Buy less stuff but nicer stuff. And fixing them instead of throwing them away if they’re broken. If you can’t fix it you never owned it.

Re:Learning to program is getting harder
on Friday February 16, 2018 @07:54PM (#16398093)
As many others, I also disagree. Back in the day, laptops are more expensive and less capable. Now you can program everywhere with laptop and wifi. More importantly, sites like SO makes learning to program so much easier than before. Back then, if you don’t know somebody you might be stuck with some silly issues for a long time. Not to mention Windows had frequent blue screen of death.

Ultimately, yes, but just like the workers who tried to destroy machines that took their jobs during the first industrial revolution, truckers will need a bit time to adjust to the driverless world

Re:China’s High-Speed Train Map Puts U.S. Transportation to Shame
on Tuesday January 23, 2018 @10:44AM (#16214417)
I see your point. However, many things work in small countries like Switzerland where the population is more homogeneous and highly educated wouldn't work in large countries like the US with a more diverse population. Moreover, the tax rate is also quite different. Public transit like trains require tax money. However, car buying is more individual's decision. Unfortunately, raising taxes is quite unpopular in the US.

Not a fair comparison. Train is more suited for China since car ownership per capita is lower. Between cars and planes in the US, it’s hard for trains to compete. High car ownership rates in China would be bad for the environment given the large population. So, nice cars in the US, nice trains in China
