just start paying dividends.

When it comes to consumer electronics I have come to the conclusion it makes more sense to pay more for the best available now (an iPhone) and holding for longer, rather than try to pinch pennies by buying yesteryear's technology. It&#
