So they're making lots of dollars off of crap on Amazon. Most cheap labor has been outsourced from China by now and they didn't turn the trick: building a self sufficient growth engine while they had the fuel.

China peaked about two years ago. Today sharp left policy shifts are signaling a quick erosion of their economic integrity, which will turn out to have been very brief between the prosperity brought on by what's mentioned in the article and the coming collapse due to a lack of fundamentals built into the society.

They're just trying to help with your washing machine collection.

They don't know what they know. My 20 year old account regularly gets suggestions for women's clothing, which I have never purchased and don't wear, as I'm a man.

"First an ask...." Nope, backed right outta there.

Yep, this is over when we say it's over.

The nearest star is about 4 light years. So outside of the solar system, that should be "near." This thing is 3 million times that far.

Thank God, the current versions are just so thick, I can barely hold it. I really hope they can remove some more stuff and make it thinner.

Apparently 12 million light-years is near Earth.

I know it's lame to comment on the single stupid thing in an article, but this is absurd.

Biggest disaster ever because a cheese maker can't export to countries that already have thriving cheese industries.

Stopped watching in the first episode when it became clear the "mom knows best, dad's a dummy" trope was going to be a thing.

I wonder if Zuck really thinks he can just will an infinitely complex network that by definition requires buy-in from everyone into existence. At least Tim Sweeney is starting with a video game and people are playing it.

Not sure why this is news, there are many churches on the east coast that are older.

Try bamboo. Can be soaked, it's great.

I don't see landlords in New York forking out for induction ovens. Tenants will be lucky to get three working burners on a 1987 Daihatsu range.

Yep. Practically everyone in New York has gas, and it is so wonderful. When I left I had to get used to electric again, it's like an easy bake oven.

To thermal.

The challenging thing about any kind of organizational self analysis is that the problem is usually people, who have either bad skills, insights or habits, and you can't get rid of them.

So in a pre mortem, how can you say, "Well, we know Jim can't remember what we agreed to, and will get aggressive unless we placate him."

Why is this a download and not a page to view?

They've already been tricked, and they donate every Sunday. They may as well also donate to what's really going on in the sky.

Radical islamic terrorism was going on way before 2001.

Yes and when the fire alarm goes off every family crushes into that tiny space and tries to get down one staircase. Not to mention countless other bad situations. There's qualitative reasons not to maximize this. Build up one more floor, problem solved.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about. Those things are important negative space. What would you get, one more apartment per floor? Let's not crawl over each other like ants.

A staircase takes up about the plan size of one bedroom. If that's too much, you're probably trying to cram too many people into a building.

There's efficiency, and then there's, "more people live in this city than can all fit on the sidewalks." Maybe just don't.

Facebook is LinkedIn for families. Basically useless, mostly performative, but worth checking once a month just for connections.

I have started using Yandex for image search, it has all the features Google removed to keep from getting getting sued. Excellent results and great tools.

Photopea is a perfect replacement for Photoshop, it's a shame you can't just buy it, he started a subscription model too. I don't want to pay a sub and I don't want ads.

Unfortunately you can't purchase a copy of Photoshop on any platform. You can only buy a subscription, and what's more starting Photoshop starts 5 or 6 other programs that slow down your system and does who knows what. Fuck Adobe, just another company that doesn't care about users.

They've been making some hard left turns lately that could very well drain the gas tank from the bottom. Or usher in a utopia, although it seems very unlikely. I guess we'll see!

Amazon should have set it to force five star reviews as soon as the book was released. It's not even the most dishonest review crap they pull. They're not above it, so this was just failure of imagination.
