- Corporations shouldn't be allowed to own residential properties. Period.
- This feels like low-key shade thrown at OpenAI. IBM is essentially a technological recycling bin at this point.
- There is so much truth in this unironic headline.
- I came here to say something like this.
Programming has evolved several times since the early 90s (when I got in this business) and I had the impression it had already evolved several times by the 90s (especially talking with old mainframe or COBOL programmers).
It's evolving again now, and that process is painful. Nobody knows what the future holds.
- It also has its own problems that haven't even been quantified yet.
If you think that homeschooling is a panacea, I guess we're all about to f*ck around and find out...
- "It sort of makes sense that villains would employ villanelles."
Just picture me dead-eye slow clapping you here...
- He launched the "lean" movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Blank
So of course he's excited about this.

- Filing a DMCA takedown on something that was originally published by the author is entrapment.
- A DMCA takedown is inappropriate, as no copyright was circumvented. It was freely distributed (albeit briefly) on Apple's own website. A DMCA takedown at this point is entrapment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment.
- "its big jerk trading partner" = USA?
It's not clear from that sentence who you mean, so I was clarifying.
- This article made me miss the original UK Top Gear trio. What great writing. Thank you for this.
- The Apple UX teams need to do this on a regular basis.
- If this is a genuine question, my only answer would be "It's because this is poorly run capitalism" (aka "crony capitalism")
- And it would be a big bet for AMD. They don't create and manufacture chips 'just in time' -- it takes man hours and MONEY to spin up a fab, not to mention marketing dollars.
- I'm just here to say that I'm still bitter about Google Reader. :-(
- This also happens to be the illustrator for the art in the Wikipedia article of the parent story.
- I just realized this too. Gosh this brings a much darker and courageous meaning to their organization.
- Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from having to follow it.
I'm sure ICE would be the first to point this out in court -- so it's kind of ironic having to point this out here.
Thank goodness for the ACLU, Amnesty International, Democracy Forward, various state AG offices, and the American Bar Association.
- This simply isn't true.
Democrats still broadly align themselves with labor (the many people getting the stuff done)
Republicans still broadly align themselves with rich CEOs (the few people profiting off the backs of the labor).
It has been this way for at least 40 years.
Labor vs. Trade ≠ Tariffs vs. Free Trade — Democrats’ historic opposition to trade deals like NAFTA and the TPP was about protecting workers from job outsourcing and race-to-the-bottom standards. That’s not the same thing as imposing blanket tariffs as a blunt weapon in foreign policy. Conflating the two is lazy at best, dishonest at worst.
Obama’s 2009 tire tariffs were a narrow safeguard against China dumping, consistent with WTO rules, and widely viewed as a targeted response to an actual violation. That’s worlds apart from sweeping, across-the-board tariffs used as political theater.
And if it’s all “realpolitik” like you say, then your whole point collapses: by your logic, both parties shift based on circumstance — so stop pretending there’s some tidy ideological flip when the reality is far messier.
"How would home builders build model homes?" - This is a great point. I should have said "after the home is built"
"How would Trusts manage real estate" - for residential real-estate, they wouldn't. An individual would. But I just want to point out that I never said that corporations shouldn't own real estate. I said they shouldn't own residential real estate.
It's only as complex an nuanced as we make it. For most of history, individual people owned real estate. Only recently did we manage to screw that up. We can unscrew it.
