OK, now this makes me feel weird. I just realized that I must have no idea what a suburb is. I've only lived in Canadian cities, and I've spent extensive time living in Shenzhen and was stuck in Busan for almost a year due to COVI

At this point, I think I'd be more satisfied with doing all my printing and scanning at a print shop if I don't have an employer that has a printer and scanner available for me. More peace of mind, less anger.

With the way currency is managed in Turkey over the last few years, I imagine the incentive for such behaviour will increase, rather than decrease.

Decentralizing technology has a history of enabling the disenfranchised to get what they couldn't get before. This could enable that. Admittedly, technology also has a history of enabling tyranny. But that doesn't make it untrue t

I think this is overly getting into semantics now. But if we must, when I was a child, cleaning the floor was a pain. As an adult, not cleaning the floor creates the pain, having a clean floor is great, and the act of cleaning itself is jus

zone.com? I would play Warcraft 2 multiplayer on there. Warcraft 2 had no natural Internet-based multiplayer, zone.com made it easy.

So nobody in the world has good centralised sorting. That's our reality. So what does that imply then as to people not wanting to deal with the pain of presorting? You say that it's the proper thing to do in that reality. I'm

Again, I'm not sure of that. They feel that it's the proper thing to do, so I'm not sure they view it as painful. I hate to say it, but it feels like a disparity of maturity. Some kids do their chores because they're res

It's not necessarily a pain for the users. It's a cultural thing. If you can change the culture, it's easy to do it with humans at the source. I'm in South Korea now and they sort all the garbage before even throwing it

Perhaps a better way to say it would be it's not necessarily easy, but it's doable and necessary.

I'm not sure how my parents would be able to run their own email service or manage a backup routine if they went the POP3 & SMTP route. The reason why cloud services have grown so much is because they make computing services access

Since the tapes are physical, can't you protect them using different strategies? Like how banks protect stuff contained in safe deposit boxes? I imagine the stuff stored in safe deposit boxes can be quite sensitive too.

They only stopped refunding you? They completely banned my account and my wife's account. We're still not sure what we did and they won't explain to us. Even escalated on Twitter and communicated by email. All we were told is

Honestly, a lot of people who see therapists do keep going. A friend put it to me this way: you're paying money for perspective and objectivity, and this is especially true for people in relationships. It also takes time and effort to

This is really interesting, as I've not heard many people say this. I wonder how common your experience is. Perhaps some people have a more narrow field of vision, or I wonder what else might cause it. I can only say that I absolutely

Whether or not it should happen doesn't answer the question of why it hasn't happened. The fact is that the very companies that do automated processing of applications probably would welcome resume standardization, so why didn&#x2

The US tried aligning with China with opening up trade and economic integration to the point where entire supply chains were linked up, WTO membership was granted, etc. It turned out that none of that mattered for aligning non-economic inte

That looks like a how-to book, not a why book.

Oh, I'M not negatively affected by always thinking about worst-case scenarios. It's the people AROUND me who are negatively affected. That's the issue. If I stopped thinking about worst-case scenarios, they would be so much h

An initial glance makes it seem similar to Schrödinger's cat. I do use Schrödinger's cat type thinking to make decisions and think about things when I don't know what the right answer is, so just act as if all scenarios are t

I read that book and as I recall, it makes the point that you need to have the intention and motivation to make it work, or else it won't matter. Whereas for me, the reasons I am always considering negative stuff (I just find it import

I read my comment again and I'm not sure how you got from my comment to writing what you did. I think we have a communication problem or a comprehension problem.

These are all good points. But it's still astonishing to me that she could not find someone INSIDE of Thailand who knew or studied the old Thai recipes. I would have figured there would be SOMEONE. Nobody could recommend anybody to her

You need to watch Netflix's Chef's Table, specifically the episode about Bo Songvisava and her restaurant Bo.lan. It's really interesting. She said that before she started Bo.lan, no Thai people who went out for dinner ate at

This type of management, but taken to the extreme. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/23/22399721/uk-post-office-s... People need to stop jumping to negative conclusions.

War is tough and horrible. Any person can see that. There are many complex reasons why the larger Afghan army could not stand up to the Taliban, and while the situation is not comparable at all to the Chinese military, my point is that ar

I think OLED followed that timeline (actually, more than only one decade), and we have OLED everywhere today. It could take a while, but don't discount its potential to come to mass market. And FWIW, nuclear fusion and battery breakt
