+1 makes me ponder about Knoll's law and whether I am actually misinforming myself by reading comments here on HN.

While many technologies provided by the smartphone were indeed not novel the cumulative effect of having a constant access to them and their subsequent normalization is nothing short of revolutionary. For instance, I remember the time when

Imo it can improve one's overall well being without improving productivity or making boring stuff less boring. Still helps with the "stuck in a rut" feeling if one is content with average productivity.

Atlas of cell types. It's the standard terminology in the field by now. Spatial transcriptomics is also feasible now but at the expense of losing single-cell resolution.

Automated fines for driving on bus lanes was already done at scale in Moscow more than 10 years ago. I assume there's no budget to do this immediately in Seattle? In any case I guess one could try to organize and write to the police &#

I would work almost exclusively from the office in this scenario and even keep my work belongings there (if possible). It's much easier for some to have a complete separation of work and home spaces. Also a change of scenery in the mor

Well, cartoon-ish violence is equally boring to my taste (if that's the alternative)...

Not really I think. I think people eat more than they need because 1) it's a form of self soothing 2) habits and choice of food. I for one gain weight pretty easily when I start eating carbs such as pasta and bread without restraint -

I think there are probably some persistent differences between the superachievers and the normals but I am very skeptical in the ability of the former to teach (and of the latter to learn from the former).

Surprising for me. Can you maybe share some links?

It's a post-factum rationalization of personal experience possibly mixed with some anecdata. Fine as a motivational material but that's all this is.

Not doing something is actually neutral because it can happen for healthy reasons as well as not so healthy ones. Labelling someone as "lazy" implies that not doing stuff is wrong and is a moral failure of sorts.

So true... I enjoy coding on weekends for work-related projects just because I feel no self-pressure of being productive. I don't do it often but the feeling is there.

It's actually quite simple for me. I typically don't get any satisfaction from starting and completing tasks I am avoiding. Crossing them off doesn't excite me - not in the least - regardless of all the motivational and time-

While I love your enthusiasm for bossa nova there are probably better ways to share it with the others. Your argument is circular and starts with a dubious assumption. Thanks for the links though!

Probably... Haven't witnessed or heard of any pedestrian/car accidents in my home town to facilitate such a change. On the other hand, biking would be definitely less pleasurable and more dangerous for smaller kids now. Even as ad
