I've always hated trucks for all of these reasons. Thanks for doing the science to help me explain why, NYT.

I agree that that behavior is not acceptable. We wrestle between moral drift and frozen tyrant as an expression of the Value Alignment Problem. We do not currently know the answer to this problem, but I trust the scientific nature of change

I don't know but In Portland there's a ton of them, the venues are great, and in the summer we go do it in the forest. And now that the RA app has it's shit together, I no longer have to get on Instagram to find out about stu

Great book. Great game. I treasured the time I spent reading it and playing it. Head's up: the game does not follow the same characters as the book. It's sort of a different story that's taking place at the same time and very

They don't work, and it's a poverty of the imagination to have no clue of or understand the value of supportive, preventative, or rehabilitative policies.

No, it's real. It's commenting on the article by John, on old coworker of mine. I applied for Ignite but was not accepted and ended up getting into SE a different way. Anyway, I recommend reading the post by John and then reading

So much this. I've noticed it and talked about it for years. Glad someone wrote about it. I definitely think the "dress and act your age" thing was a big factor and I'm so glad that went out the window. Not so that peopl

There is an underrated approach to solving problems - assume at the outset that the solution is simple and obvious. If it is, you've just saved massive amounts of time and effort. If it isn't, then at least the rest of your deduct

Isn't that just called a depression? Do words mean anything anymore? "The worst thing ever" pops up in headlines all the time and the world still chugs right along. Maybe I'm desensitized.

The amount of time it would take to edit these to remove the subtle AI nonsense/artifacts/dysmorphia is a fraction of that time it would take to make the images from scratch. There will still be art departments but they will be 10

Yeah, I've heard about a classist element in Europe that might make the path I took unlikely. I dropped out of college, toiled in the service industry for 10 years, got sick of it, went to code school, got a tech job and 6 years later

I find this perspective interesting. I'm 36, have no kids, don't go to church, don't live anywhere near where I grew up or my biological family, and haven't been in school for a very long time but have no shortage of fri

It's reasonable to expect 17 million relatively well off people to make some concessions when hundreds of millions of others have asked them to through the diplomacy of their elected officials. They should do it because elected officia

I decided to read the comments on the linked article and got depressed. It's a similar feeling to what Ethan Hawke portrayed in First Reformed. Caring about nature is a lonely and foreboding state of being.

This has some interesting ideas but is too opinionated. I usually finish a book before starting a new one and usually only read one at a time. There are exceptions but none of it speaks to how much I love reading.

Everything about banking is devoid of aesthetic. Banks don't care how things look. My nearest BoA has fake plants and dinged-up furniture. This is the kind of culture that would put up with horrendously bad UI/UX until it bit them

They were about to. I'm pretty sure they were using the drone to get ahead of that problem. Seems like it happened to fast.

Get your key knowledge holders to dedicate 20 percent of their time to documenting what they know. However, most of them are so used to knowing stuff that they aren't sure where to start or what the need is, specifically. Therefore, ma
