Growing up my mother let us feed our dog whatever leftovers we had after our dinner, which would sometimes be half a steak that one of my siblings didn't finish or a bowl of liver-paté growing stale in the fridge. She'd make up th

The author, Ida Augen is without a doubt one of Denmark's most respectable and intelligent politicians. The article sohuld not be read as an endorsement of that future. It's her prediction of what the world is going to look like,

I really have no clue what apple is thinking with regards to the touchbar. Why should any developer spend time developing sorely lacking features for the touch bar, when they just released the most popular mac without one? The only way I ca

That was my experience with every todo system I have ever implemented. I finally found a todo system which worked for me, namely writing up every todo in a list. On Sundays I distribute the tasks to different days of my next week day. If I

if you spend some money one place, you can't spend that money elsewhere as well. You could argue there's enough money to solve both problems, and a tax on the wealthiest would help accomplish that. that is a view I'm very sym

This was the case for the danish military in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. The people I feel worst for are the soldiers themselves. You're informed over and over about the rules of engagement, and when you get there none of it applies.

not at all the same. I can mate you by having your king in check in a board in the current timeline, while checking your king 6 moves in the past as well. I can abandon a board where I'm losing, by moving the king to another dimension

Most STEM papers are written with latex, this book likely is too.

Free market does not need to be a two way thing to function. If the Chinese have to spend their money on non-US goods, those earning thw profits will be more inclined to spend their money on US goods. Exports is what you pay for your import

For those on macOS this can be set in system preferences -> keyboard -> shortcuts -> mission control. I highly recommend using multiple desktops with dedicated hotkeys over alt+tab to switch between applications. Much much faster t

Oh Common, the point is just that any individual reducing their meat intake, will reduce total meat consumption less than the amount that individual consumed. That's hard to argue against. One counter argument would be that his/he

What exactly do you think is the alternative to giving deworming treatments?

A relative of mine who was rather famous European politician said this to me when I asked him what makes a campaign successful. To succeed in politics you should have ONE central point, otherwise nobody will remember what you stand for. had

I agree that it requires an enormous amount of focus and work. At least for Starcraft, I don't think most pro's are great because of explicitly min/maxing things. Rather they are great because they subconsciously pick up on m

I originally interpreted the title as 'eating locally has a tiny environmental footprint" which is opposite of the point the article is trying to make. I'm not sure what the rules about changing a title is, but the article ma

During the first year of my undergrad someone introduced me to Gödel, Escher, Bach. I thought it was mind blowing at the time and still find it to be an incredible introduction to formal systems, thinking mathematically and understanding th

That does sound awful! Thankfully we use Box and regular office at my workplace, so I have not had to experience that side of Drive. Would it be fair to say Drive is very well suited for small organisations, but has trouble scaling?

I don't really understand this sentiment, here's how my drive looks: https://i.imgur.com/UUUboTd.png does your drive look significantly different from this?

Why would that be incompatible with the map and territory model? > The second also means that the way we experience the world depends on the kind of creatures we are, and not the way the world is. Would it be fair to say we all look at b

Totally agree with your points. Latex remains the best tool for many tasks. But none of the things you described, I think latex does particularly well either. Better than Google docs and the likes, sure, but I think it's possible to do

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times and then some. Already in the 80's Jeff Bezos refused to use latex due to its absurd difficulty to use. I can't believe it's been 40 years and there still isn't a better tool t

Yes, I have reset t2, smc, nvram, even reinstalled the entire operating system. I have the same problem on both 16 inch laptops I've owned (first one was stolen) suggesting it has to do with the software I use. I am unable to identify

Since Catalina I have been getting daily freezes, where the entire operating system locks up. I can still move the cursor around and audio keeps playing as well, but everything else is completely frozen. Once in a while the freeze lasts so

Why should they give something seperate? Their charity is among the most effective. Should Bill be willing to let people die whom their foundation could have saved just to please those who think it's self-serving? B&M Gates recogni

Well the (in my opinion flawed) idea is to remove the incentive for buying that much in the first place. Say what you want, but someone receiving this enormous an amount of social shaming on top of a painful economic loss, sure is going to

If I understand him right he's pointing out freedom of assembly is just as significant a right for Americans as Danish citizens. I would go a step further and argue it is much more significant to American culture than Danish, and I fee

If I may ask, what type of work did the remote teams do? It might be that a lot of disagreement about the viability of WFH is simply due to people having different types of work in mind.

by MperorM 7y ago
Oh yes for sure! I did not mean to suggest WFH is a bad idea under these circumstances. I'm only trying to argue against a common sentiment here on HN, that working from home is more productive. My personal beliefs are that a single WF
