Farming. Live on a small farm and WFH. Too often I don't even leave the house and even in better work/balance times I seem to get an hour or 2 a day in the shed/paddocks maximum. When/if I get to FIRE I'll be farm f

Didn't they do this in Germany? Where emails couldn't send push notifications after hours. Anyone know how that worked? In my experience it's fine to stop push notifications for email/chat messages after hours and "

By taxing charity? Wouldn't most genuine charities be a dollar in and a dollar out type situation, and any unused income/funds that year should be fairly minimal. The large endowment funds that have billions like Harvard ($50bn) p

I suspect we'd see a bunch of change. A difference of when we moved 6 to 5 days is in those times most business were closed on the weekends + generally people were more tied to one company for longer term. Plus 2 days off is very diffe

This one seemed; 1) Spot small business product that has potential. 2) Remake & update as your own version 3) Build a large distribution network 4) Blow any other competing company away with court cases. On that, something I changed my

Even if not videos, most people have a bunch of photos in the public, or widely available. Even if the person themself doesn't share, other people around them will. It would take a very insular life to have no photos of yourself in pub

Just some well meaning feedback. Opening with the line "Umm where have you been the last decade?" feels like throwing insults, and not conducive to a positive enviroment to learn from one another. You probably didnt mean it that w

The world is both great and fucked up. Right now it is likely the best its been for the most people ever. And not by a small way. And yes, for so many its also horrible right now. Made more depressing cause we see so much via the internet w

Could this be because Harvard is increasingly desirable & hard to get into? From this, the average standard of students + their dedication to their work/GPA may well have steadily grown too. From a quick google, the acceptance rate

Or could it be a bluff. Act like they don't want it, so some players feel they can use more advanced post-quantum algorithms and be secure, while NSA is decrypting it.

I like the idea of this but wonder if a better system would be record gets wiped after 7 clear years. So if someone is committing crimes every 3 or 4 years, the previous records show to reflect ongoing behaviour type, but if you have 7 &#x2

1) Swapping to discuss 4G, is not 5G. It does have better coverage but will increasingly limit people as bandwidth requirements ever increase. 2) Vietnam/California are quite densely populated compared to the majority of the world so e

As someone living in the wild (actually rural), people out here have businesses and we were in dire need of broadband to run them, plus the usual lifestyle benifits. It's not all sitting around enjoying natures view. As for 5G it has a

Generally they are rewarded with seniority and better pay. Or better offers as management move to other companies and want to bring high performers with them.

I'm curious how the sentencing goes, not only for SBF but those around him that took deals. In my limited view of US cases, it often seems prosecutors let off lightly anyone that will testify in return for their whale. Sometimes feels

I'm not 100% on this cyclical thing. Some reasons; 1) A well know component of capitalism is capital concentrates. When that 300 store pharmacy does get run inefficiently, local guy doesn't replace the pharmacy, some other PE goes

I've thought about this a bit. This concentration shift seems good for the economy in the short term but a massive loss for society as business increasingly becomes a chains or centralised. Especially in areas that are traditionally ow

My thinking with mass market is: 1) To make the business viable and profitable. I searched a bit more and saw a post where the founder said they do expect to be profitable with 50,000 users. That still seems a tight budget if people are pay

For mass market I feel 'free' will always win. With that in mind I wonder if Kagi would be worth having ads for a free version but be super clear what the ads are based on. E.g purely based on 1) search KW and 2) IP location of t

True for you, but there are billions of people out there and your attitude is a tiny minority for what they would lose elsewhere.

The silver lining is maybe we can return to the days of browser wars. Chrome came out of nowhere to win this and it seemed to dial down in prominance. Would be great to see more attention being brought to the independent browsers: Firefox,

Ive been across a bunch of rebranding and it seems far more often a vanity project by a manager, than a performance focused decision. Also there is almost always a heavey focus on visual elements vs content and other strategy as for most pe
