That is like saying "most of our customers use the drive thru, so we will COMPLETELY CLOSE our restaurant to foot traffic". A hybrid approach is best, especially when this article is literally text and some photos.

Potential side-effects directly caused by this are also similarly trending underemployment, opioid addiction, crime, suicide, widening wealth gap all come to mind

Nah, no sarcasm intended. There will still be brick and mortar stores in the future, but it will not be the main method of shopping- online will be. This is especially the case for food. It is not getting cheaper to run a brick and mortar o

In 10 years, Whole Foods will not have retail locations, and its distribution network will have shifted to 100% online orders ;) and, i should add, kroger and supervalu and etc will be struggling dinosaurs like sears

Hahahha! Also roughly the price of just 2 Flying Raptors, which have the distinct honor of being nearly unfliable by even the most skilled pilots.

When the Fed stops dispersing cheap money to banks, who disperse it to publicly traded companies... and when the "regulators" and "prosecutors" and "judges" aren't vacation pals with the Fortune 500 CEOs..

Yup! I am mostly in agreement. What is scary, I'd say, is that we do have many regulations and legal checks and prosecutors and laws and so on and so forth here... ... they just aren't enforced at all on the big dogs who are doing

I would love to, but that doesn't negate my statement that not all corporations are logical and efficient actors in the market place. As a result, too many humans on this earth will have to jump through the stupid and wasteful hoops se

I love how the society we currently live in places so much confidence in the statement that "corporations = efficient, rational market actors"... and yet here we are, slaves to whims of a few thousand people globally who control 3

Oh my god this is such a true statement!!! Unless you want to be curled up on a couch for 5 days and sleepless with your muscles and forehead visibly spasming every 15 seconds, DON'T take any benzos, and DON'T quit them cold turke

Fortunately yes!! Of course it is not millions of dollars a year, but it is enough to replace a desk job income and seems stable. Here's to hoping!!

Growing yes, and profitable yes! I may not have a million or billion dollar market, but I've totally replaced my desk job income with this :) I don't see the niche drying up anytime soon, so I appreciate this advice. I feel like I

No, thank you so much for this advice! It was helpful and much needed. I may not be building a million or billion dollar market, but I figure that if money is the same, I'm glad to be working by my own rules rather than someone else&#x

quality control is hard at scale. i don't understand why it's so hard for people to order from a local shop with an owner they trust? sometimes you reap what you sow

If I'm making a tech product (not SaaS) as a solo founder, no employees, no funding, not in the Bay Area, but making a product that people love, would I be considered a success? I personally love the Startup School lectures and they ha

NSA analysts can only be called "experts in analyzing intelligence" if TSA agents can also be called "experts in analyzing terrorist threats". Because the bar for hiring is pretty much the same lol

There is still a price collected. The question is- "is this price worth the value delivered?" In the case of roads, the answer is usually yes. The value they add is clear (at least until flying everywhereis the new economic norm).

It would be a net good if the people who went to college were changed in such a way that they stopped destroying value and started creating value. That is to say, if college (more often than not) turned criminals into saints, and turned a w

Unlimited ink? How do I ask for a shipment- through a form or a human? What happens when I request to much ink or pens? Do you conveniently forget to place my order? How hard is it to cancel? What does the price tiering look like? When you

Nothing is free in life except sunlight. Colleges employ people and build buildings and have ongoing costs. Taxpayer money would need to be used to pay for this, and that money must have continued value, otherwise no amount of money would a

While I can agree with you that entering waypoints is not quite analogous to software engineering, I think we are arguing over semantics. Especially in 1999 and especially with legacy systems, the word "programming" means "pr

Do you think a typographer can enter coordinates into a system from the late 80s? The pilots themselves can't even enter the coordinates. These planes were programmed by the CIA.

Sweet, let me dig up all the usual tropes I can think of so we can all figure out if this is good or bad. Pro-tariff: - "USA can do what it wants!!!!11" - "China = bad quality! sad!" - "Support American jobs!"

As a foil to your claim that people don't die from bad code: In 1999, when the US was engaging in a bombing campaign in Serbia against "military targets" that were staffed by civilians, the US bombed the Chinese Embassy, kill
