  1. How hard an ecommerce site today? on Amazon Is Kicking All Unauthorized Apple Refurbishers Off the Site (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How hard is it to do an ecommerce site today? What, does it take minutes to set up? And, is it really worth giving Amazon 30% of gross? Set up a website, and ignore Amazon. We do that, and we do just fine.

    I agree with you 100%. I'm actively trying to move from the US to Europe primarily for this reason.

  3. Public transportation does save time on Has the Love Affair With Driving Gotten Stuck in Traffic? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sadly, as good as public transport can be for a lot of reasons, it's not much fun either and in many cases won't save you any time.

    I can't do anything else while I'm driving. I can do all sorts of stuff (work, relax, etc.) while on public transit.

    I've been over driving for years. I commute about an hour each way, wasting 2 hours of my life each day, or 2/16 of my woke life. I'm actively trying to move to a place where I don't have to waste hours sitting in a car every day.

    So, where's the "very first place" you go for education?

  6. Become an educator on Ask Slashdot: How To Fix an Outdated College Tech Curriculum? · · Score: 0

    Creating curriculum isn't something than can be (should be) done by just anybody. It is done by an educated educator, who knows how to create curricula. If you really want to change it, you should go to school to get a degree in education, then get a job at this institution, in this particular department, and then write a curriculum for the classes that you're assigned to.

    Why not have one in each major city? People love everything related to Amazon. Heck, Amazon doesn't have to even turn a profit. They can just collect subsidies, if they want to. Yay, "free market".

  8. Re:Stick with cars on GM Is Getting Into the Electric Bike Business (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I know they're doing a few electric cars here and there. They're not particular serious about it, as far as I can tell. 25% by 2030 is much too slow, in my opinion. They need to get on it.

    Sometimes you have to be a prick to someone for them to get it.

    No, you don't. If you're too dull to figure out how to communicate effectively without being an asshole, then that's YOUR problem.

  13. Re:This article is missing the point on Have We Really Wiped Out 60 Percent of Animals? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I could be wrong but I don't think we really know what the effect of such a rapid reduction in such a short period of time is.

    Every mass extinction is different, of course. The species alive today are very different than the species alive before the other 5 major mass extinctions. It's a pretty safe guess, though, that mass extinctions make life unpleasant for the species that are dying off, and probably also quite unpleasant for the species that are able to survive through such an event. Whether humans survive this mass extinction is anybody's guess, but I think it's safe to say that things will be quite unpleasant for humans in the relatively near future.

    It's nice to know if they are talking ABOUT you.

    If you're that worried about what strangers are saying about you, you might want to see a psychologist. That doesn't seem, to me, like a healthy state of mind.

    It's only limiting your opportunities if you're economic opportunities only involved people who only speak English. If you're working with people who speak another language, you'd be limiting your economic opportunities by speaking English.

    Why is that?

    Good. It's about time stupid Americans learn some more languages. I was incredibly embarrassed the first time I went to Europe,and all I knew was English and I was only semi-fluent in Spanish. I'm working on improving my own grasp of other languages now, but I wish I had more opportunities in school to learn more languages, and I wish its importance was stressed more.

    Life sucks for poor people in the US. It's really bad. If I were poor, I'd be doing anything I could to get to Canada or Europe and be able to live with some fucking dignity and not always having to worry about how to pay for my healthcare. Jesus, the poor in the US are fucked in so many ways, they don't even know it. The cable bill, I'm sure, doesn't even come close to most peoples' worries.

  25. Sad trend - phone addiction? on Restaurants Shrink as Food Delivery Apps Get More Popular (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I live in two cities. One is wealthy. One in poor. In the wealthy city, people love to go out to eat. In the poor city, nobody goes out to eat.

    It's really sad to see so many empty restaurants in this big city, and delivery people just taking out styrofoam boxes all night. It's sad. These people generally don't leave their houses. Walking around is unheard of (it's a very walkable big city). I don't where or if most people in this city socialize very much at all. I imagine they work all day, then come home and want to keep staring at a little screen all night because they're addicted, like most of their friends and family.

    In the rich city, people like going out to eat. It's fun. You get to eat good food. You get to talk to friends and family. I'm kind of thinking that people in poor areas just don't do that anymore. The screen addiction is kind of insane there.
