It does make sense. The antecedents of World War I can be traced back to the demise of Charlemagne and how he chose to split his empire among his three sons. Obviously there are many proximate causes that contributed to…
A lot of that technology relies of aerosols which would exacerbate the ocean acidification process. Get engineering is really hard to get right
It's easy to blame the people who can't afford to pay their bills but it misses the point. First, someone who misses their car payment shouldn't find themselves in physical danger. Having your car shut down while it is…
Amtrak could make a killing with a service that sent you via high speed rail and sent your car via regular rail either before or after you departed.
I'd encourage people to read the article rather than focusing on the headline. The author makes a lot of way more interesting points than the title would indicate. I tend to agree with the article -- Slack is going to…
I too used to be in ad tech and I agree. It's a race to the bottom with no real upside. The business model is often broken with ad tech companies. Rather than sacrificing profits for long-term growth, they're…
First of all, the US didn't win the Second World War -- a coalition of the US, Britain, France, China, and, especially, Russia did. Secondly, the US's biggest contribution to the war was manufacturing capacity. Period.…
Yeah I've tried a lot of these and every time I find that I'm not actually doing anything productive, but just linking pieces of text together. They seem like the ultimate busywork tools.
Why do you genuinely believe the Rift is DOA? They is, objectively, a huge amount of hype around it today. When we're talking ethics, why is Facebook more objectionable than HTC or Samsung or Microsoft? They all have…
One of the more accurate descriptions of America that I've seen. It's truly a country of contradictions.
Seems interesting and reminds me a lot of the Nextbit Robin - a kickstarted android phone that can offload less-used data and apps to the cloud.
It seems far more logical at this point that the Oak Island sinkhole is a result of natural phenomena and rumors / myths. I'm highly skeptical that there is anything at the bottom of the pit.
Besides the creepiness, the law around recording people without them knowing (one-party consent) is state-by-state
Completely agree with the article. The TSA is expensive, ineffective, and unreliable. Moreover, between immigration and the TSA people actively avoid flying through the United States if they can help it.
Am I the only one that has less confidence that Magic Leap will actually ship anything after reading about their CEO? The way they talk about him makes it sound like he has a million ideas all the time and isn't…
In Boston at least I've had a far better experience with Lyft than Uber. I know the driver pool is very similar so it's probably the result of a small sample size on my part, but Lyft drivers have just been better,…
I agree. I stopped checking Facebook in December. I'm happier and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. All my real friends know how to get in touch with me and do. Everyone else was never really a friend…
100% agreed. I've worked for companies where A/B testing is so consuming that nobody see that they're shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. Like ANY other tool, A/B tests have their place, but the incremental gains…
Same story in Boston, except that most of my friends still take Uber. I've had far better experiences riding with Lyft drivers and the drivers seem to enjoy working with Lyft a lot more. Uber is my backup option now if…
