You joke, but LG makes a <3lb (1.36kg) 17” laptop. That’s impressive. (I can’t vouch for its quality, I don’t have one). Samsung makes a 15.6” laptop that weighs 2.6lbs, which is extremely practical. I’m planning on getting one. I wouldn

When did google buy the .youtube TLD? Anyone know how to view a list of corporate TLDs? (Yes I know they’re mostly owned by ICAN anymore and all therefore corporate in some sense).

Awesome-n: auto scan GitHub for awesome- n lists and create awesome- n+1. Although 2 of these in a fight wouldn't be great.

I mean, your point is a good one but those are bad examples. The printing press was made to print bibles in bulk. The internet was made by the DOD and universities, not to transfer large files/images but for small text documents. Solar

Or, I mean, live synced drawing tablets. Why paper? (Unless you like the feeling of writing on paper like me but I bet money they’ll replicate that sooner rather than later).

Yes, it does. In fact, you can configure it to use whatever you want. (I have it also match BUG as another priority)

I think that is more like saying the average height. The ladder question (a common tool for measuring SWB) is this: Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder repres

Subjective well being (SWB) comes to mind but not sure if that fits your definition. There are many other similar measures, like the ladder question. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_well-being

I’m not sure, I’m not a psychologist. I’m only arguing that such a unit could exist (either now or at some point in the future). (If you’re asking about the units for wealth: USD, Euros, etc)

I didn’t say it was a good unit, just that it was one. That being said, I’d argue “2001 dollars” is a unit, not “dollars”. You’ll often see data in econ journals cite something in that type of unit. Another angle on this is that comparing w

Right, ok. So you see more ads, the people publishing content make more money (more ads + better ads --> more valuable eyeballs --> more valuable content), and then the ROI for making content is higher, so people make + publish more o
