In the case of Ford, the problem was there was too much overlap between the Fusion and Taurus... as well as too much overlap between the Fiesta and Focus.

This. Exactly THIS.

I just so happened to be hanging out with my buddies the night Part 2 aired. Mind you this was a group of 20 year old dudes who couldn’t get through a Star Wars movie. By “that” final shot they were fucking hooked. Obsessed. I had to buy the DVD sets of season 1 and the first half of season 2 so they could catch up…

Coalfire is a well-established security company and it’s exceedingly doubtful they would conduct any assessment without a clearly defined and mutually agreed upon scope which details in writing what is actually being tested and what methods can be used. As long as these activities were considered in-scope under the…

This is a pretty bad take for a few reasons- first and foremost it doesn’t seem like Brian Kahn read the piece very closely. In response to quoting Franzen as accepting the climate disaster is inevitable, Kahn responds that, “[i]n fact, accepting that disaster is coming is the exact reason to try to cut emissions.”

Kah…

I know you’re just kidding.

The process of mining IS the processing of transactions. Solving the block adds the transactions to the ledger which is what makes them official. A central tenet of cryptocurrency is that everything is inter-dependent. In some ways the value of bitcoin is tied to energy and oil because that is what provides most of…

Again with the judging! We used to take a weekly trip to McDonald's because there was a ball pit inside, and we could have a Royale with cheese in peace for an hour while the kid amused himself. That doesn't mean we endorsed McDonald's or any of its baggage. It just meant getting the hell out of the house on a Friday…

like many sodium products, MSG might affect the old blood pressure, but the rest of the MSG hating is really for no reason. Glutamates are good for you and the ability to tastes them exists, because of an evolutionary advantage to consuming them. Fresh meat and fish contain more glutamates which account for part of…

if you had ACTUAL morals, you wouldn’t have children. Human beings are a parasitic bioweapon that is destroying the earth. We are not the cure. We are the disease.

Came here knowing someone would cry out about the ONLY social injustice in this world, Chick Fil A. Was not disappointed.

I thought you guys were talking about chicken sandwiches... Wtf are you talking about.. Morals? Politics? It's a chicken sandwich bros. Just eat it. Christ.. Smh.. 

Handling most live stock is more complicated than people think. I don’t really have any experience with sheep and not much with goats. But I do know we use both for fire control and other forestry stuff in the US. Apparently it only takes a season or two to train someone up for basic duties. Its usually done in teams,…

We used to say that “every time you make something idiot proof, they make a better idiot.”

Similar to planning and war: no code can gracefully survive first contact with the users.

Opposing oil pipelines makes sense. They’re dangerous and potentially destroy environments when breaches cause serious oil spills in frequently untouched environments.

I think the problem is that they’re not doing it to maximize profits, they’re doing it because the only way profits exist at all is to exploit someone. There’s no way that doordash actually makes a profit charging $10/month for unlimited deliveries.

wow that’s amazing. This guy truly saw the future.

There is nothing wrong with paying for a ride, or paying for someone to deliver your food, or paying someone to clean your apartment. There is nothing wrong with getting paid to drive people around, getting paid to deliver food, or getting paid to clean apartments.

This passage really stood out to me when I first read it as a kid nearly 25 years ago. The more time passes, the more prescient it seems to become.
